Solideal has introduced the new Solidair SKS solid tyres, which are designed to eliminate flats in rough applications and improve standards of comfort for machine operators.

A company spokesman said, "The economics of this tyre and wheel solution are a big improvement over many other products due to the overall low cost per hour. The aperture design improves comfort for all skid steer applications by +40%.

"The unique side wall design of the SolidAir SKS provides a smoother ride for the driver and the equipment due to the increased vertical deflection."

The SolidAir SKS is suitable for skid steer loaders used in severe duty environments and will perform well in harsh industrial environments where punctures can be a recurrent problem, the spokesman added.
