However, Alberth Aviation's destructive testing found
the cages from the trucking industry were
not a safe option for aviation wheels. The trucking industry tire
cages provided no protection against the shrapnel resulting from a
catastrophic overinflation failure.
The dual overlapping door design of the Alberth Aviation Tire
Inflation Cage provides easy access, strength and protection. It is
made in the USA with laminated steel plate construction. The double over-pressurization safety features are designed to prevent an
overinflation from occurring. For ease of use, some key features are
hands-free tire inflation, an external gauge panel with nitrogen fill
port, and a bank vault style door latch assembly. The Tire Inflation
Cage also includes three different quick disconnect fill fittings to
fit various wheel fill port designs.
According to Alberth, the Tire Inflation Cage is the only designed
and tested tire cage for the aviation industry proven to contain the
debris if an overinflation accident should occur.
Two models of the Tire Inflation Cage are available.
"The original model TC-36 accommodates wheel and tire assemblies up to 36 inches in diameter," Alberth says, adding when it was
first introduced in 2004, the largest corporate aircraft at the time
was the Gulfstream GV.
Alberth Aviation's customers' safety requests led the company
to design the larger model TC-42 in 2016 to service wheel and tire
assemblies up to 42 inches in diameter for large corporate aircraft
such as the Gulfstream G650, Bombardier Global Express models, as well as some regional jets. The size of the wheel and tire
assembly being serviced should be considered when determining
which model is needed.

"An optional feature for the Tire Inflation Cage is the customer's color choice,"
Alberth says. "Custom colors have been
popular for some of our customers that
have signature corporate colors or unique
logos that they want to present."
When the Tire Inflation Cage is used
inside a hangar or maintenance facility and
kept clean, it is relatively maintenance free.
The Alberth Aviation Tire Inflation
Cage is currently being used worldwide at
hundreds of corporate flight departments,
wheel and brake shops, factory service centers, independent maintenance facilities and
military locations.
"Our customers have told us that our tire
cages are easy to use and that they appreciate
the safety features that they provide," Alberth
says. "Some companies have required them for their maintenance
personnel's safety."

Adaptable and manoeuvrable,
Juniper Lightweight compressor
washing rigs are a favourite with
our customers around the world.
