Schneider carries all tooling needed for proper RIST procedures to be carried out at all locations that replace tires. Some of the tooling includes torque guns, torque wrenches, cleaning tools and safety equipment to help protect diesel technicians.
All tooling is sent in once a year for inspection and verification. This ensures that impacts, torque guns and wrenches are all working within stance. Once the RIST procedure is complete and the tire has been installed, a torque validation is done to ensure there are no issues. We do this to ensure our work and to make sure we are taking all safety precautions.
Schneider uses state-of-the-art alignment tooling to help align steer, front and rear drive axles. We ensure all axles are set within our standards to help with wear on tires in different positions.
Tire inventory
Tires that Schneider holds in its inventory are all mounted on wheels and aired to spec. When tires are removed from a unit, they remain mounted. All repairs, dis-mounting, mounting and airing are handled by our supplier. We do not break down any tires! We do this to help ensure safety for our diesel technicians.
