What is the best air chuck for filling tires?

aighead said: In a similar area- Anyone know a quality pressure gauge? Amazon has a million, I've tried a few but haven't liked most of them. Click to expand... Not the best for every application, but the Haltec - GA-160 - Dual Foot pocket gauge is kinda handy.

Sticking the tires becomes an all day project when you roll on forty-four quick. At any given time, there is always a leaker, a cut, or an axle worth that needs rotated.

I think about the 820 tonne vessel they moved on 932 tires. It must have took several people hours to check all the tires unless the trailers had there own automatic inflation system and gauges. Think they'd want to visually inspect all the tires though.

Still a lot of work checking them all.

This thread reminds me,…..So, today is the opening day of the Alaska State Fair in Palmer. On this day, in 2015, an under-inflated trailer tire overheated on the Glenn Highway Palmer off-ramp. Blocking all the fair traffic. It had 6,200 hundred gallons of RUG loaded according to the manifest. Visually inspect and stick your tires, Boys.

So true.

Have not tried it yet but got the expensive Lock N Fill the other day.

It works great, now at some point I have to play with the crappy old forklift tires, split wedge type rims I guess it is called, I need to get all the air stems pointing out side and long enough, do they make extensions? Yeah at least the splits are all facing each other, duals. I hate tires. And yeah only 5 psi or less when installing them, and sit on the machine to fill them.

Yes they make extensions, with the valve already in place. Not sure how long they make them but I have some 2” and 3” that have been in my tire drawer for ever.

Yeah and they are duals, they are stemmed so the stems will poke to the inside on the outer wheel. I need to change that, so I have to flip the inner tube around I guess. I need to clean and paint them I guess if I don't want them to rust any more.
