EZ Dual Changer

The EZ Dual Changer is designed to make it possible for one person to change the dual tires safely on big machinery (e.g., tractor, combine) in a very short time. Hanging from a front-end loader bucket, chain hoist, forklift tine, or service-truck boom, the large tongs-shaped tool is slid over top of the tire then raised up, its arms catching under the wheel rim to lift and carry the tire to the piece of machinery. Once positioned for mounting, small wheels at the end of the tong arms allow the tire to be rotated to line up the lug nuts for bolting in place.

Cost: $360-$480, depending on model
