In tyre manufacturing, safe handling of heavy and bulky tyres is a daily challenge. Workshops and production lines need reliable lifting equipment that reduces manual effort, limits downtime and protects both people and products. RUD India’s TECDOS lifting solutions are designed for exactly these needs: they combine precise motion control with robust construction to make tyre handling safer and more efficient.
Tyres are bulky, awkward to grip and often require rotation or repositioning during inspection, vulcanisation and finishing. Using inappropriate methods or improvised fixtures risks product damage, slows the production line and can cause injuries. A purpose-built lifting system simplifies these steps and makes operations repeatable and predictable.
A dependable lifting system reduces variability. Operators can move tyres faster, align them correctly for finishing processes and perform inspections without risky manual manoeuvres. Consistent handling also lowers scrap rates and protects expensive moulds and presses used across tyre manufacturing equipment.
The RUD TECDOS offers a range of devices that address different lifting and handling tasks found in tyre plants.
The TECDOS OMEGA Drive features a distinctive loop and a 180-degree angle that supports continuous linear or rotational movements. It’s widely used in heavy industries to move crane booms, open cargo covers and operate platforms. For tyre plants, the same precise control ensures smooth positioning of handling rigs and lifting platforms.
Lifto Roto Beam handles both lifting and tilting tasks with smooth rotation. In comparison to angular lifts made with conventional chain slings, this device reduces shock and unexpected swings during tilting. That added control improves operator confidence and contributes to safer workflows.
Belt tensioning units are critical to conveyor systems and tyre presses. Handling these units the old-fashioned way is slow and risky. The Take Up Device automates heavy tensioning unit handling for maintenance and breakdowns, which cuts downtime and reduces dependence on ad-hoc lifting methods.
For larger tyre assemblies or outbound logistics, TECDOS Tool Movers and Truck Loading Systems help move heavy items safely from shop floor to transport. Mobility, controlled rotation and robust construction bring consistency to loading tasks and protect staff during transfers.
Each TECDOS module focuses on predictable movement and controllable forces. Smooth starts and stops, synchronized drives and purpose-built fixtures mean components don’t jolt or swing unexpectedly. Operators benefit from fewer manual lifts and clearer procedures, which lowers injury rates and shortens cycle times. For organisations using tyre manufacturing equipment, that translates to higher throughput and fewer quality incidents.
Assess the load profiles, platform sizes and duty cycles on your shop floor. Match capacity to the heaviest tyre assemblies and include features such as load limiting and low platform heights for easy access. Training and scheduled inspections are essential: even low-maintenance drives and variable frequency systems need basic checks to stay reliable.
Upgrading to RUD India’s professional TECDOS lifting solutions is an investment in process safety and product quality. Reduced handling time, safer operations and lower damage rates often repay the cost quickly through fewer stoppages and less rework. For tyre manufacturers focused on reliable output and worker safety, the right lifting system is a practical step toward operational excellence.
