JohnDow Industries has launched its latest products for the automotive tire and service industry. The Tire Taxi (JDI-TT1) is designed to make moving tires and wheels through storage areas and service bays simple, fast and safe. It increases shop efficiency and productivity while decreasing injuries and promoting safety.
Equipped with four heavy-duty casters and a load capacity of 265 lbs., the Tire Taxi can move up to eight tires or five tire and wheel assemblies. Its many uses include moving tires from the storage area, transporting wheel and tire assemblies from the vehicle to the tire changer, and stacking tires for display purposes.
The Tire Taxi EX (JDI-TT1-EX) is an extended-height version of the Tire Taxi. With an overall working height of 23”, the Tire Taxi EX creates a more ergonomic working height for the technician that helps to improve work posture, avoids unnecessary lifting and reduces strain on the back, knees and shoulders.
Both models were introduced at AAPEX 2016.
“These products are a natural for us and carry out two of our major product line commitments – making it both safer and more productive for the service technician in the auto service department,” said Joe Dease, president of JohnDow Industries.
As part of its Tire Taxi launch, the company recently released two videos that detail the benefits of this new product.
The videos go into detail communicating specific features of the Tire Taxi and the Tire Taxi EX.
