Repairing a GIANT $30k Tire with a Flat
Usually when your vehicle gets a flat, you'll either patch it for a couple bucks or just replace it, which usually only costs 1-200 bucks. Well what about those Giant tires you see on construction vehicles like one that's found on a Earthmover which costs $30k. Well it's actually someone's full time job to repair these tires.
Rema Tip Top is a company founded in Germany in 1923 that specializes in repairing large equipment tires.
This is no easy task either, unlike a automotive tire patch job that takes about twenty minutes, repairing one of these monstrous tires is a 1-3 day job depending on the severity of the damage. Check out the video below which fast forwarded the process into about 15 minutes and see just how this is done.
