As a function that's indispensable out in the field, a vehicle outfitted with skid tires will function optimally not only in muddy and sandy conditions but also in the snow. Here are some of the best options available for consumers in search of the perfect pair of skid tires for their machines.
These types of tires are excellent for those who intend to drive or work in off-road locations whether it is a muddy farm, quarries, sandy surfaces, mines and even in the dead of winter when snowy conditions make working outdoors a hazardous experience. DT or Dirt-Terrain solid skid steer tires are creased with deep treads so that there's a maximum amount of traction with the ground, especially when the terrain is soft as in snowy times of the year and muddy conditions. This kind of tire features a number of apertures on its sidewalls to absorb a greater percentage of shock and allow drivers or skid steer operators a smoother experience. Made using tough and highly durable rubber, DT tires are flat-proof.
Unlike DT terrain tires, turf tires are specifically built for seamless function in parks, lawns, golf courses and other landscapes with turf applications. Turf tires tend to leave a wider footprint due to how the tread is designed so as to meet the needs of decidedly more sensitive terrains such as grass. The key benefit of this type of skid tire is that it will not damage the surface on which it is being used, unlike most skid tires that can leave a larger footprint. The ground pressure is also minimal with this type of tire due to the flotation capacity of the skid steer tires.
Made using tough rubber compounds, smooth solid skid steer tires are mainly built to be used on smooth surfaces as its name suggests. Ideal for those who intend to drive on asphalt or concrete surfaces, this tire variety comes in handy in a plethora of locations including earthmoving hubs, scrapyards, transfer hotspots and demolition sites. Highly resistant to punctures, the durability of this type of skid steer tire is top-notch.
With the ability to operate on a plethora of surfaces, all-terrain solid skid steer tires work well in both on-road and off-road applications. Minimising ground pressure, all-terrain tires also have an extended life span due to the inherent versatility of the design.
Those who are looking to purchase skid tires from GRI FIT Australia or any other industrial tire service should ensure that the tires meet the operational demands of the vehicle. While different manufacturers will offer various models to suit the market, it is necessary to gauge the functionality of the tires as a cost-effective solution to your needs. It is also prudent to find a tire manufacturer that provides support services to its consumers as industrial tires require more after-sales services than commercial tires.
