Backhoe Tyre Care in Malaysia: A Practical Guide

In Malaysia, backhoe loaders are widely used in construction, plantation work, infrastructure maintenance, and municipal projects. These machines operate in various terrains—ranging from palm oil estates to roadworks—so tyre performance is critical to getting the job done efficiently.

At Isuka Tires, we supply brand-new pneumatic backhoe tyres designed for Malaysian working conditions. Here’s how to take care of them for better performance and longer life.

1. Check Air Pressure Regularly

Why it matters:
Underinflated tyres cause excessive heat and sidewall damage, while overinflated tyres reduce grip and increase wear on hard surfaces.

Tip: Check your tyre pressure every morning before starting work. Always follow the pressure guidelines on the tyre or from the equipment manual.

2. Inspect Tyres Before Use

Before operating your backhoe, walk around and check all four tyres.

Look for:

• Cracks, cuts, or sidewall bulges

• Worn or uneven tread

• Sharp objects stuck in the tyre (e.g., nails, wire)

• Any signs of leaks or damage

Tip: Early detection prevents sudden tyre failure in the middle of a job.

3. Rotate Tyres When Needed

Backhoes often do different tasks—digging at the back and lifting or pushing in front. This leads to uneven wear between front and rear tyres.

Tip: Rotate the tyres periodically, especially if you're working on rough ground or carrying uneven loads.

4. Operate Smoothly on Job Sites

Avoid aggressive turns, sudden braking, or high-speed travel between sites. These habits increase tyre wear and risk damage, especially on uneven or broken roads.

 Tip: Operate at moderate speeds and avoid sharp cornering—especially when fully loaded.

5. Avoid Operating on Hazardous Surfaces

Nails, rebar, jagged concrete, and sharp rocks are common on construction sites. These can puncture or damage even new tyres.

Tip: Keep your work area as clean as possible, and avoid running over debris when moving your machine.

6. Clean Tyres After Work

Especially after working in muddy plantations or wet construction sites, cleaning helps prevent mud buildup and premature wear.

Tip: Use water and a brush to remove dirt, stones, or dried concrete from the treads after every job.

7. Park on Level, Safe Ground

When your machine is idle:

• Park on flat, dry surfaces

• Avoid puddles, oil, or chemical spills under the tyres

• If storing long term, consider lifting the machine slightly to avoid tyre flat spots

8. Choose the Right Tyres from the Start
