Description

We do not make COT-3 anymore but we still offer spare parts for it. It was replaced by COT-10.

A COT-3 pneumatic tire tripling machine is used for doubling tires (packing them one inside the other). With this brilliant machine you can easily load around 3000-3200 tires into a 40ft container, which lowers the shipping cost even by two thirds.

It is perfect for making 3 or 4-tire packs, but can make packs of 6 tires or more. When used properly the tire tripling machine is safe both for the operator and for the tires. Similarly to COT-2 it is powered by compressed air.

RULES OF TRIPLING tireS:

The following are general rules for tripling tires. These are not rigid guidelines, as there are sometimes exceptions, which you should check yourself.

1. The table of the machine can fit a car, jeep or commercial tire with a maximum diameter of 22 inches;
2. The outer tire must be the same or larger in diameter than the inner tire (e.g. 16″ –> 16″, 18″ –> 17″).
3. Any tire that is less than 15 inches in diameter will need to be the last tire in the pack (the tire in the very center of the pack). It is impossible to fit another tire into a 14-inch or smaller tire because the jaws would be too close together and the vertical pusher would not fit between them;
4. The width of each tire into which another tire is inserted must be at least 10 mm larger than the tire being inserted (e.g. 215 –> 205).

 

PLEASE NOTE!

There are poor quality Chinese copies of our original machines available on the market. We strongly advise against buying them because they do not comply with EU safety requirements and in case of an inspection the buyer may be fined by the supervisory authority in the country concerned.
