Hytex AirBoss adds silica to new segmented tyre system

Rotherham, UK - Hytex AirBoss has added silica to its new segmented tyre system for industrial vehicles which it claims will reduce the migration of cracking and increase the life of segments.

Hytex AirBoss, the trading name of Rotherham-based Hytex Mouldings Ltd, said its new tyre system was particularly suited to the severe conditions such as demolition sites, metal recycling yards and high temperatures or corrosive areas.

“The biggest advantage of adopting an AirBoss tyre system is that, unlike current tyre options, if a segment does become damaged beyond repair the operator can safely unscrew the attaching bolt and replace the segment. The vehicle can then continue without costly downtime or callout charges,” the firm said in a statement.

The segmented tyre system contains air gaps that act as shock absorbers which reduce vibration, Hytex AirBoss said.
