Skid Steer Tires
Skid steer loaders are among the most helpful heavy machines one can have when it comes to dealing with a worksite job. Their relatively small size should not mislead you- these vehicles are as versatile and time-saving as their bigger substitutes. Most of them are designed in a way that allows you to attach many different kinds of tools (attachments) to their front and sometimes backside, depending on the task they are involved in. With a skid steer you can achieve a lot- it lets you easily move heavy loads, dig holes and perfectly clean the area around the jobsite. Because of their size the machines are capable of reaching places that are impossible to gain for other vehicles.
A skid steer is definitely a profitable investment to make, but in order to keep it in good working condition you should follow some rules like cleaning the machine after work, changing the oil on regular basis, inspecting the engine and many others. One of the most important components related to the maintenance of the vehicle is paying attention to its tires, especially when it comes to choosing the correct type and the right dealer (seller). McLaren’s tires are developed with semi-pneumatic technology, which includes the usage of three layers of rubber compound, as well as great number of relief holes. The purpose of the holes is to absorb shock while operating. These tires provide both stability and comfort, which are equally important for proper and effective operation of your skid steer loader.
