Tyres and Traction
Warning! Dingo tyres should be filled with water or solid fill. Failure to do so will
result in poor weight distribution, which will drastically reduce the stability and
carrying capacity of the machine.
Use of incorrect tyre pressure will also reduce the stability and carrying capacity of the
Dingo. The correct tyre pressure is usually between 140 and 155kpa (20-22psi).
Various types of equipment are available for adding water to tyres. Filling equipment
can also be purchased from Dingo Mini Diggers.
You should also be aware that the tyres fitted to your machine may not be the most
suitable for all work environments and there is a range of traction equipment to suit
every application.
This range includes:
• 8” Turf tyres [machine width – 1050mm] (general purpose - suitable for
grassy areas, dry soil and paved surfaces – minimum ground disturbance).
• 8” Lug tyres [machine width – 1050mm] (tractor type, for building sites,
muddy situations and trenching).
• 5” Forklift type tyres [machine width – 890mm] (narrower tyres, suitable for
heavy loads, restricted access, inside buildings and foundries – great on all
hard surfaces).
• 3” Narrow solid tyres [machine width – 840mm] (only for very restricted
access – will fit through a standard doorway).
• Tracks [machine width – 1200mm] (excellent floatation and traction –
suitable for mud, sand or slush).
• Solid fill (all of the tyres mentioned above (excluding the 3” solids) can be
supplied by Dingo Mini Diggers, filled with a puncture-proof, solid foam).
For more information on our range of traction products, please speak to your nearest
Dingo representative.
