GS Schaad Clic dual wheel attachments

The GS Schaad Clic easily attached dual wheels simply ‘click on’ to an existing tyre and wheel assembly of a quad bike or similar type of mobile equipment. The product is designed to increase the equipment’s flotation, stability, towing power and traction, which is claimed to increase the protection against potentially fatal or injurious rollovers for many types of small wheeled machines.

The purpose-designed Clic range of dual wheels is manufactured in Switzerland by GS Schaad, a specialist manufacturer of tractor wheeled equipment. The products simply click on to an existing tyre and wheel assembly, especially to the driven axle. The design incorporates a cast aluminium spacer and connector which attaches easily to the original wheel mount. The assembly of rim and tyre clicks on and locks to the original wheel. They can be easily removed if required just by reversing the attachment process. The actual spacing between the original wheel and the Clic assembly is claimed to be able to increase the ground contact of a quad bike by as much as 60 cm using common tyre and rim sizes.

The range is used in Europe on two- and four-axle machines especially to increase the stability of wheeled equipment being worked on sloping ground or cross fall surfaces. Another benefit is increased traction by having two or more extra tyres in contact with the surface, which in wet conditions can significantly improve the value of a wheeled machine.

The product is suitable for vineyard, forestry, harvesting, construction machines such as loaders, all types of farm machines, larger ride-on mowers even small trucks and 4WDs for off-road use.
