Wherever rebar (short for reinforcing bar) is used to strengthen the structural integrity of concrete (by increasing tensile strength, ie, ability to bend and stretch) in precast, construction or industrial applications, MAX® Rebar Tiers are on the job. During the almost-20 years since MAX® developed the world's first battery-operated, cordless rebar tying tool, MAX® has led the industry with innovative manufacturing technologies, producing faster- and tighter-tying, longer-lasting, and safer-operating rebar tying tools.
In studies conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the Health Construction Safety Association, and other regulators and industry authorities, MAX® Rebar Tiers were shown to significantly reduce hand, wrist, and forearm injuries while allowing workers to use a free hand to support their trunk (and thereby reduce back disorders) when tying. Also, when an extension handle-bar was used with a Rebar Tier, workers were able to tie rebar while standing erect, minimizing trunk flexion, and, therefore, lost-time back injuries. MAX® Rebar Tiers have been proven to be so important in reducing injuries that rebar ironworkers, aka, rod busters or rodworkers, increasingly support their use on every job, while both union and non-union contractors benefit from reduced Workman’s Comp modification factors.
When compared to hand tying, MAX® Rebar Tiers have been shown to significantly reduce labor costs, tying more than five times as fast. In Customer tests, MAX® Tiers have outperformed other brands by 50% to 80% in tying consistency, tool uptime, and reduced maintenance costs.
AIRMATIC, with our 50+-years of experience in the precast concrete industry, and 60+-years in the construction industry, immediately recognized the safety and economic value MAX® Rebar Tiers would bring to industry. In 1993, we became one of the first, and now the largest New England and Middle-Atlantic States distributors of MAX® Rebar Tiers. We maintain one of the nation's largest inventories of tools, wire, parts, and accessories, and ship most orders the same day they are received (cut off: 4 pm ET). We are an authorized service center with factory-trained mechanics, so if your tools need maintenance or repair, you can count on us for prompt, professional service.
We invite you to call our knowledgeable and friendly customer service representatives to place your order, or, if you need technical support on Rebar Tying or on concrete vibration (internal or external form vibrators), to talk with one of our sales engineers. …Helping Producers Excel! is our motto – and we walk-the-talk.
