OTR Engineered Solutions has added a new 31x10-20 (10-16.5) size to its SolidBoss smooth skid-loader tire lineup, expanding flat-free tire options for skid steer operators working in demanding environments.
The new assembly is designed for hard-surface applications, including demolition, recycling, scrap and waste handling operations where tire failures can lead to increased maintenance and downtime.
The SolidBoss product line uses a semi-pneumatic design that eliminates flats while incorporating cushioning apertures intended to absorb shock and provide a smoother ride than traditional solid tires.
"The addition of the 31x10-20 size allows us to accommodate an even wider range of skid steers," said Steve Jensen, VP national accounts at OTR Engineered Solutions. "Customers have consistently asked for more flat-free options in this size category, and we're excited to bring the proven durability and ride quality of SolidBoss smooth tires to even more machines and applications."
According to OTR, the tires are manufactured with proprietary rubber compounds designed to resist chunking, tearing and slicing damage commonly encountered in severe-duty applications. The company said the design is intended to improve service life and reduce maintenance requirements.
The new tire assembly includes an 8 on 8.0 bolt pattern, which OTR identified as the most widely used configuration in the industry.
OTR Engineered Solutions provides off-the-road tire, wheel and track solutions for OEM and aftermarket customers in industries including construction, agriculture, forestry, mining and material handling, with operations spanning more than 30 facilities and warehouse locations in North America, Europe and Asia.
