Rehvtõstuk

Rehvtõstuk, also known as a tire lift or wheel hoist, is a specialized piece of equipment used for lifting and manipulating heavy vehicle wheels, particularly during tire changes or maintenance. These devices are commonly found in automotive workshops, garages, and tire service centers.

The primary function of a rehvtõstuk is to reduce the physical strain on technicians when handling large and heavy tires and wheels. They often operate hydraulically or pneumatically, allowing for precise control over the lifting and lowering of the wheel. Many rehvtõstuk models feature a cradle or platform designed to securely hold a tire and rim assembly. Some advanced versions may incorporate features such as rotating mechanisms to facilitate easier alignment with the vehicle's hub.

Using a rehvtõstuk significantly improves safety by minimizing the risk of back injuries and dropped wheels. It also speeds up the tire replacement process, leading to increased efficiency in service operations. The design and capacity of rehvtõstuk vary depending on the types of vehicles they are intended for, ranging from small passenger cars to heavy-duty trucks and buses. Maintenance of these devices is crucial to ensure their reliable and safe operation.
