Tire Flat-Proofing - FAQ
Q: Can any pneumatic tire be filled?
A: Yes, if it's in good working condition.
Q: Are any special rims needed?
A: No. Tires are mounted on standard rims.
Q: Do tire dimensions change with flatproofing?
A: No. Vehicle modification is unnecessary.
Q: Does the tire pressure change after flatproofing?
A: No. In fact, flat-proofing maintains proper inflation which results in cooler running and makes tires last longer.
Q: What about the added weight of flatproofing?
A: The extra ballast actually provides better traction and stability.
Q: WIll flatproofing increase the carrying capacity of the tire?
A: No. The capacity is the same as with air inflation. Tires are filled to the maximum rated inflation pressure.
Q: Can a flatproffed tire be recapped and the wheel be reused?
A: Yes, as long as neither is damaged.
Q: What are the real savings with flatproofing?
A: Flat tires add up! There's the cost of repairing and replacing them and the money you lose in employee and equipment down time. If it takes just one hour to fix a flat, you'll save an hour's pay for the equipment operator, plus equipment costs and wages for every other employee whose work has been interupted. And in addition, add in the cost of lost productivity.
No matter what your application, flatproofing your tires means the end to expensive tire-related costs, premature tire failure and down time. Flat proof just one peice of your equipment today and we guarantee you will realize savings almost immediately.
