Solid Skid Steer Tires for Puncture-Prone Applications

Historically, pneumatic tires have been a fixture on skid steers; however, as the number of tasks these versatile machines are asked to perform continues to grow, so do the kinds of tires available for them. There is no one-sits-fits-all tire solution for today’s skid steers, but pairing the “right” tire to the conditions your machine works in can pay off—improving everything from productivity to profit. For example, solid skid steer tires offer numerous advantages to machines working in harsh, puncture-prone environments in applications like demolition, scrap, waste, and recycling.

Here are five reasons why skid steer owners operating in some of the most challenging applications are turning to solid tires.

The Pros and Cons of the Different Types of Telehandler Tires 

Telehandler owners/operators ask a lot of their tires—they need to transmit a machine’s power, provide stability when moving a load at height, operate in a variety of terrains, and stand up to regular use. Consequently, equipping a telehandler with the right tire will have an enormous effect on its performance, improving everything from productivity and safety to profit. But what type of telehandler tire to choose?

Why Choose a Super-Deep Skid Steer Tire 

Skid steer loaders (SSLs) perform a multitude of tasks in many different conditions; consequently, a wide variety of tire options are available to maximize their performance. Factors like tire construction (radial, bias, solid) and tread pattern (lug, block, button) can make a huge difference in tire performance and cost over the lifetime of the tire. Tread depth is another important characteristic to consider when choosing the best SSL tire for the job. Below is why “going deep” (on tread) is a home run for many skid steer applications. 

Choosing Between the Different Types of Forklift Tires 

Whether working in busy warehouses, fast-paced ports, or on bustling construction sites, forklifts are a common sight in many industries. Despite the different ways these industries use forklifts, one factor is shared by all: improving the efficiency and productivity of its machinery can positively impact an operation’s bottom line. A simple step toward getting the best performance from a forklift is to equip it with the right tires for the job.
