Making Outdoor Equipment Tires Last!

We do 2 simple things to make the tires on yard equipment last a long time!

Rubber and sunlight don't mix well. The UV (ultraviolet) portion of the sun's light spectrum really plays havoc with rubber (and the plastic that is used for a lot of outdoor equipment components).

One of our videos featured one of the Gorilla Cart® models. There were some that said that they were very unhappy with the inflatable tires that came with the cart. They rotted quickly, wouldn't hold air, or cracked.

We've avoided (or at least significantly delayed) those issues by doing two very simple things. First, store the cart out of the sunlight (just because it gets used outdoors doesn't mean it has to live there), and keep the tires inflated to the recommended pressure. Low air pressure IS NOT a friend of tires. Correct pressure IS.

The tires that came on our cart show recommended maximum pressure as 2.0 BAR. The rough equivalent of that in I is 29. So we set our DeWalt Cordless Inflator to 2.0 bar or 29 I and keep the tires on our cart inflated. This protects the bead of the tires (the place where the inside edge of the tire mounts on the steel rim) from breaking loose.

Having our inflator on hand around here makes it easy to keep yard equipment and vehicle tires properly inflated. Thanks to my friend Brady N. that recommended this tool to me. He rocks.
