July 7, 2008 • Gehl Company, West Bend, Wis., has introduced a new solid rubber tire option available for Gehl DL Series and RS Series telescopic handlers. These single-aperture tires have many advantages over standard pneumatic and foam-filled tires, according to Gehl. The solid rubber tire will not puncture, blow out or go flat, thus reducing down time and increasing productivity on the jobsite. Solid rubber tires last up to four times as long as standard pneumatic and foam-filled tires, resulting in a long-lasting return on investment, the company said.

In addition, key benefits and features of the new solid rubber tires include extra large tapered lugs for enhanced traction and maximum wear life, long-wearing tread compound that resists cutting and chunking, stability on improved and unimproved surfaces, and single-aperture holes, which provide shock absorption for a more comfortable ride.

 

The solid rubber tires are available for purchase immediately for Gehl DL11 and DL12 telescopic handlers. They will become available soon for all RS Series and DL Series telescopic handlers.
