Longevity of Tires

Solid Tires: Typically, solid tires last the longest due to their puncture-proof design and durable construction. They are ideal for high-intensity applications where downtime due to tire damage is not acceptable.

Pneumatic Tires: While offering the best ride comfort and traction, pneumatic tires generally have a shorter lifespan compared to solid and foam-filled tires, especially in environments with sharp debris.

Key Features

Durability: Solid and foam-filled tires provide high resistance to punctures and cuts, making them ideal for rough and debris-laden environments.

Traction: Pneumatic tires offer superior grip on soft and uneven surfaces, enhancing maneuverability.

Stability: All tire types are designed to ensure stability, crucial for safe lifting and handling of heavy loads.

Maintenance: Solid tires require the least maintenance, followed by foam-filled tires. Pneumatic tires need regular air pressure checks and repairs.

Selecting the right tires for Terex telehandlers involves considering the specific application requirements and the operating conditions. Solid tires are the best choice for harsh environments, while pneumatic tires are preferred for their comfort and traction in more forgiving terrains. Foam-filled tires offer a balance between durability and ride comfort.
