Gehl Excavator Tracks and Undercarriage Parts

Skid steers are versatile machines designed for maneuverability in tight spaces. Their tires are robust and engineered to endure the rigors of rough terrain and heavy-duty work environments. Key features include:

1. Tread Design: Typically, skid steer tires have a deep, aggressive tread pattern. This design enhances superior traction on uneven surfaces, such as dirt, mud, gravel, and even snow. The right tread pattern ensures stability and performance across varying terrain conditions.
2. Durability: These steer tires are constructed from tough materials like reinforced rubber and durable compounds to resist punctures, cuts, and wear from abrasive surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, and debris-filled environments.
3. Variety: Skid steer tires come in various types:
   • Pneumatic (Air-Filled): These provide a cushioned, smooth ride and good traction but are susceptible to punctures on job sites with sharp debris.
   • Solid Skid Steer Tires: Maintenance-free and puncture-proof, offering longevity and minimal downtime but less comfort on hard surfaces.
   • Foam-Filled: Combines the durability of solid tires with some shock absorption for improved machine performance.

Telehandlers, or telescopic handlers, are known for their ability to lift heavy loads to high elevations. Their tires are specialized to support these capabilities and ensure stability on construction sites and rough terrains. Key features include:

1. Size and Construction: Telehandler tires are large and robust, designed to bear heavy loads and provide stability during lifting operations on various surfaces from concrete to uneven terrain.
2. Tread Patterns: The tread design varies based on usage:

   Variety: Skid steer tires come in various types:

   • All-Terrain: Suitable for both on- and off-road applications, with a moderate tread depth for traction and stability across different surfaces.
   • Rough Terrain: Deeper treads for enhanced grip on uneven, soft, or muddy surfaces encountered on construction sites, providing superior traction in challenging conditions.
3. Material and Build: Similar to skid steer tires, telehandler tires are made from durable rubber compounds and may feature reinforced sidewalls to withstand impacts and abrasions from debris, reducing machine downtime.
