At Swinton Bks Munster we had a cage for inflating the split rims on our Bedfords in MT
bog off! They call them Spider Rims in Oz......so Spider Rims it is![]()
Those two piece wheels were pretty safe though, as long as all the nuts were on and done up. Still poor drills though.I once saw a lad in Cyprus inflating a tyre for an AEC with the tyre leaning up against the outside of the cage.
When he was asked by a Cpl why he wasn't using the cage he replied he didn't know what it was for .
At his last unit SOP's was to either stand on the tyre or hold it against a wall with your feet as you sat down.
There are only a handful of trucks in UK on Daytona. And I think I own most of them.
unfortunately if it is going to go the flying ring would break your arm or smash your tetth out before any real pressure could be released.

When I started driving in 1980, we also had a FIAT just pre IVECO, that had Spider rims as well. EEC banded them, some safety concern over wheels falling off. The whole time I lived in Oz, I never had a problem with them.We had some on a Fiat, that was 40-odd years ago.

As seen on the car transporter used in the Italian Job film (the original one)Confirms my memory - thank you. It was indeed pre-Iveco.

The wheels on Fiats were Triflex wheelsPossibly a newer model in 1980-something, similar to this. And why is it - out of hundreds of images on the net you can never find exactly what you want!
