Mobile Tyre Fitting On Sand
When we think about mobile tyre fitting, we generally think of a car sitting on someone’s drive or by the side of the road while a professional mobile tyre fitting service fits the tyres. What if you enjoy offroading in your 4×4, or just spend a lot of time driving on bumpy country roads in the middle of nowhere? Well, an air jack is the fast and easy way to jack your car up whether you are on soft sand, squelchy mud or any other surface, so that you can change a punctured wheel for the spare.
If you try to use a standard jack on sand or mud, as you try to raise the car the bottom of the jack would simply be sinking into the ground. Even if you managed to lift the car sufficiently, it wouldn’t be very safe as it would be resting on an unstable surface. You need something with a bigger surface area which doesn’t take up too much storage space and is still powerful enough to lift the vehicle. An air jack is perfect in these situations.
An air jack is basically a plastic bag that can be inflated either using a pipe connected to the exhaust while you rev the engine, or a air compressor or pump. You simply put it in place beneath the car, inflate it by whatever mechanism it uses and it raises the car. This then enables you to change the tyre if necessary, or helps free the car if you are just stuck in some mud or soft sand.
If you spend any time off roading on a variety of surfaces, then you need to consider what you would do if you became stuck or suffered a puncture. Calling a mobile tyre fitting service out when you’re in a muddy field somewhere in the middle of nowhere is not an option! You need to be able to handle the situation yourself and an air jack makes it much easier.
