Prepare your Equipment for Spring

Spring is a season that symbolizes transition. As the winter weather begins to die down and warmer sunnier days lie ahead, now is a great time to make changes and upgrades. By clearing away the old, you can make room to welcome new and better things into your life.

At Industrial Tire, we specialize in providing top-quality material handling and construction tires and tracks for small to medium-duty equipment. From small pallet jacks to forklifts, loaders, and skid steers, we offer tailored solutions for landscapers, construction workers, and outdoor professionals navigating the muddy challenges of the Spring season.

In this post, we’ll explore how over-the-tire track attachments can revolutionize your operations this Spring. Additionally, we’ll discuss the importance of retiring equipment that no longer meets performance standards, paving the way for enhanced productivity and efficiency.

Clear away the oldĀ 

As you gear up for the Spring season, it’s crucial to assess the condition of your equipment. Outdated or worn-out machinery can hurt productivity and compromise safety. By retiring inefficient equipment and investing in advanced solutions, you can elevate performance levels.

Make room for new

Spring showers bring muddy terrain, posing significant challenges for equipment operators. Our over-the-tire track attachments offer unparalleled traction and stability, allowing you to maneuver through rugged landscapes with ease. Whether you’re hauling materials on a construction site or navigating uneven terrain during landscaping projects, our tracks ensure optimal performance and safety, even in the most demanding conditions.

Here are more advantages you will get out of using Over-the-tire track attachments:

  • Solid traction: track systems make a huge difference when it comes to working on steep hills and carrying heavy loads.
  • Get through any terrain: If you find yourself in terrains with water streams, swamps, steep hills, etc. Over-the-tire tracks can help provide optimal stability. In addition, they can assist with flotation while crossing areas in water.
  • Keep landscape in better condition: track systems have low disturbance on the ground, helping preserve soft or easily damageable surfaces like grass or wet soil in the Spring.

Protect tracks from the sun

With more sunshine coming our way, it is important to note that rubber tracks can become damaged from too much sun exposure. In order to keep your tracks in their best condition, be sure to follow these tips:

  • When not using the machine for prolonged periods of time, park the machine inside or in the shade.
  • If parking the machine or inside the shade is not possible, cover the tracks with a tarp.
  • When the machine is stored for a long period of time, remove the tracks if possible, and store them on their side in a cool dry environment.
  • If the tracks are left on the machine during storage, operate the machine at least once every 2 weeks for about 5 minutes to maintain track flexibility.
