Martins Industries Launches New Range of Tire Inflation Cages to Improve Workplace Safety and Efficiency

Martins, manufacturer of a tire equipment has launched a new series of heavy-duty Tire Inflation Cages (MIC-6HD) which can almost eliminate any likelihood of injury during the tire inflation process.

The new range of inflation cages come with several innovative safety features. They include six heavy-duty reinforcement bars, a pneumatic safety valve on the cage door, an air hose with lock-on chuck, and an air deflection system for maximum containment. The inflation cages are fully compliant with local safety regulations in North America and Europe.

Currently, tire inflation workers are at significant risk of serious injury, or even death, when they inflate tires, especially large tires used for commercial vehicles. MIC-6HD Tire Inflation cages can serve as a one-stop station for safely and efficiently seating and inflating truck and bus tires.
MARTINS is the world leader in tire inflation safety cages, with over 20 different models to date. It has three tire-inflation cages in the MIC-6HD series. MIC-6HD users can choose from the Inflation Cage 6 Bars HD, the Inflation Cage Kit which includes an automatic inflator kit, or the Inflation Pit Stop 6 Bars HD. The addition of any MIC-6HD inflation system will minimize the need for physical handling, with the outcome being a quick and efficient inflation process and a safer workplace for everyone.

MARTINS developed the MIC-6HD series to cater to the specific needs of the Netherlands market, but then realized that the safety features available in this particular series would be useful to companies around the world.

Commenting on the new range, Martins Industries founder and president, Martin Depelteau said that the company has been sharing ideas with tire professionals from all over the world in its different locations, used the information obtained as a result of these discussions to create efficient and safe products that respond directly to those needs. The new safety inflation cage MIC-6HD is the outcome of that collaboration.

As the world-leading manufacturer of inflation safety cages for the smallest to the world biggest mining tires, Martins Research and Development team was able to offer an innovative solution to a common workplace problem that will increase the efficiency, safety and working conditions of tire inflation workers worldwide.
