Chicago Pneumatic has added new wheel dollies and rugged workshop presses to its line of workshop equipment for the professional automotive and heavy fleet maintenance industries.

The two new wheel dollies for heavy vehicle tyre changing and maintenance have lifting capacities of up to 1543 lbs (700kg) and 1.2 tons and are a robust assembly aid for trucks, buses and tractors. The CP87120 1.2 ton dolly has two handles for fast and easy manoeuvring and the width is adjustable to accept wheel diameters from 39.4 – 78.78 in. (1000 – 2200mm).  They include a fast turnable wheel attachment to ensure the wheels are balanced safely, and eight large rollers with automatically adjustable angles for easy handling of tyres with deep treads.  The dollies can be moved into position easily, whether in or outside the workshop, thanks to four large swivel wheels with brakes. 

The CP8770 twin-wheel dolly with a 1543 lbs (700 kg) lifting capacity is suitable for maintenance of wheel diameters 21.4 – 50.5 in (545 – 1280 mm) and features a chain attachment to provide safe wheel balancing during removal and transport.  Both wheel dollies are EC and ASME certified, and include a double action hydraulic piston smartly positioned on the side to enable easy access to the operating area, making the job easier and quicker.

Chicago Pneumatic’s two new air-hydraulic workshop presses offer 75 and 100 tons of pressure to the workshop, allowing users to bend and form metal to the desired shape and size. These presses include many ergonomic features, such as a movable cylinder, a dedicated winch to easily adjust the bench, a set of eight punches, and v-blocks with high capacity piston.  The presses are also EC and ASME certified, and include an additional adjustable safety cage for ASME markets.
