Galileo Wheel has unveiled the new SkidCup, a groundbreaking airless tire solution for skid steers and loaders that promises to transform the industrial tire landscape. The innovative technology, announced on November 21, 2024, represents the first major structural advancement in skid steer tires.
SkidCup's revolutionary design features a patented air cavity that delivers the best of both worlds – combining the durability of solid tires with the superior shock absorption traditionally associated with pneumatic tires. This breakthrough eliminates the age-old trade-off between puncture resistance and equipment preservation that has long challenged the industry.
The technology achieves remarkable performance improvements, including a 30% enhancement in traction compared to conventional tires, far exceeding the typical 7-8% difference between basic and premium tires in the market.
The skid steer tire launch follows Galileo Wheel's successful $8 million Series C funding round, led by Stine Seed Farm. The company is expanding its presence through direct sales and dealer networks across the United States, Europe, Asia, and South Africa.
The announcement has been covered by Tire Business, highlighting its potential impact on the global airless tire market, which is projected to reach USD 1.7 billion by 2027.
