UNICAT Expedition Vehicle: Beadlock and Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS)

Рет қаралды 36,631

4 жыл бұрын

- A beadlock or bead lock is a mechanical device that secures the bead of a tire to the wheel of a vehicle.
Tires and wheels are designed so that, when the tire is inflated, the tire pressure pushes the bead of the tire against the inside of the wheel rim so that the tire stays on the wheel and the two rotate together. In situations where tire pressure is insufficient to hold the bead of the tire in place, a beadlock is needed.
- A central tire inflation system (CTIS) is a system to provide control over the air pressure in each tire of a vehicle as a way to improve performance on different surfaces. For example, lowering the air pressure in a tire creates a larger area of contact between the tire and the ground and makes driving on softer ground much easier. It also does less damage to the surface.
This is important on work sites and in agricultural fields. By giving the driver direct control over the air pressure in each tire, maneuverability is greatly improved.
Another function of the CTIS is to maintain pressure in the tires if there is a slow leak or puncture. In this case, the system controls inflation automatically based on the selected pressure the driver has set.

Thank you, very interesting. Suggestion for a topic on a future video, talk about the CTIS (central tire inflating system), types, how it works, maintenace, reliability etc.... keep it up good job!!

Hello Thomas, which brand you recommend for the two pieces beadlock? Thanks in advance

@MoebiusUK 4 жыл бұрын

The run flat option sounds like a no-go. I think the 2 piece wheel with beadlock option is the way to go.

Yes correct

Would this ever be available to install on a regular suv, like a Nissan patrol?

@charlieaarons2862 10 ай бұрын

Thomas, as always, excellent. However, you need to mention the requirement for special runflat grease inside the tires with runflats. Otherwise, tires run flat will catch fire. I have concerns the grease could cause problems with CTIS if installed. Charlie

Welche Felgen mit der Option Bead-Lock werden oder wurden für den gezeigten Zetros genutzt? Die müssen ja auch Inside-Out funktionieren für die hintere Achse. Vielen Dank Which Rims did you use with Bead-Lock on the shown Zetros, because they must be able to get used inside-out on the rear axle? Thanks

@tomabraham2927 25 күн бұрын

Thanks for the video. When you talk about CTIS is this like the Unimog that can be operated from the cabin whilst moving or is it the type where you have to stop and attach hoses to the wheels? Thanks

@UNICATexpeditionvehicles 25 күн бұрын

there is a panel in the cockpit to check the pressures, no external tubes, the connections are inside the axle

Hi, nice video. I wonder, are there beadlock wheels available for my Unimog 1300L on the standard 20"rim? I have already once driven off the tire while running on 1,5bar pressure. By Murphy's law, of course, the tires were changed in the rain and mud.

Do you sell the the two piece aluminum wheels? What brand are they. Where can I get more info. Do you know if there is a way to retrofit CTIS to a diff that does not have it?

Hi, no we don't sell wheels, there are specialized companies, just do a google search. tip: look for military surpluses

Hello. What are, in terms of practicality and off-road abilities, the differences between a Zetros 6x6 and a TGS 6x6? That’s the most common trucks we see on top quality expedition trucks, but it can figure out why choosing one or the other! Which of them is the most capable truck? Thanks!

What about a tire with double section air, one internal and other exterinal. So when you are in off road mode, suck out the air of the external section but keeping the air in the internal section. It may also prevent punch. Sorry for my English

Hello Matias, I only know that technology from MTB bicycles, never saw it on a offroad vehicle. I think it would make sense, but I doubt it exists.

In my opinion, one of the most important things in the topic of tires that most people would like to know and wasnt on this video, is... how comon are those tires and how available how easy it is to buy one if needed in africa, south america, central asia and so on?

Are beadlocks allowed in Australia?

@UNICATexpeditionvehicles 4 жыл бұрын

As far as I know, beadlock´s haven't been approved in Australia, and nor do they fit into the standards that have already been approved so, means they are not allowed
