Forklift Tire Specs
Since 1917, essential tools utilized within commercial businesses and industry are forklifts. Throughout its history the forklift has changed through different kinds, from a tractor with an attached platform to a specialized high-tech machinery. Forklift tires have also changed into specialized tires, with various kinds designed to suit specific functions.
Cushion (Solid) Tires
Solid polyurethane or rubber are the types of materials used to construct cushion tires. They are best for indoor work on surfaces that are smooth. The tread of a cushion tire is pressed or binded onto the tire's steel ring. Cushion tires are rated ease of steering and for different load capacities. Cushion tires are usually used within warehouse atmosphere.
Pneumatic Tires
Air or foam is utilized to fill pneumatic forklift tires. They come in two kinds: bias or radial. Depending on the use, they come with various sidewall protection, tread depths and weight. Foam-filled pneumatic forklift tires maintain constant pressures and are less prone to punctures. Pneumatic tires are commonly utilized outdoors on surfaces that are uneven and rough.
Pneumatic Shaped Solid/Solid Pneumatic
The comfortable ride that pneumatic tires offer together with the puncture resistance which solid tires provide are the combined features of Solid Pneumatic Hybrid Tires. They are an alternative to the outdoor pneumatic tire.
Large Rubber and Flotation Tires
Big rubber tires, which can be foam, solid or pneumatic, are used on wheel loader forklifts. These tires are best for moving and loading heavy items onto trucks or into processing equipment. Large flotation pneumatic tires are suited for masted rough terrain forklifts usually utilized at lumberyards, construction sites and automobile recyclers.
