Why go Airless
Our goal with the EWRS-PIVOT airless pivot tires is to minimize tire maintenance in the field. By eliminating flats in the field and through the superior design and the materials that we use to build the EWRS-PIVOT, we have achieved this. We know that farmers are extremely busy folk, and we want to minimize the time you spend on such a preventable issue so you can spend more time on more important tasks.
A No-Flat Pivot Tire
The EWRS-PIVOT irrigation pivot tires are no-flat tires.
Flat tires out in the field are a headache. They fill with water and mud, cause gearbox damage, and downtime on the system. This affects crop yield, not to mention the work of hauling off the filled pneumatic pivot tire off the field. Using an airless pivot tire, you eliminate the possibility of flats.
A common problem with airless tires is the fact that they often are too stiff which causes strain on the gearbox. The EWRS-PIVOT was designed to act as a pneumatic Pivot tire. It uses what we call cores, which are open holes through the rubber that compress when pressure is applied to the tire. This allows the tire to compress like pneumatic and ease the load on the driving components, essentially acting as a pneumatic.
