Skid Steer Loader Tyres

Role of Skid Steer Loader in the industry

A skid steer loader is a compact, highly manoeuvrable machine used extensively in construction work for lifting, grading, demolition support and material transport in confined areas. Its ability to pivot within its own footprint enables it to operate where larger machines such as Backhoe loaders and wheeled excavators cannot function efficiently. Because skid steer loaders rely on continuous turning, tight manoeuvring and heavy contact with abrasive surfaces, tyres such as the M-SKID2 & M-SKID4 shown on the machine page provide the stability, durability and traction needed to maintain consistent operational performance.

Types of Tyres Used in Skid Loaders

Machines using Skid Steer Loader Tyres require tread patterns and sidewall constructions that cope with aggressive skid-turning, edge loading and frequent directional changes encountered in construction work. These tyres must combine strong lateral support, reinforced casings and predictable ground engagement, ensuring stability when working alongside Backhoe loaders or wheeled excavators across surfaces ranging from compacted soil to concrete or gravel.

Tyre Requirements for Reliable Performance

Tyres fitted to skid steer loaders must withstand high lateral forces from pivoting, resist abrasion caused by hard surfaces and maintain structural rigidity under variable lifting or carrying loads. They require a durable compound formulated for wear resistance, a casing that limits deformation during sharp turns and a footprint that maintains stable contact on uneven or compacted ground. Reliable traction, heat resistance and uniform pressure distribution are essential to support safe, uninterrupted operation in demanding construction environments.
