Tips for Making Your Solid Tires Investment Last!

Buying solid tires for your front loader, forklift, or other heavy machine is a huge investment. With proper care, you can make sure that you get the most of your solid tires before having to replace them. There are a number of small things you can do to make sure that your solid tires last as long as possible, including:

1. Always inspect the solid tire’s health before beginning work. While it is unlikely, your solid tire may become damaged due to a number of factors, including temperature changes, weather, and work conditions. Checking your solid tires before the workday begins will ensure that your forklift or front loader is always ready for use.

2. When your machine is not in use, consider storing solid tires in a cool, dry place out of the sun. This will ensure that the tires stay in good shape until you are ready to use them again.

3. Only use tires with the same tread pattern on one heavy machine. Mixing tread patterns will lead to inconsistent tread wear and will shorten the lifespan of all of your solid tires.

4. Rotate your tires according to manufacturer specifications. This also minimizes tire wear and ensures proper solid tire performance.

5. Maintain the machine that you use the solid tires on—heavy machinery can take a beating, and damage in other parts of the machine can affect tire performance. Ensuring the overall health of your heavy equipment will help your tires last longer.
