Liquid Ballast

Tire ballasting or liquid ballasting is highly recommended in O.T.R equipment for functionality and stability as well as transferring power to the ground. Tractors, agricultural, and construction equipment all have more power than their weight can use. Weights need to be added to the tires and/or frame to improve the machine's traction and prevent wheel slippage, which can damage tires. Liquid ballasting materials include rocks, soil, cast iron, water, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, beet juice and more. The addition of liquid ballast substantially increases the weight of your O.T.R vehicle to help improve traction on loose surfaces. Improved traction saves time and improves productivity.

Why is Your Liquid Ballast Important?

Liquid ballast can improve stability by lowering that center of gravity and also helps to protect components such as the front axle.
