UNICAT Expedition Vehicle: Beadlock and Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 тра 2020
- - A beadlock or bead lock is a mechanical device that secures the bead of a tire to the wheel of a vehicle.
Tires and wheels are designed so that, when the tire is inflated, the tire pressure pushes the bead of the tire against the inside of the wheel rim so that the tire stays on the wheel and the two rotate together. In situations where tire pressure is insufficient to hold the bead of the tire in place, a beadlock is needed.
- A central tire inflation system (CTIS) is a system to provide control over the air pressure in each tire of a vehicle as a way to improve performance on different surfaces. For example, lowering the air pressure in a tire creates a larger area of contact between the tire and the ground and makes driving on softer ground much easier. It also does less damage to the surface.
This is important on work sites and in agricultural fields. By giving the driver direct control over the air pressure in each tire, maneuverability is greatly improved.
Another function of the CTIS is to maintain pressure in the tires if there is a slow leak or puncture. In this case, the system controls inflation automatically based on the selected pressure the driver has set.

Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new. Thank you!
Very informative - thank you, Herr Ritter. A lot of new knowledge to us who are not versed in this technical world.
I enjoy these videos very much. If I win the lottery I will be your next and best customer!
Nice work Sir. Excellent explanation of a system that has many parts to it.
Awesome technology these will helps a lot to those who likes offroading and travelling remote places.
Thanks for the explanation. Now I understand beadlocks & run flats.

Thanks as usual amazing explanation
Fantastic and well explained

UniCat, simply the Best!
Thanks so much
Thank you, very interesting. Suggestion for a topic on a future video, talk about the CTIS (central tire inflating system), types, how it works, maintenace, reliability etc.... keep it up good job!!
I agree... probabli its one of the most wanted topics, and the one with less useful information avalable on internet.
Thanks for the requests, you also help us understand what interests our audience. We will also try to organize for this topic.
The run flat option sounds like a no-go. I think the 2 piece wheel with beadlock option is the way to go.
Yes correct
Thanks for this video!!!
Thanks Pedro, don't forget to subscribe to our channel
@@UNICATexpeditionvehicles Thank you UNICAT!!! We'll be in touch!!!. Guten Tag!!! Atte: Pedro LEON

Another excellent video Thomas, thank you. Could you tell me what colour this truck is?
It's very nice 👌
Hi, Please do video on the Zetros you have there. Love your videos, the best.
Thomas, as always, excellent. However, you need to mention the requirement for special runflat grease inside the tires with runflats. Otherwise, tires run flat will catch fire.
I have concerns the grease could cause problems with CTIS if installed.
Charlie
thank you but how dose the air go in the tire&how much is the cost of the (CTIS)
For me,!!!!!!!!!
This would be much better to show the three pieces of the rim as to then what they do.
Thanks, I am sure I would figure it out, but To Listen is thus to learn.
Hello Thomas, which brand you recommend for the two pieces beadlock? Thanks in advance
Hi, nice video. I wonder, are there beadlock wheels available for my Unimog 1300L on the standard 20"rim? I have already once driven off the tire while running on 1,5bar pressure. By Murphy's law, of course, the tires were changed in the rain and mud.
I would also want to know this i have the 14.5R20 wheels on my unimog and i would love this upgrade :)
Would this ever be available to install on a regular suv, like a Nissan patrol?
Welche Felgen mit der Option Bead-Lock werden oder wurden für den gezeigten Zetros genutzt? Die müssen ja auch Inside-Out funktionieren für die hintere Achse. Vielen Dank
Which Rims did you use with Bead-Lock on the shown Zetros, because they must be able to get used inside-out on the rear axle? Thanks
In my opinion, one of the most important things in the topic of tires that most people would like to know and wasnt on this video, is... how comon are those tires and how available how easy it is to buy one if needed in africa, south america, central asia and so on?
Thanks for the requests, you also help us understand what interests our audience. We will also try to organize for this topic.
Thanks for the video. When you talk about CTIS is this like the Unimog that can be operated from the cabin whilst moving or is it the type where you have to stop and attach hoses to the wheels? Thanks
there is a panel in the cockpit to check the pressures, no external tubes, the connections are inside the axle
What about a tire with double section air, one internal and other exterinal. So when you are in off road mode, suck out the air of the external section but keeping the air in the internal section. It may also prevent punch. Sorry for my English
Hello Matias, I only know that technology from MTB bicycles, never saw it on a offroad vehicle.
I think it would make sense, but I doubt it exists.
What is the brand of the runflat/beadlock solution?
Do you sell the the two piece aluminum wheels? What brand are they. Where can I get more info. Do you know if there is a way to retrofit CTIS to a diff that does not have it?
Hi, no we don't sell wheels, there are specialized companies, just do a google search. tip: look for military surpluses
What colour is it?? You gave me a like and no answer!
Hello. What are, in terms of practicality and off-road abilities, the differences between a Zetros 6x6 and a TGS 6x6? That’s the most common trucks we see on top quality expedition trucks, but it can figure out why choosing one or the other! Which of them is the most capable truck? Thanks!
Hi Maxime, find the answers to your question in Live # 5-6-9.
Thanks a lot!
Just a suggestion, it would be much easier listening experience if you wore a portable mic
Show CTI Setup
Please
Where Are The Airlines?
Can u teach us to change a tire on UNICAT. I know how to change a tire on a 18 wheeler tracker trailer. I know how to change tire on van or car or motorcycle.
Hi Thomas, is there a speed restriction on highway driving when using beadlocks compared to no beadlocks?
No, there are no restrictions
Are beadlocks allowed in Australia?
As far as I know, beadlock´s haven't been approved in Australia, and nor do they fit into the standards that have already been approved so, means they are not allowed
There is no Such thing as a 1600 tyre ok!! what size is it in metric 385-65-22.5" what is it in real world sizes??!!! answer the question.
An explosion of the front tire you will go into the dich you cant steer with a beadlock only in the front you will have control to steer.
