Core offering

Setco Solid Tires manufactures solid (non-pneumatic) rubber tires and rims from raw materials for off-road heavy equipment used in extreme and abusive environments. The company produces expanded rim and press-on solid tires for skid steers, loaders, cranes, haul trucks, backhoes, and forklifts, supported by proprietary rubber compounds, patented tread designs, custom manufacturing capabilities, and the SETCO TMS fleet tire management software platform.

Product overview

SETCO Solid Tires manufactures solid rubber (non-pneumatic) tires for off-road heavy equipment. The company operates two main product lines: Expanded Rim Tires (premium tires bonded to proprietary heavy-duty rims five times stronger than OE wheels) and Press On Tires (designed to fit original equipment wheels). These core lines serve specific equipment types including skid steers, loaders, cranes, haul trucks, backhoes, and forklifts. The portfolio includes multiple tread design variants (Slick/Junk Yard Dog, SGL, Aggressor, Vented, S-Mine, Waste Expeditor, P24/P24S) tailored for different applications and environments. Beyond tires, SETCO offers the proprietary SETCO TMS tire management software platform for fleet optimization, rubber cutting edges as accessories, and mobile service professional support. The company positions itself as problem solvers for hazardous environments including scrapyards, solid waste management, mining, and demolition. Manufacturing is headquartered in Idabel, OK with distribution across the USA and Europe.

Products and services

• Expanded Rim Tires Premium solid rubber tires bonded to heavy-duty rims using SETCO's proprietary interlock system; rims are five times stronger than traditional OE-style wheels. Available for loaders, skid steers, cranes, and haul trucks with multiple tread designs.
• Press On Tires Solid press-on tires designed to fit on original equipment (OE) wheels, featuring proprietary rubber compounds and a rim exchange program to minimize downtime.
• Skid Steer Tires Compression molded solid tires for skid steer machines, including solid floatation tires. SETCO skid steer tires reportedly last 3-5 times longer than conventional alternatives.
• Loader Tires Durable solid tires for front-end loaders, featuring an exclusive rubber compound with shredded wire mixture (70,000 lb tensile strength) for enhanced traction and durability in wet and abusive environments. Guaranteed to provide a lower cost per hour with no catastrophic tire failures.
• Crane Tires Solid rubber tires and rims for material handler cranes providing durability and puncture resistance for scrap yard environments, with tire life historically reaching 10,000-20,000 hours of service.
• Haul Truck Tires Non-pneumatic haul truck tires built with increased rim strength and custom rubber compounds. Super Single designs eliminate dead space between conventional dual tire setups.
• Backhoe Tires Solid rubber tires for backhoes, guaranteed to rebuild, reducing cost by requiring only one rim purchase. Manufactured with A36 steel combined with exclusive compression molded rubber compound.
• Forklift Tires Long-lasting solid forklift tires manufactured throughout with durable rubber compound. Super single options replace dual applications, eliminating debris-catching void spaces.
• SETCO TMS (Tire Management System) Proprietary tire management software that maximizes tire life by proactively informing operators when tires should be rotated, minimizing drive train stress and tracking tire wear for predictive maintenance. Claims 20% longer tire life with proper rotations.
• Cutting Edges Compression molded rubber cutting edges bonded to metal blades, made from 100% natural rubber. Protects buckets and floors, cleans floors more effectively, and reduces tire spinning.
• Service Professionals (Mobile Tire Service) Mobile tire service using state-of-the-art trucks and tools with SETCO-trained technicians. Includes tire rotation services using SETCO TMS tracking and calibrated torque guns for proper installation in select markets.

Broad incumbents

• Titan International: Titan International is a U.S. manufacturer specializing in off-the-road and large specialty tires for agricultural, mining, and construction equipment. It overlaps with Setco in OTR and solid tire applications but at a larger scale across broader categories.
• Continental Industrial Tires: Continental's ContiEarth and industrial tire lines include solid forklift and material-handling tires. As a global tier-1 tire maker, it competes with Setco in selected industrial SKUs while operating a vastly broader product portfolio across passenger and commercial tires.
• Yokohama Off-Highway Tires: Yokohama's Alliance and off-highway tire business manufactures OTR and industrial tires for construction, mining, and material handling. It competes with Setco in select heavy-equipment categories while serving a much wider portfolio.
• Bridgestone Off-the-Road Tires: Bridgestone's off-the-road segment includes large mining, construction, and industrial tires. It is a global tier-1 competitor serving many of the same heavy-equipment customers as Setco, with much greater scale across non-solid categories.

Direct peers

• Trelleborg Wheel Systems: Trelleborg's Wheel Systems business is one of the closest direct peers, manufacturing solid rubber and press-on tires for forklifts, skid steers, and material-handling equipment. It competes head-to-head with Setco in industrial solid tires across similar customer verticals (warehousing, waste, ports).
• Superior Tire & Rubber Corp: Superior Tire & Rubber is a U.S. manufacturer of solid industrial tires, press-on tires, and polyurethane wheels for forklifts and heavy equipment. It is a direct mid-market competitor in solid industrial tire manufacturing.
• Marangoni Tyre: Marangoni manufactures solid forklift tires and industrial wheels under brands such as RTB. It directly competes with Setco in the solid forklift and material-handling tire segments across European and global markets.
• BKT (Balkrishna Industries): BKT is a major Indian manufacturer of specialty and OTR tires, including solid forklift, skid steer, and industrial tires. It is one of the largest global competitors in the solid industrial tire segments that Setco serves (logistics, agriculture, construction).
• Camso (Michelin Specialty Tires): Camso (now part of Michelin's specialty segment) manufactures solid and resilient tires for forklifts, skid steers, and material-handling equipment. It serves many of the same industrial verticals (warehousing, scrap, waste) with similar solid-tire technology.

Emerging players

• TVS Eurogrip (TVS Srichakra): TVS Eurogrip manufactures specialty and industrial tires including solid and pneumatic forklift tires. It is an emerging competitor expanding into solid industrial segments that overlap with Setco's core product lines.
