VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES [Abstract] |
Variable Interest Entities Disclosure [Text Block] | VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES The Company holds a variable interest in three joint ventures for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Two of the joint ventures operate distribution facilities which primarily distribute mining products. One of these facilities is located in Canada and the other is located in Australia. The Company’s variable interest in these joint ventures relates to sales of Titan product to these entities, consigned inventory, and working capital loans. The third joint venture is the consortium which owns Voltyre-Prom. (See Note 9 for additional information.) Titan is acting as operating partner with responsibility for Voltyre-Prom’s daily operations. The Company has also provided working capital loans to Voltyre-Prom. As the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities (VIEs), the entities’ assets, liabilities, and results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The other equity holders’ interests are reflected in “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and “Noncontrolling interests” in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes the carrying amount of the entities’ assets and liabilities included in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016 (amounts in thousands):
| March 31, 2017 |  | December 31, 2016
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 13,188 |  |  | $ | 9,396 |
Inventory | 15,573 |  |  | 11,445 |
Other current assets | 32,723 |  |  | 23,301 |
Property, plant and equipment, net | 34,434 |  |  | 30,448 |
Other noncurrent assets | 5,430 |  |  | 4,955 |

Current liabilities | $ | 37,322 |  |  | $ | 22,068 |
Noncurrent liabilities | 5,991 |  |  | 5,350 |
Total liabilities | $ | 43,313 |  |  | $ | 27,418 |
All assets in the above table can only be used to settle obligations of the consolidated VIE to which the respective assets relate. Liabilities are nonrecourse obligations. Amounts presented in the table above are adjusted for intercompany eliminations. The Company holds a variable interest in certain VIEs which are not consolidated because Titan is not the primary beneficiary. The Company's involvement with these entities is in the form of direct equity interests and prepayments and purchases of materials. The maximum exposure to loss represents the loss of assets recognized by Titan relating to non-consolidated entities and amounts due to the non-consolidated assets. The assets and liabilities recognized in Titan's Consolidated Balance Sheets related to Titan's interest in these non-consolidated VIEs and the Company's maximum exposure to loss relating to non-consolidated VIEs as of the dates set forth below were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| March 31, 2017 |  | December 31, 2016
Investments | $ | 4,762 |  |  | $ | 4,738 |
Other current assets | 1,072 |  |  | 1,039 |
Total VIE assets | 5,834 |  |  | 5,777 |
Accounts payable | 1,121 |  |  | 932 |
