Boost ATV Traction, Stability With Clamp-On Duals
Install Clic Dual wheels on your ATV and you'll enjoy vastly improved traction, stability and flotation, says Dave King, Dual Concepts, Inc. Once the system has been installed the first time, they can be removed or reinstalled in about five seconds with no tools.
"We distribute them for a company in Switzerland that has been making duals for about 30 years," says King. "They specialize in quick release dual wheels. They use a lot of clamp-on dual wheels because of vehicle width restrictions on their roads."
Although the Clic Duals were originally designed for ATV's, King says they've also installed them on skid steers, SUV's, pickups and industrial equipment like chippers and shredders. They're not recommended for speeds over 20 mph.
"A lot of our customers use the duals for work, such as mowing or spraying side hills," says King. "They help prevent roll overs. We also sell a lot of them to guys in Canada working in mining and construction. The duals help them drive across muskeg or marshy ground."
Clic Duals deserve their name. Once installed, tires can be removed by driving the inside tire over a block, so the dual is off the ground an inch or two. Simply unlock the levers on the drum, twist the tire toward the front and pull it off. To reinstall, twist the levers to the locked position, and position the center pin in the center hole with the dual wheel pushed against the inside wheel. Twist the dual wheel against the direction of forward travel until it clicks into place.
A kit for one axle sells for $695 plus $50 shipping. Everything is included except the tires. King notes that most customers want to match tires with what is already on the vehicle, whether lug, turf or other style.
