Solid wheels on telehandler

[daveydiesel1]

Was watchin barnwood builders other mornin and noticed they had a jcb hired with solid wheels. Obviously it wouldnt be as comfortable as tyres with air but would they not be good job as no punctures,could regrove them. What price are they? Any1 runnin them?

Once saw a fork truck on a farm on solids, was only two wheel drive, if they got a wheel in a pothole it could spin the tyre on the rim, I'd imaging the more it happened it would wear the tyre where it gripped the rim and make it worse.

Having said that I believe the local timber firms sideloaders ran on solids.

Big Tyres can foam fill pneumatic tyres, expect there are other companies can do the the same

Tyre Foam Filling

Tyre Foam Filling allows you to puncture-proof pneumatic tyres. Foam filled tyres cannot be punctured, avoiding costly downtime and tyre replacements.

Is ther much price difference? Take it ye could basicly run them to the rim if your on hard surface

A 22.5 super single on 8 stud ag rims will run on Carraro hubs as per Matbro, etc, ok.

I don’t think they fit on the standard rim. The ride comfort is terrible and they cost about 2k per tyre.

No they are awfull things! Ruff as and shakes machines to bits. To be Avoided at all costs unless on flat concrete in waste industries.

Did you put them on before roading it over to me this afternoon? I didnt get back to yard today so no idea if you got there with it!

@mogman you still got plenty of aircraft tug wheels

I got there with it, perhaps it will have turned into a Manitou by morning....

Absolutely agree with above. I have 2 JCB 550-80’s running on them in waste transfer stations. Wastemaster spec so drivetrain, gearbox etc are different from the standard machine, only 3 speed box and max 20kph to suit these wheels. They don’t move off site so ideal for the job but no use on a farm.

We had a Cat IT 38 on hire on the compost for a while on solids .It was ok on the concrete but useless off it as trying to load the bucket the tyre's did not flex and kept a narrow profile and spun/ sunk and soon clogged up we think it may have been a ex steelworks machine

Yes I have
this is what I did to my Manitou




had to let a bit of wind out as they had 145 psi ? in them, probably got 10 psi now but as they are 18 ply even with 4 tonnes out front they don’t flex
