Acom Eaton Corp Partners with Wolter for Enhanced CombiLift Tire Replacement

Acom Eaton Corp, a leading electric transformer manufacturer dedicated to improving people’s lives through power management encountered challenges with its CombiLift tires in their Waukesha, WI location.

People depend on Acom Eaton Corp for technology, transportation, and energy to live and work. That’s why when they asked for help, it was our turn to step in. They encountered opportunities for improvement that led to the consideration of upgrading CombiLift – SC Tires. These opportunities included optimizing turning capabilities and ensuring consistent tread depth for enhanced performance.

The replacement of straddle carrier tires significantly contributes to the overall operational efficiency of Acom Eaton Corp’s material handling equipment. The CombiLift Straddle Carrier plays a pivotal role in loading trucks and minimizing downtime during operations. Wolter’s Tire Specialist team, powered by our tire press truck, helped in avoiding downtime, eliminating the need for renting a crane and incurring additional costs.

Acom Eaton Corp has chosen Wolter as their exclusive partner for CombiLift tire requirements, driven by strong customer loyalty in the industry and the confidence placed in Wolter’s specialized expertise.

“The thing with CombiLift Tires is that they’re 3-4 times larger than your average tire, meaning we need more labor, equipment and time”. Knowing these obstacles didn’t stop the Wolter Team from replacing CombiLift Tires in a short period of time, delivering on our promise to Accelerate Your Productivity.

The decision-making process at Acom Eaton Corp is primarily influenced by cost considerations. Collaborating with Wolter for tire replacement enables them to save on expenses, especially using aftermarket tires. Wolter’s expertise eliminates the need for any additional expenses. 

Acom Eaton Corp expects notable improvements in durability, safety, and overall performance with the replacement of specialty tires. Ensuring optimal tread depth and addressing issues like broken rims are crucial for maintaining worker safety and the stability of the CombiLift-SC during material handling operations.

Jeremy Johnson, a tire specialist at Wolter, emphasizes the company’s commitment to delivering unparalleled solutions and leveraging their specialized knowledge to address the unique challenges faced by Acom Eaton Corp in optimizing their CombiLift tire management and replacement processes. According to Johnson, “Most places would have you replace the rims as well, costing up to 3-4 times the investment. But here at Wolter, we have the expertise and resources to tackle any job.”
