AME International Unveils Two New Innovations for the OTR Tire Industry
Gator Bites are made from strong, lightweight aluminum and withstand rigorous use and provide long-lasting reliability. Two size combinations offered to fit the application and technician’s preferences.
The new 3-Step tool is designed to hold the space created by the beadbreaker so the technician can move to the opposite side and continue the demounting process safely.

These innovations will be unveiled at the 2025 Off-the-Road Tire Conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico, February 19-22, where AME’s President, Keith Jarman, along with sales team members Don Tinker, John Melosci, and Kelsey Jarman, will be in attendance.
Meet Gator Bites: Small Tools, Big Impact
Tire technicians know that stability and safety are non-negotiable. That’s why AME has developed the Gator Bite Wedges – two innovative solutions built for durability and reliability in demanding OTR environments:
• Designed for precision and strength, this wedge offers a compact yet effective way to create secure separation between tire components during service.
• Featuring a specialized anti-slip surface, this lightweight yet rugged wedge provides superior grip, reducing movement and increasing technician safety.
• Made from strong, lightweight aluminum, the Gator Bites withstand rigorous use and provide long-lasting reliability.
• Two size combinations offered to fit the application and technician’s preferences (1cm x 4 cm on product number 11510 or 3cm x 4 cm on product number 11515).
Whether you're a seasoned industry veteran or just getting started, these wedges are essential additions to any tire service kit, ensuring a safer and more efficient work environment. Find more about our new Gator Bites line here.
