Tires represent the highest operating cost after fuel so it’s imperative to understand the tyre related cost per hour (CPH).

While the use of solid tires in the material handling segment is well accepted, the use of solid tires in construction and other specialized equipment is a relatively a new phenomenon. However, this has been gaining acceptance as the benefits become apparent. Equipment downtime caused by flat tires/punctures is a common problem faced by operators especially on heavily used machines such as skid steer loaders, wheel loaders & telehandlers.

Trident has developed a range of Special Purpose Solid Tires specifically designed for industrial, construction & mining applications where machines are generally fitted with pneumatic tires and downtime is often due to tire damage/failure & fast wear.

Besides being 100% puncture proof & maintenance free, solid tires have a lifespan of three to five times than that of conventional pneumatic tires. The zero man & machine downtime along with the added safety of no blowouts results in low total cost of ownership (TCO).
