Gamma hand truck, how to inflate tires ??
« on: August 25, 2012, 12:03:20 PM »
Guys....I really need to inflate the tires of my hand truck for Eurocade....

I have been trying all kinds of pumps/nipples but nothing seems to freaking fit ! I tried bike pumps, car pumps whatever, nothing fits ??

It's this truck, someone else here must have the same model ?

Hello,

I have no problem with equivalent model to inflate the tires with a bicycle pump with the good tip.

I use a feetual (manual is for hand use ;) ) model like this:

I have the exact same type, it has a normal car nipple.

But today I move cabs on self made heavy-duty "doggies". I make them slightly larger than the cabs, so they don't bump into door posts. The Gamma-cart you show is too short, you often can't reach the grips with a cab on it, and you often don't see what you are doing.

Here it is.
There are at least 2 types of tube fittings.

Thanks !!! Found a foot pump a bit older and simpler like Blanka's and that had a perfect fitting tip. AFAIK it's a car tire pump (very old found it somewhere in my old stuff) so I don't understand why the one at the gas station didn't work.... o well, problem fixed !

And although I know this is not the best one around, it has served me great for all those years. Was a gift from my father who has a tendency to buy stuff he actually doesn't need after a while, and I gladly accepted this :)
