Description
1638TSHD TireSocks Heavy Duty – Professional Tire Covers for Aerial Work Platforms, Telehandlers, Wheel Loaders and Industrial Equipment
Reinforced floor protection for intensive, heavy-duty use
The 1638TSHD TireSocks Heavy Duty are the reinforced version of the 1638TS, developed for machines with industrial tires that are used daily and intensively. They prevent black tire marks, rubber transfer, dust and contamination on sensitive floors, even when the machine operates for long periods under heavy loads.
Where the standard version is ideal for lighter, occasional use, the Heavy Duty version is built for demanding applications that require extra strength and a longer service life.
What makes the Heavy Duty version different?
The 1638TSHD differs from the standard 1638TS through an additional reinforced inner layer. This layer makes the tire cover more resistant to higher loads and intensive use, significantly increasing its service life in demanding conditions. The outer surface retains the same non-marking properties, so your floors stay fully protected.
- Additional reinforced inner layer for intensive, heavy-duty use.
- Withstands higher loads than the standard version.
- Longer service life during daily, intensive use.
- The same reliable non-marking protection on sensitive floors.
Engineered to Maximise Fleet Utilisation
Aerial work platforms and telehandlers are increasingly required to operate inside buildings where floors must remain perfectly clean and free from damage, including:
- distribution centres;
- manufacturing facilities;
- logistics centres;
- airports;
- data centres;
- pharmaceutical facilities;
- food processing plants;
- cleanrooms (where permitted);
- event venues;
- showrooms;
- precast concrete plants.
Standard pneumatic tires almost always leave black tire marks, rubber residue and dirt behind. This frequently results in additional cleaning costs, damage claims or even machines being refused access to indoor job sites.
With 1638TSHD TireSocks, every tire becomes a floor protection solution, allowing your machines to operate immediately on sensitive indoor flooring.

One Machine, Significantly More Rental Opportunities

With the 1638TSHD TireSocks, any standard machine can be converted within minutes into one that is suitable for indoor use. This reduces the need for specialised equipment, increases fleet availability and improves the return on every machine.
For international rental companies, this means higher fleet utilisation, more rental opportunities and a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
