”There's just no better way to do it!”
Easy Gripper 2400-2T greatly improves tyre service in Southern Australia!
Peers Motors
In Pinnaroo, Southern Australia, you'll find Mr. Synon Peers, proprietor of Peers Motors. Peers Motors has been serving the community for almost 50 years, and drivers have trusted them because of the high quality of their auto servicing and their ability to work with a broad variety of tyre sizes.
He had discovered, however, like many others in his profession, that working with tyres is not only difficult but also risky. After learning about our Easy Gripper at EPIC OTR Solutions, the master distributor of Just Easy Tools in Australasia, he made the decision to purchase one.
Though he was still learning, Mr. Peers saw right away that this was "a million times better... there's really no better way to do it." After some training and practice, they found that this machinery was a vast improvement over the previous methods, which required a crew of two or three people to constantly tip, move, and mount the tires.
“With the Easy Gripper, time consumption has been reduced, but it is also the fact that previously you’ve got two on everything - or three. And how much is the safety and protecting the equipment worth?”
One machine, many applications
Today, Peers Motors uses the Easy Gripper for civil, industrial, and agricultural purposes both inside and outside the workshop. It moves tyre assemblies to and from the tyre fitting machine and removes and installs the assemblies on vehicles outside the workshop. The Easy Gripper is also used for indoor and outdoor storage needs, and it helps the workers care for tyres on the road. This is all done with one Easy Gripper.
But that’s not all. Peers Motor was able to put the Easy Gripper on an existing carrier unit, saving the need to purchase a new forklift. And better yet, they can quickly swap between the Easy Gripper, the rotator device, and the forks for additional forklift jobs. Overall, this has given Mr. Peers and his crew an exceptionally flexible, high-value solution.
“Customers come here with their flat tyres on the back of their trucks. With the Easy Gripper we can now pick up the tyre right from the truck and hang it straight up on the tyre fitting machine, while protecting the tyres. Whereas before we had to tip the tyre off the truck, stand it up and … there’s no comparison.”
