yeah, i split this from the ever so informative Dexter Trailer thread being that it seemed irrelevant to the topic it was originally posted in.

Good thing they are solid rubber.

I figured since I was at the JY with the trailer making it work, this just happened to be something I saw.

Seemed right at the time. :?

If you didnt know: those are like forklift tires. They are solid rubber. Just for the occasion.

the larger equipment with tires that are not solid are filled with water to increase the stability of the machine along with making it easy to find leaks :wink:

Amazing. Would probably cost a fortune to fill it with fix a flat.

believe it or not but a lot of construction equitment oil changes are done on site with holes in the ground for drain pans and then they cover it up.

Yeah, forklifts NORMALLY have solid rubber tires because they weight about 8klbs themselves, but can lift up to about 6-11k. Thats alot of weight for some pneumatic tires. :P
