OTR Expands SolidBoss Tire Line With New Skid Steer Size

OTR Engineered Solutions has expanded its SolidBoss smooth skid-loader tire lineup with the addition of a new 31x10-20 (10-16.5) tire assembly designed for severe-duty applications.

The new size broadens the company's flat-free tire offerings for skid steers operating on abrasive surfaces and in environments where tire damage and equipment downtime can affect productivity. According to OTR, the tire is intended for use in applications including demolition sites, recycling facilities, scrap yards and waste handling operations.

SolidBoss smooth tire assemblies feature a semi-pneumatic design that eliminates flats while incorporating cushioning apertures intended to absorb shock and improve ride quality.

"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."

OTR said the tires use proprietary rubber compounds engineered to resist chunking, tearing and slicing damage that can occur in severe-duty environments. The company noted that the design is intended to provide longer service life, reduce maintenance requirements and improve equipment uptime.

The new tire assembly features an 8 on 8.0 bolt pattern and is available through OTR's distribution network and online platform.

OTR Engineered Solutions manufactures off-the-road tire, wheel and track solutions for original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket customers across several industries, including construction, agriculture, forestry, mining and material handling.
