Among your daily operations, your skid steer loader may be the most important machine. Particularly when it’s used as a yard machine, your skid steer will work on and off concrete. This is why choosing a quality bobcat tire will ensure that you have what's needed to support your machine for everything you want it to do.
Whether you are using your skid steer in a landscape supply yard, gravel and paving stone supply yard, or any other business, you need to look at what you’re expecting the machine to drive over and through on a regular basis. You may have it dig into dirt and then drive it into a warehouse. Taking bobcats on and off concrete or any hard surfaces can result in a lot of wear on bobcat tires.
Look at Hard Surface Bobcat Tires
Hard surface Bobcat tires make a difference. Your most effective option is to look at solid bobcat tires so that you don't have to worry about tire punctures. There may be all sorts of things that your skid steer operator could drive over. These include rock, nails, wood, and even metal which could puncture your Bobcat tires and increase costly downtime. It happens all the time and replacing Bobcat tires may be something that you are simply tired of having to do and pay for.
Choosing a solid Bobcat tire allows you to drive on hard surfaces better with less downtime. You don't have to worry about puncturing your Bobcat tires, which enables you to get the job done more effectively and economically.
Consider a Deeper Tread
It's also critical to look at tread depth when choosing a Bobcat tire for a yard machine. Many Bobcat tires have a relatively low tread depth, which results in shorter wear life and more frequent replacements. Low tread depth is associated with lack of traction and an increased risk of punctures and costly replacements.
Evolution Wheel fixes this problem by providing a 52/32nd tread depth. This is so you can use it in rough surface applications without worrying about insufficient tread. It will also allow your Bobcat tires to last longer so that you can focus on your operations instead of constantly replacing worn Bobcat tires.
Explore Wear Levels
Consider how often you replace your Bobcat tires due to excessive wear. Wearing out tires means more time ordering and replacing worn out Bobcat tires. This means your costs increase due to repairing or repairing Bobcat tires more often. In addition, the time your operators spend fixing or repairing tires rather than working on site, as well as the cost of your skid steer’s downtime.
Evolution Wheel offers a solid Bobcat tire that delivers longer wear life. What this means is that you’ll reduce the amount of money spent on Bobcat tires throughout the year. It will also allow you to keep the machines working in your operations for longer periods of time. This is so that you don't have to sideline a machine due to flat or worn out Bobcat tires. By avoiding flat Bobcat tires you enhance your productivity and increase your bottom line.
When your skid steer sees a lot of yard time, you need a bobcat tire tread design with increased surface area. This tread comes into contact with the ground. The EWRS-HS series of solid hard surface Bobcat tires does just that. For more information about solid Bobcat tires, give Evolution Wheel a call.
