Best Skid Steer Tires for Barn Cleaning
Skid steer loaders are the perfect tool for the job when it comes time to clean out a barn. Any dairy farmer can tell you that cleaning out a dairy barn is not fun. Skid steers can efficiently and easily maneuver in a barn setting and make the entire job must easier to do. Using the right tires on your skid steer can also make the world of difference and allow you to get the job done even more efficiently and more conformably.
The EWRS-HS is designed to provide the smoothest ride possible. Built as a perfectly round rolling circle it can skid without the bounce that a pneumatic tire has. It is flexible, unlike other solid skid steer tires, to maximize that smooth ride you are looking for when carrying loads. These tires are also made for longevity. EWRS-HS have a 52/32" tread depth and a tread pattern that maximizes surface area without sacrificing traction, allowing them to last 3-5 times longer than traditional pneumatic skid steer tires.
A PERFECT ROLLING CIRCLE
The EWRS-HS is also a perfectly round rolling circle. This creates an extremely smooth ride for the operator limiting driver fatigue. The core geometry of the tire allows the tire to compress similarly to a pneumatic, while the void space in the tread provides superior traction.
We designed the unique tread pattern this way with all hard surfaces in mind. Using the wrong tires in these types of applications will deteriorate the rubber and cause them to go flat very quickly.
EWRS-HS SERIES
The EWRS-HS product series of hard surface skid steer tires were designed to meet the needs of severe duty customers working on hard surfaces and burning through tires daily.
By creating a unique tread design that increases the surface area in contact with the ground, our EWRS-HS product series provides unmatched wear life on concrete and asphalt surfaces. Customers can expect a 30-40% increase in wear life over our ERWS-AT series product line, further reducing cost/hr and increasing their machine ROI.
The tread pattern is one thing, but tread depth is another. To make the new EWRS-HS product series meet the Evolution Wheel standard we gave it the most tread depth of any hard surface tire on the market. By maintaining a 52/32nd tread depth, Evolution Wheel is raising the bar in hard surface applications.
With serviceable tire sections, the need for a service truck, specialized technicians, and press-on machines is all but eliminated. We have reduced your service tooling down to only a 3/4" wrench in your operator's back pocket and repair parts are readily available at your nearest onsite storage container or in the toolbox of your pickup.
