Ken-Tool has announced the introduction of its largest tire inflation safety cage – the Model T112 12-bar Earthmover Inflation Cage (product No. 36012). This single-piece cage is specifically designed for the inflation of very large earthmoving, mining and agricultural tires. It is the 13th safety cage from Ken-Tool.
Ken-Tool says it has developed a cage which dramatically increases the safety to technicians, while protecting equipment and facilities and allowing inflation of very large tires, up to 221 cm tall by 122 cm wide.
The T112 12-Bar Cage is manufactured in the U.S.A. from domestic steel, utilizing precision mandrel bent, very-high strength 12-gauge, 2.25-inch (5.70 cm) diameter structural steel tubes. Using a patented welding process, the ultra-strength tubes are MIG-welded to a 1/4-inch (0.64 cm) thick steel plate base which features two 1/4-inch 90-degree angled steel tire stops, welded in place. Six 4.00-inch (10.20 cm) by 1/4-inch thick reinforcing straps are MIG-welded to the tubes for lateral support. All welds are certified to the American Welding Society D 1.1 standards. The cage is rated to 100 psi, and is designed to provide adequate inside clearance to access the rim’s inflation valve. It meets current O.S.H.A. Standard No. 29 CFR Part 1910.177 regulations.
The T112 Earthmover Inflation Cage is 80-inches long, 60-inches wide and 99.50-inches tall (213 cm. x 152 cm x 253 cm), and weighs 1,200 pounds (545 kg), and is shipped by flatbed truck only.
