PNEUMATIC TYRES
Pneumatic air-filled tyres are normally fitted to larger machines and side loaders, often because pneumatic tyres provide much more cushioning/suspension than solid tyres. Pneumatic tyres are air filled like normal car tyres for example, and often require an inner tube and tyre flap to keep them inflated. Some manufacturers supply the tyre, inner tube and a flap in a ‘set’ as standard. Some of the larger tyre sizes have to be pneumatic as a solid tyre would simply be too heavy for the machine to move.
