A heavy-duty tyre inflation cage for commercial vehicle wheels 'has been announced by Stenor. The cage comes in two parts — a lower frame to support the wheel and an upper frame Ito constrain the wheel from above.
The central pillar is grooved to allow different sizes of wheel assembly to be accommodated.
A central grooved pillar allows the cage to be adjusted for various wheel thicknesses.
A special safety feature of the cage is a plug which is slid into the empty slot on the upper frame after it has 'been correctly located on the pillar. This plug effectively prevents the top frame being forced sideways and off the wheel by a flying rim. The cage is portable and can be stowed on board a service van for on-the-road repairs.
