8.25×16.5 rim for Industrial rim Skid steer Bobcat
Description
The 8.25x16.5 rim size is a very common construction machinery rim specification for skid steer loaders, widely used in light and medium-duty skid steer loaders, especially suitable for construction sites, municipal engineering, agricultural and landscaping operations.
This rim specification achieves a good balance between flexibility, load capacity, and cost-effectiveness, making it widely used in the global skid steer loader market.
The smaller 16.5-inch rim size is ideal for highly mobile equipment like skid steer loaders.
Advantages include a smaller turning radius, more agile turning on the spot, suitability for confined work spaces, strong adaptability to urban construction sites, and particularly suitable for indoor construction, landscaping, and municipal maintenance.
The 8.25x16.5 is typically used with wide-base engineering tires, providing a larger contact patch, stronger grip, better anti-skid performance, and improved mud-traffic capability, exhibiting stability on mud, gravel, or soft surfaces.
Although compact in size, the structural design is sufficient to support the common operating conditions of skid steer loaders. Traction uses its own high-strength steel, ensuring the safety and lifespan of the OTR rim from the material source. This makes the product superior to ordinary standard rims in terms of concentricity, fatigue resistance, weld strength, and service life. High-strength, high-quality steel ensures the rim has excellent fatigue and impact resistance.
The wide rim structure design effectively distributes loads and improves tire life.
