Hickory Hardware’s Flat-Free solid utility tires look and perform like rubber air-filled tires, but can support heavier loads. Ideal for industrial and construction equipment, including hand trucks and wheelbarrows, these Flat-Free tires are two times stronger and last three times longer than traditional rubber tires and are much lighter than foam-fill or solid rubber alternatives. Their tough outer skin, formed using a centrifugal casting process, provides increased chemical and UV resistance and is non-marking for indoor applications. Hickory Hardware’s Flat-Free tires are available in a variety of sizes and assemblies, including casters, as original equipment or replacement.

(Portland, Tennessee) Hickory Hardware™, 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.
