Otraco Specialised Tools – Sealing Clamps
Our specialised Sealing Clamps enable tyre fitters to inflate tyres safely and efficiently, without the need to employ alternative methods.
With the introduction of hybrid size tyres for Caterpillar 793F haul trucks in 2016, Otraco identified an issue with achieving a successful seal during the tyre fitment process on double-gutter 32” rims.
This issue posed a significant operational problem for mining operators, due to considerable downtime during tyre changes, resulting in increased costs. Furthermore, the lack of a reliable method for achieving a seal in this scenario raised safety concerns for site teams, who were forced to rely on trial and error to complete the tyre change.
A solution had to be found.
To solve the problem, Otraco’s team developed a specifically designed Sealing Clamp to achieve an air-seal for tyres mounted on double gutter and OVM / integral gutter type rims.
Launched in 2016, the sealing clamps secured the outer facing bead seat band against the outer O-ring, enabling tyre handlers to manipulate and secure the inner bead seat band against the inner O-ring to achieve an air-seal.
The new specialised tooling enabled tyre fitters to inflate tyres safely and efficiently, without the need to employ alternative methods.
