Spare tire carrier role and mechanism

A spare tire carrier is a fitting that secures a truck spare tire to a vehicle. A spare tire carrier is attached to the chassis and typically has a chain that suspends the spare tire.

Truck tires and wheels weigh 80 to 100 kg for large vehicles, but they can be easily attached and detached simply by rotating the carrier winding device with a special handle.

Yamada Body Works sells many types of spare tire carriers such as "for large, medium and small trucks" and "center suspension/side suspension". There are two types of spare tire carrier handles, "U-groove type" and "jack handle type", so please select according to the shape of the base of the carrier.

For large trucks, there are three types of hub diameters: the old standard tire hub diameter of φ221, the new standard tire hub diameter of φ221, and the tire hub diameter of φ164 for rear wheels of low-floor vehicles. When selecting a spare tire carrier, the selection of the hub diameter is also important, so please do not make a mistake.
