Rimex Supply Launches Portable Earthmover Tyre Press

Canada’s Rimex Supply Ltd has unveiled the Mobile Press, a portable tyre press for earthmover tyres. Engineered to easily remove an earthmover tyre from a multi-piece rim, the Mobile Press can be used on 51 to 63-inch tyres.

As removing an earthmover tyre from its rim is quite often time consuming and hence costly, Rimex believe the appeal of such an easily transportable product is clearly evident. The Mobile Press can be brought into most worksites and is easily stored when not in use. Rimex describe the unit as user-friendly and claim that, given proper training, any employee would be capable of safely operating the Mobile Press with ease and confidence. The Mobile Press carries the added bonus of costing substantially less than a standard tyre press.

“The Mobile Press system is as simple as moving a single pneumatic torque wrench from jack to jack, similar to torquing wheel nuts,” commented Rimex Supply’s Paul Houlker.

The Mobile Press has been designed with user safety in mind, and features an inline trigger and factory set regulator. The inline trigger allows the unit to be operated at a distance of at least six feet from the tyre. The inline regulator prevents the user from exceeding operational safety limits and ensures safe torque levels are met at all times.
