“The Easy Gripper solution required a small fraction of the cost of a conventional tyre handler.”
A Smarter Investment in Capital Equipment
"As the owner of a small OTR tyre service business, it's essential that every capital investment delivers maximum return," says Nathan Colliss, founder of Specialised Tyre Solutions.
"When launching the business, I evaluated traditional tyre handling trucks versus a setup combining a flatbed beaver tail truck, forklift, and Easy Gripper 2160. The cost difference was significant - the Easy Gripper solution required a small fraction of the cost of a conventional tyre handler."
Flexible Equipment for Multiple Applications
"The Easy Gripper 2160 features a quick attach-and-release system that enables us to switch between tyre handling and general forklift operations within 60 seconds. This means we only need one forklift for both servicing OTR tyres and managing warehouse logistics - eliminating the need for a second machine."
On-Site Mobility and Operational Versatility
"Having the forklift and Easy Gripper on a flatbed truck gives us full mobility to take our tyre service capabilities directly to client sites. And when needed, we can offload the equipment and repurpose the truck for other transport needs - greatly enhancing our operational flexibility and asset utilisation."

Technician-Approved Performance
"Our lead technician - one of Sydney’s most experienced OTR tyre service professionals with over 20 years’ experience - initially approached the Easy Gripper with some hesitation, having spent over two decades using conventional equipment. However, within a few weeks, he recognised the many practical advantages the Easy Gripper offers and has become a strong advocate of the system."
