When it comes to choosing the right tires for your skid steer loader, solid skid steer tires are clearly the most effective option. Solid skid steer tires outperform pneumatic tires when it comes to traction, durability, serviceability, and in some brands. This ensures that the skid steer operator has a smooth, comfortable ride.
While choosing the right type of solid skid steer tire is critical, it is just as critical to choose the right solid skid steer tire tread pattern. This is to best suit the type of terrain your equipment will drive on.
By optimizing the tread pattern of your solid skid steer tires, you can be sure you get maximum performance and longevity from your tires. Driving on the wrong tread pattern for your jobsite terrain can diminish skid steer performance. This can also lead to excess wear and tear on your solid skid steer tires. This leads to higher costs/hr and a lower ROI.
Fortunately, Evolution Wheel's EWRS Solid Tire Series has two distinctive solid skid steer tire tread pattern options specifically designed for all terrain or hard surfaces. By knowing which tread pattern is best suited for your jobsite terrain, you can choose the right solid skid steer tire tread for your jobsite needs.
EWRS-AT Solid Skid Steer Tire Series
Evolution Wheel EWRS-AT solid skid steer tires have an All Terrain (AT) tread pattern. The AT Series is best suited to jobsites where the ground's surface is composed of mud, rock, and loose dirt. This includes construction sites, rock quarries, demolition sites and other general applications.
The EWRS-AT Solid Skid Steer Tire Series offers remarkable traction when driving on uneven or muddy ground. These tires have the largest tread lugs in the industry. This reduces the overall number of necessary lugs and eliminates the need for wear bars typical of similar tires on the market.
This design leads to large voids in the tread pattern, which leads to improved traction on soft terrain. This tread also makes removing debris from the jobsite a breeze. Solid tires from the EWRS-AT Series provide a comfortable ride over soft, loose, and bumpy surfaces.
EWRS-HS Solid Skid Steer Tire Series
While the EWRS-AT Solid Skid Steer Tire Series tread pattern enables skid steer loaders to perform excellently on soft terrain, tires with this tread will wear down too quickly on harder surfaces. That's why Evolution Wheel offers the EWRS-HS Solid Skid Steer Tire Series, designed for Hard Surface (HS) applications like asphalt, concrete, and pavement.
The HS Series of solid tires has a unique tread pattern. This increases how much of the tire's surface area is in contact with the ground thereby reducing ground pressure and tread wear. This solid tire tread provides unmatched wear life on hard surfaces.
The HS Series also outperforms the competition by having more tread depth than any other hard surface solid tire that is available on the market. If you're used to burning through tires due to hard surfaces wear and tear, you will love these tires' durability. The HS Series tread pattern can increase tire wear life by 30%-40% on hard surfaces. This innovation reduces cost/hr and increases ROI, making it a smart choice for any hard surface application.
Regardless of which tread pattern best suits your needs, you'll find that both series of EWRS solid tires are easy to service and maintain. Thanks to serviceable tire sections, repairs can be done easily and on-site. All you need is a 3/4" wrench and repair parts, which can easily be kept in an onsite storage container, truck box, or toolbox. This unique design eliminates the need for skilled service technicians and specialized equipment. This also means less downtime for workers, and leads to increased productivity on the jobsite.
