PU Foam-Filled Tires are widely used on articulated and telescopic boom lifts. These tires consist of a pneumatic outer tire, a wheel hub, and an inner polyurethane foam filling. They combine the comfort of a pneumatic tire with the durability of a solid tire, making them an ideal tire for aerial work equipment.
Structural Design Advantages: Combining Elasticity and Pressure Resistance
PU Foam-Filled Tires consist of three components: an outer pneumatic tire, an inner metal rim, and a core of polyurethane foam filling. Compared to traditional pneumatic tires, this unique structure not only improves durability and safety, but also greatly optimizes the adaptability of industrial equipment to challenging working conditions.
No Need to Inflate, Eliminate the Risk of Flats: PU Foam-Filled Tires are completely filled with high-density polyurethane foam, completely eliminating the air-filled structure of traditional tires. This design eliminates the need for concerns about tire pressure fluctuations, regular refilling, or maintenance, effectively eliminating the risk of blowouts and flats caused by valve aging and insufficient air pressure. For aerial work equipment operating for extended periods, this "maintenance-free" design significantly reduces the likelihood of unplanned downtime, saving labor and operating costs, and is therefore extremely valuable.
Puncture- and blow-proof tire design ensures continuous operational safety: Polyurethane foam's exceptional density and pressure resistance prevent sudden pressure loss or blowouts even when punctured by objects such as nails, glass fragments, or sharp stones. The tire continuously supports normal equipment operation without disrupting project progress. It is particularly suitable for locations with complex ground conditions and high levels of debris, such as construction sites, airport runways, warehouses and logistics parks, and petrochemical plants. This structure effectively reduces the safety risks associated with tire damage on-site, making it an ideal choice for enhancing equipment stability and reliability.
Excellent cushioning, balancing flexibility and comfort: Although the PU Foam Filled Tire is a solid tire, the special elasticity of the polyurethane foam imparts excellent shock absorption, effectively absorbing impacts on rough terrain or in environments with frequent vibrations. Compared to traditional solid tires, this tire offers a handling feel more similar to that of a pneumatic tire, with a smoother ride and less vibration. This helps reduce equipment structural fatigue and improves operator comfort during extended periods of operation. It is widely suitable for applications requiring high levels of operator comfort, such as electric lift platforms, aerial maintenance vehicles, and warehouse forklifts.
Performance Advantages: High Wear Resistance, Strong Grip, and Low Maintenance
PU Foam-Filled Tires not only feature advanced structure but also demonstrate excellent overall performance in actual operation:
Performance Indicator | Advantage Description |
Strong Traction | Adapts to complex terrains such as gravel, mud, and slopes, preventing slippage |
Excellent Elasticity | Reduces equipment vibration and enhances the stability of aerial work platforms |
Wear Resistance | Polyurethane material has a low friction coefficient, ideal for high-frequency use |
Maintenance-Free | No need for regular tire pressure checks, significantly reduces labor inspection costs |
High Load Capacity | Robust structure, suitable for long-term, high-intensity workload operations |
Performance Advantages: High Wear Resistance, Strong Grip, and Low Maintenance
In addition to outstanding durability, safety, and comfort, PU Foam-Filled Tires also excel in environmental friendliness and customizable appearance, fully addressing the diverse cleanliness, safety, and brand identity requirements of modern industrial environments.
PU Foam-Filled Tires utilize an advanced, environmentally friendly, non-marking formula. During operation, they leave no black rubber marks, preventing contamination of indoor floors, epoxy floors, and cleanroom floors, significantly reducing cleaning frequency and maintenance costs. This feature is particularly suitable for locations with stringent cleanliness requirements, such as food processing plants, pharmaceutical production workshops, and electronic cleanrooms. This not only meets modern industrial requirements for environmental protection and sustainable development, but also helps companies obtain quality system certification and create a safer, more hygienic, and cleaner working environment.
PU Foam-Filled Tires offer a variety of color options, including gray, white, blue, orange, and green, to meet the personalized needs of customers across various industries. Companies can customize tire colors based on their brand's visual identity (VI) or product color scheme, enhancing the overall image and professionalism of their equipment. Different colors can also be used to distinguish equipment usage, operating areas, or safety levels, facilitating on-site management and scheduling, improving efficiency and safety. Color customization is not only aesthetically pleasing but also a manifestation of refined management.
We offer a variety of wheel sizes, including those commonly used for aerial work platforms (AWPs), compatible with major brands and models. More importantly, PU Foam-Filled Tires can be customized with foam fill density based on operating conditions, precisely adjusting the tire's hardness, elasticity, and load-bearing capacity. For example, high-density foam can be used to improve load-bearing capacity in heavy-duty applications, while softer foam densities can be selected for applications where comfort and vibration dampening are important. This flexible customization capability ensures that the product can achieve optimal performance in various industrial environments.
