Telehandlers Vs Solid Tires

Telehandlers are a versatile and multifunctional machine that combines the lifting capability of forklift trucks, and the reach and elevation of aerial platforms (PLE) thanks to its telescopic boom.

Solid Telehandler Tires. As any kind of solid tires, Solid telehandler tires are made entirely of a consistent rubber compound. This means there’s no air or foam to leak out of the tire no matter what type of damage the tire gets. These tires have the highest up-front cost and are the longest-lasting of the different types of telehandler tires.

We know that may consider the initial price, but don’t let it tell you the whole solid tire story. Solid tires never flatten under any circumstance, which mean they can handle cuts and chunking without compromising the integrity of the tire and eliminates costly tire-induced downtime.

Wear life for solid telehandler tires is estimated up to three times more compared to foam filled telehandler tires, which often results in them having the lowest total cost of ownership.

Increased stability also occurs with solid telehandler tires because the rubber compresses at a consistent and predictable rate when it’s loaded. This means operators will have more control over the loads they’re carrying at extended reaches. Another benefit of solid construction is that the tires require very little maintenance—for example, there’s no need to monitor air pressure.

The cons of solid tires are that their weight and rigid footprint don’t translate as well to soft surfaces as other types of tires. Some operators find them comparatively harsh, although others appreciate the stability they provide.

Telehandler Main Applications:
- Construction & Building
- Recycle & Steel mill
- Mining Equipment
- Manufacturing & Machine tools

Because the telehandler applications are often on unstable terrains, the use of tires with high stability is a must.
