Hickory Hardware's Flat-Free Solid Tire



Two times stronger and lasts three times longer than traditional rubber tires

(Portland, Tennessee, USA: October 3, 2006) Hickory Hardware(TM) (www.hickoryhardware.com), America's leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of decorative, functional and industrial hardware, introduces Flat-Free solid tires for industrial and construction equipment, including hand trucks and wheelbarrows. Hickory Hardware's Flat-Free tires are more durable, can sustain heavier loads, and are more reliable than traditional utility tires, resulting in decreased maintenance and downtime.

While more lightweight than foam-fill or solid rubber alternatives, Hickory Hardware's Flat-Free tires are two times stronger and last three times longer than traditional rubber tires. The tough outer skin of the Flat-Free tire, formed using a centrifugal casting process, provides increased chemical, UV and abrasion resistance, and is non-marking for indoor use.

Hickory Hardware Flat-Free tires use an innovative combination of open- and closed-cell technology. Open cells provide durability by creating a continuous linked cell structure; closed cells provide bounce, rebound and hysteresis. This unique cell structure supports heavy loads while delivering pneumatic tire performance and solid wheel reliability. Flat-Free tires are available in a variety of sizes and assemblies, including casters, as original equipment or replacement.
