Wheel Weight Handling Tool – SP002V9810010

AGCO continue to embrace our Farmer First strategy, putting the needs and safety of our customers at the front of our business, developing products to help drive our industry forward. We are pleased to be able to launch the BRAND-NEW wheel weight handling tool, engineered by Fendt for use across all manufacturers machines.

The lifting device can pick up different wheel weights with a weight of up to 1,250 kilograms and an inner diameter of at least 400 millimetres.
The tool is picked up with a pallet fork and secured by a chain. Via heavy-duty rollers, the wheel weight can be easily adjusted to the hole pattern in the rim. This allows users to mount or dismount their wheel weights quickly, safely and ergonomically.

Benefits

Wheel weights often remain mounted due to the big effort of dismounting, this leads to higher fuel consumption and less cross weight.

Mounting or dismounting wheel weights is very dangerous only using a fork lift. Nowadays there are crane solutions available on the market, however few farmers have access to a crane.

When only using forks there is no locking mechanism to prevent accidents. A wheel weight might slide from the forks.

High risk by using only forks for scratches in the inner diameter of the wheel weight.

Bad ergonomics: The farmer has to apply high forces to turn the wheel weights to match the holes of the rim and the wheel weights.
