Fitting aid for large wheels - has support trolley with lever action hand grip

摘要

A fitting aid for heavy wheels has a crossbar (12) with two support wheels (14) and with two forks (20) to grip under the heavy wheel. The other side of the crossbar is fitted with an angled handle (18) to provide the leverage to lift the wheel. The forks are coated with a low friction sleeving. The tool enables a single operator to lift and fit heavy wheels. The fork sleeving can be rotating cylinders with bearings while a third bearing (26) with vertical axis on the middle of the crossbar pushes on the side of the wheel during fitting.
