Telescopic Handler Tires: Solid vs Foam Filled
Telescopic handlers, also known as telehandlers or telescoping forklifts, need to operate in a variety of conditions. Some of these conditions can be brutal on a tire, often leading to punctures. When you are on a job site, the last thing you want to do is delay your team as you deal with costly and time-consuming tire repairs.
There are two popular options for preventing telescopic handler tire punctures and flat tires: (1) foam-filled pneumatic telescopic handler tires and (2) solid telescopic handler tires. In this blog, we'll go over the differences between foam filled telescopic handler tires and solid telescopic handler tires so that you'll be able to decide which style of telescopic handler tire is best for your telescopic handler.
Foam-Filled Telescopic Handler Tires
Foam-filled telescopic handler tires are conventional pneumatic/air filled telescopic handler tires that have been filled with foam instead of air. This means that a puncture does not cause an immediate loss of filler. With no immediate loss of filler, your tire does not instantly go flat, and your telescopic handler stays on the job, saving you time and money.
This added piece of mind does not come without a cost, however. Foam filled telescopic handler tires adds a lot of weight to the drivetrain of your telescopic handler. This added weight puts more stress on your telescopic handler and can result in greater wear and tear on the machine. In addition to greater maintenance costs, you'll also increase the chance that your telescopic handler breaks down when you need it.
The added weight of the tires will also have an effect on traction as well. Although the added weight may increase traction on some surfaces, often it will do the opposite because in addition to getting heavier, foam-filled telescopic handler tires are also much stiffer. Operators of telescopic handler with foam-filled tires often report decreased traction. The extra stiffness also results in a rougher ride for those operators, which could be a big problem depending on the terrain that your telescopic handler operates on.
One other downside to foam-filled telescopic handler tires comes when it is time to buy and replace them. Foam telescopic handler tires take a long time to fill because the tires often need to be sent out to be filled. Also, telescopic handler foam filled tires must be cut off the rim when it is time to change them. All of this results in increased downtime for your telescopic handler when the tires are being replaced.
Solid Telescopic Handler Tires
Solid telescopic handler tires are the second option to preventing flat tires. As the name says, they are a solid rubber tire, so they do not ever go flat. Although solid telescopic handler tires do add some extra weight to the machine compared to pneumatic/air-filled tires, they add much less weight than foam-filled telescopic handler tires do. This gives you the puncture resistance you want with less wear and tear on your telescopic handler machine.
One downside to solid telescopic handler tires is that they can be more expensive to purchase up front compared to foam-filled telescopic handler tires, solid telescopic handler tires often offer better wear life, which means they will last longer and you won’t need to replace them as quickly.
Segmented Solid Telescopic Handler Tires
Another option for a solid telescopic handler tire are segmented solid telescopic handler tires from Evolution Wheel. Their EWRS-TH series of segmented solid telescopic handler tires provide an even greater cost saving benefit than any other telescopic handler tire on the market. Here’s why!
Evolution Wheel’s EWRS-TH series of segmented solid telescopic handler tires allow you to replace a single section of the tire, without even removing the tire from the telescopic handler. This means that using this type of solid telescopic handler tire will dramatically decrease the downtime of your machine compared to other tire choices. Plus changing a small segment on your entire tire is MUCH cheaper than replacing the entire telescopic handler tire. You can even buy a segment that matches your current tread depth so you’re not dealing with uneven treads.
But won’t Evolution Wheel’s segmented solid telescopic handler tires be rough to drive on? Like foam-filled telescopic handler tires, solid telescopic handler tires can sometimes result in a stiffer ride and reduced traction. To deal with this downside, Evolution Wheel’s segmented solid telescopic handler tires have aperture holes built into them that both absorb the shock and help improve traction. Evolution Wheel also uses a high quality rubber compound which means that you can expect anywhere between 3 to 5 times the wear life compared to a premium pneumatic/air filled telescopic handler tire.
Conclusion
Evolution Wheel has a range of premium segmented solid telescopic handler tires for a wide variety of applications. Optimizing the benefits of solid telescopic handler tires means matching the tire design to the needs of your equipment.
