Future Event: ATH-Heinl Showcases Wireless Wheel Gripping Systems for Commercial Vehicles at NUFAM 2025
The ATH RG8.5-6 WB and ATH RG5.5-4 WB are two heavy-duty wheel lifting systems designed to handle vehicle wheels efficiently and safely. These systems are ideal for various applications, from large fleets and municipal operations to forwarding agencies and workshops.
ATH RG8.5-6 WB (Heavy-Duty Wheel Lift System)
The ATH RG8.5-6 WB is a high-performance electro-hydraulic wheel lift system, boasting a load capacity of up to 8.5 tons per column. This system is perfect for industrial and automotive environments where heavy wheels, such as truck or industrial vehicle wheels, need to be lifted, moved, or installed.
Key Features: - Robust construction to handle high loads and ensure durability. - Secure and stable lifting of wheels, minimizing risk during handling. - Adjustable or versatile gripping mechanisms to accommodate various wheel sizes. - Ergonomic features for ease of use and operator safety.
Applications: - Workshops, tire service centers, and manufacturing plants dealing with large vehicle wheels. - Maintenance, repair, and assembly tasks involving heavy wheels.
ATH RG5.5-4 WB (Compact Wheel Gripper System)
The ATH RG5.5-4 WB is a compact electrohydraulic wheel gripper system designed for workshops with medium commercial vehicle volume. This system focuses on reliability, precision grip, and maneuverability, making it suitable for automotive workshops and tire service areas where smaller or passenger vehicle wheels are handled.
Key Features: - Wheel gripper mechanism ensures secure hold during lifting and transport. - Lightweight and maneuverable for use in tighter spaces or conditions requiring higher flexibility. - User-friendly controls to enhance operation efficiency.
Applications: - Lifting, moving, and positioning wheels during maintenance and repair processes. - Environments requiring a compact tool that can easily fit in confined spaces while ensuring safe wheel handling.
Both systems offer additional features to enhance safety, ergonomics, and efficiency in wheel handling tasks. The ATH RG8.5-6 WB, for instance, includes a Safety-Lock function and a Safety-Control-System with a hydraulic check valve, an electronic synchronization monitoring system, and electromagnetic safety catches. Meanwhile, the ATH RG5.5-4 WB features wireless control with a touchscreen and offers access to all operating information via the master control.
Each column of the ATH RG8.5-6 WB and ATH RG5.5-4 WB comes with its own control unit and an aggregate cover, ensuring a streamlined and organised setup. Additionally, the ATH RG8.5-6 WB includes a mobile kit and a forklift receptacle on the columns, allowing for quick repositioning of the system. The ATH RG5.5-4 WB ensures maximum mobility with a mobile kit and a forklift pick-up on each column.
In summary, the ATH RG8.5-6 WB is tailored for heavy-duty wheel lifting, focusing on robustness and capacity, while the ATH RG5.5-4 WB prioritizes compactness and precision grip for smaller wheels. Both systems enhance safety, ergonomics, and efficiency in wheel handling tasks in their respective application domains.
The ATH RG8.5-6 WB's versatility extends beyond vehicle maintenance, making it valuable in industrial finance and technology sectors where equipment and machinery restoration might be required. In the realm of sports, the system's robustness and efficient handling could also be beneficial for sports vehicles and equipment.
On the other hand, the compact ATH RG5.5-4 WB could find a place in financial businesses dealing with medium-scale operations, providing a reliable and efficient solution for handling various business equipment and smaller machinery. The system's precision grip and maneuverability might also be desirable in the sports industry for maintaining and transporting sports equipment.
