shaped ends.<br />

6) Service truck. In larger operations, a<br />

fully equipped truck can minimize<br />

down time. <strong>The</strong> truck should be<br />

equipped with:<br />

• A mounted hoist. <strong>The</strong> hoist should<br />

be strong enough to handle the<br />

largest tires.<br />

• An air compressor with a regulator.<br />

Models are available which operate<br />

off the truck engine or are self powered.<br />

• Large bore/super large bore inflating<br />

equipment. This minimizes inflation<br />

time.<br />

• Clip-on chucks with remote controls.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se allow inflation from a<br />

safe distance.
