Telehandler Tires

Stable footing at full reach.

A telehandler tire carries more than the machine's weight. At full extension the load shifts forward and the front tires take far more than the plate suggests, so the wrong tire shows up as instability rather than wear. We fit solid, foam-filled, and pneumatic on site.

LOAD RATING AND REACH

Knowing your machine

Why telehandler tires are rated higher

Telehandler tires carry a ply rating and load index that account for forward weight transfer at extension. Speccing to the machine's static weight rather than its loaded-at-reach weight is the most common mistake we correct. Match the data plate, not the tire that fits the rim.

Uneven wear tells you something

Front tires wear faster than rears, and outside shoulders faster than centers on machines that spend their hours at reach. Inspect before rotating, or you replace four tires when two were needed.

FITTED ON-SITE

The machine stays on the job

Telehandlers are difficult and expensive to trailer, which is exactly why on-site tire installation matters more here than on smaller equipment. Our trucks bring the tools and the tires to your site, and the machine goes back to work the same visit.

TELEHANDLER TIRE QUESTIONS WE HEAR MOST

FAQs

What tires do telehandlers use?
Telehandlers use solid, foam-filled, or pneumatic tires with a load rating that accounts for weight transfer at boom extension. Foam-filled is the most common choice on construction sites because it keeps the original tread while removing puncture risk. Solid suits high-debris yards and plants.
Should telehandler tires be foam-filled?
Foam-filling makes sense on any telehandler working ground with puncture risk, which covers most construction and demolition sites. It keeps the tread pattern the machine was specified with and adds weight low in the wheel. On soft agricultural ground where flotation matters, a pneumatic tire is usually the better fit.
How do I know what load rating my telehandler tires need?
Use the rating listed on the machine's data plate rather than the rating of the tire currently fitted. The plate accounts for load at full extension, which is where the front tires see their real maximum. Call 770.446.6467 with the make and model and we will confirm the correct specification.
Can you fit telehandler tires on-site?
Yes. Our trucks carry the press and tooling to your yard or jobsite, so the telehandler does not need to be trailered. Most jobs are completed in a single visit and we remove the old tires for EPD-compliant disposal.
