What is Airboss

The segmented-tyre system comprises rubber segments individually bolted to a metal wheel rim, tailored to your vehicle or fleet of vehicles.

Damaged tyres will never halt work again

Picture this. You are using pneumatic tyres and you puncture the rubber.  Work is put on hold until either the tyre can be replaced, or even worse, a call-out arrives to make repairs.

If you were using the AirBoss system, and you managed to a rubber segment, you could keep going. Actually, you could keep going even if you damaged up to 3 or 4 segments.

With AirBoss you don’t have to put the work on hold, nor wait for a call-out vehicle to arrive. You can keep going until it is convenient to replace the damaged segments, which you can do in minutes!

The bigger our footprints, the better your handling

The AirBoss tyre system has a wider footprint than most pneumatic and foam tyres, giving you greatly improved control of their vehicles.

The big secret that foam-filled tyre manufacturers don’t want you to know

You might think foam-filled tyres are a good alternative to pneumatic tyres.  But did you know that with foam fill tyres you are doubling your weight of each wheel therefore putting enormous stress on your machine axles. With AirBoss the weight is cut dramatically and is therefore much more inline with your gear ratios.

Our segmented tyre system is comparable to the weighting of conventional tyres, so you'll never risk invalidating the warranty. In fact AirBoss tyres are a standard option for several leading manufacturers!


WHICH OF YOUR OFF-ROAD VEHICLES CAN BE FITTED WITH AIRBOSS TYRES?

The AirBoss system is the preferred alternative to pneumatic tyres that are prone to puncture. The system is typically used for heavy machinery, agricultural and construction vehicles. These include:

  • Skid steers
  • Dumpers
  • Loaders
  • Access platforms

WHERE CAN THE SYSTEM BE USED?

The AirBoss segmented tyre system can be used anywhere. It is effective in hazardous environments which can wreck normal tyres.

These environments include:

  • Demolition sites
  • Quarries
  • Landfills
  • Metal recycling yards
  • High temperature zones
  • Corrosive areas

 


HOW AIRBOSS TYRES SAVE YOU MONEY

The wheel rims are tailored to your vehicle or fleet.  After this initial investment, you don't need to buy new wheels or tyres again: just replacement rubber segments.

For a fraction of the price the of a new tyre, the segments can be purchased individually, making this a far more cost effective option in no time at all for a cost conscious company.

Once the system is purchased, it belongs to you. AirBoss provides a reponsive after sales and refurbishing service. AirBoss also offers a leasing option for cash-conscious companies or users.

AND SAVE YOU TIME ...

In the worst-case scenario, if a rubber segment is damaged.

The vehicle operator has two choices:

  • To continue using the vehicle until the end of the shift and then replace the segment.
  • To hop out of the vehicle, unscrew the segment bolt, and replace it with a new segment within minutes.

AirBoss eliminates long delays, waiting for the whole tyre to be replaced


WHY USING THESE TYRES RESOLVES THE WASTE DISPOSAL NIGHTMARE

Disposing of waste tyres, especially the size of those used by your vehicles, is a headache.

It is now illegal to send tyres (shredded or whole) to landfills for disposal.

For many companies this means hiring a council disposal truck to collect these tyres for recycling. Unfortunately, these trucks are expensive, even more so for larger tyres which occupy the most space.

We’ve even heard of some construction companies filling disposal trucks with only 100 waste tyres – what a waste of money!

Using AirBoss tyres will:

  • Cut costs by filling fewer disposal trucks with more rubber
  • Reduce the amount of rubber you need to dispose of
  • Minimise the damage you cause to the environment

Cut costs by filling fewer disposal trucks with more rubber.

The carcass of a pneumatic tyre is made from bonded wire and nylon, which when recycled has to be separated. This creates a high cost and also uses up unecessary resources, making the disposal of these tyres very expensive.

With AirBoss the segments are made from a metal insert which is then moulded in to 100% rubber, eliminating all of the above problems because even if you do have a damaged segment, all that is required is a new insert of the rubber component. Furthermore, the damaged segment is recyclable and is not expensive to dispose of - another benefit of using AirBoss tyres!

 

Reduce the amount of rubber you need to dispose of

If you damage the rubber on an AirBoss tyre, you are only replacing one damaged segment. However, if you damage the rubber on a normal tyre, you have to replace the whole tyre.

So when you use AirBoss tyres you will dispose of much less rubber. This reduces costs and even helps the environment.

Reduce the damage you cause to the environment

Waste tyres are often set on fire. Unfortunately this releases harmful gases which pollute the atmosphere. If you use AirBoss tyres, you can reduce the damage you cause to the environment.

  • You will be disposing of far less rubber than other construction companies
  • You will considerably limit carbon emissions produced by call-out and recovery vehicles
