Agricultural trailer solid tires are subject to a lot of loads and pressures in daily use, especially in agricultural operating environments, where the working conditions of tires are usually harsh. In order to ensure that the tires can maintain good performance for a long time and extend their service life, regular maintenance and care measures are essential. Reasonable maintenance can not only reduce the occurrence of failures, but also improve the working efficiency of the trailer and reduce unnecessary repair costs.
Regularly checking the appearance of the tires is the most basic maintenance work. With long-term use, cracks, wear or other damage may appear on the surface of the tires. Although solid tires are not easily punctured like pneumatic tires, as the use time increases, the surface of the tires may be damaged by friction or environmental factors. Checking whether the tires have obvious damage, especially cracks and dents that affect the tire structure, is the key to preventing further damage. When problems are found, timely measures should be taken and damaged tires should be replaced if necessary.
Agricultural trailers often work in complex environments such as mud, grass, and sand, and dirt, weeds and other foreign objects are easily accumulated on the tires. These dirt not only increase the wear of the tires, but may also affect their traction and stability. Therefore, after each use, the tire surface should be cleaned, especially the part where the tire contacts the ground. When cleaning, be careful to avoid using too strong detergents to avoid damaging the material of the tire. Simple water washing and brushing usually achieve good results.
In addition to appearance inspection and cleaning, regular inspection of the operating temperature of the tire is also an effective maintenance measure. Although solid tires are not as prone to overheating due to air pressure problems as pneumatic tires, the operating temperature of the tire may rise under long-term heavy-load operation. Excessive temperature will accelerate the aging of the tire and shorten its service life. When the agricultural trailer is working, it should avoid long-term continuous heavy-load operation. It can stop in time to let the tire dissipate heat, thereby extending its service life.
Another maintenance measure worth noting is the balance and alignment check of the tire. Long-term use may cause uneven wear of the tire, which will not only affect the stability and traction of the trailer, but also may cause premature damage to the tire. In order to maintain the balance and good driving performance of the tire, the agricultural trailer should regularly check the centering of the tire and adjust the axle. If the tire shows obvious eccentric wear or uneven wear, the trailer load or axle may need to be adjusted.
During use, reasonable load management is also an important factor in ensuring the performance and service life of agricultural trailer solid tires. Excessive loads will increase the burden on the tires, accelerate their wear, and may even cause tire rupture or structural damage.
The storage conditions of the tires also directly affect their service life. If the agricultural trailer is not used for a long time, the tires should be stored in a dry, ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature environment. Excessive exposure to the sun or long-term exposure to high temperatures will easily age the tire material, causing hardening or cracking, which will affect its performance.
