Solid tyres on rims are the ideal solution, if not the only solution, for the majority of scrap yard applications when it comes to tyre problems. From skid steers to material material handler handlers to the largest front-end loaders, solid tyres are a very integral part of the facility’s day-to-day business and are a huge factor in productivity and overall cost of operation.

Due to the abusive environment that tyres are exposed to in scrap yards, operators have found that SETCO Solid Tyres are really the only option. With SETCO solid tyres, fear of premature failures is gone. SETCO front end loader tyres,forklift tyres and skid steer tyres will all reduce the cost per hour or per ton in a scrap yard operation. SETCO solid tyres also have more usable rubber so the cost per inch of rubber expense is actually lower even though the price of the solid rubber tyre may be higher.

Many believe than in order to use solid tyres on rims they must sacrifice in other areas such as operator comfort and wear and tear on machinery. This perception is untrue. Pioneers in the initial concept and design, SETCO Solid Tyres continually searches for newer, more innovative ways of not only solving tyre problems in abusive scrap yard applications but by providing a solid tyre that offer some creature comforts as well.

With the advancement of SETCO’s newest design, “The Air Ride Tyre”, operators find that the ride is quite acceptable. In many instances, SETCO solid tyres weigh less than the combination of foam filled tyres and OE wheels so there is no need for extra maintenance concerns. SETCO Solid Tyres offers a variety of styles and tyre tread design, customized for individual applications.
