JLG Telehandler Tires

Solid Tires

Solid tires are constructed from durable rubber compounds and are completely puncture-proof, making them ideal for rugged and demanding applications. They offer a long service life and are suited for environments where sharp objects or debris could cause frequent punctures.

Applications:

Construction Sites: Where sharp debris, nails, and rough terrain are common.
Industrial Settings: Warehouses and factories where durability and minimal maintenance are required.
Outdoor Rough Terrain: Areas with sharp rocks, scrap metal, and other hazardous materials.

Pneumatic Tires

Pneumatic tires are air-filled and provide excellent traction and shock absorption, making them ideal for uneven terrain and applications requiring smoother rides. They are typically used in environments where comfort and maneuverability are prioritized.

Applications:

Agriculture: Farms and fields where softer ground and variable terrain are common.
Outdoor General Construction: Sites requiring mobility and comfort over uneven surfaces.
Road Work: Jobs that involve travel over paved and unpaved roads.

Common Sizes and Models:

JLG Telehandlers:

G5-18A: 12x16.5
G6-42A: 14.00x24
G10-55A: 17.5x25

Solid Tires Key Features:

Durability: Resistant to punctures and damage, reducing downtime.
Maintenance-Free: No need for air pressure checks or repairs.
Load Capacity: Higher load-bearing capacity due to solid construction.

Pneumatic Tires:

Comfort: Better shock absorption provides a smoother ride for operators.
Traction: Superior grip on uneven and soft surfaces.
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of terrains and conditions.

Choosing between solid and pneumatic tires for JLG equipment depends on the specific job requirements and the operating environment. Solid tires are preferred for harsh, debris-laden sites where durability is crucial, while pneumatic tires are favored for their comfort and superior traction in varied terrains.
