Forklift Tires

When it comes to installation types, there are two types regarding forklift tires: press on and standard. Usually, press on tires are utilized on electric forklifts and those kinds of forklifts operating in indoor applications such as warehouses. The press on tires can also be utilized in light industrial operation as well.



Standard tires are generally utilized on forklifts which operate in outdoor settings or where rough or uneven surfaces need tougher tires and more traction.



There are a lot of various kinds of forklift tires just as there are a lot of different types of forklifts. The types of tires that are most frequently utilized are polyurethane, pneumatic and solid. The type of tires are dictated by what and where the forklift is used for. It is essential to get the right tires for the job and ensuring the correct choice will have a big impact on both performance and safety.



It is better to use pneumatic tires on outdoor forklifts that function in an all-terrain atmosphere such as on construction sites. These are constructed out of tough rubber and then filled with air, like a tractor or truck tire. Pneumatic tires create an air cushion between the terrain and the forklift itself. This design considerably lessens the wear and tear on the equipment and creates a really comfortable ride for the operator. The deep, thick treads on the tires provide the necessary traction required for use on uneven and rough surfaces.



Solid tires are best suited for both light industrial outdoor and indoor applications. They are fabricated out of tough, constructed solid rubber. This helps them to stay safer from blowouts, popping like pneumatic tires or damage due to puncture wounds. Since these tires are not filled with air, they are unable to provide the cushion effect. This fact makes them not suitable for use on rough terrain. Some solid tires are made with holes in the sidewalls to provide a somewhat softer ride. The only problem is that this kind of construction makes the load carrying capacity of the forklift less.



The polyurethane forklift tires would normally outlast both of the rubber tire designs but are intended for indoor warehouse use only. The load capacity of polyurethane is a lot higher than that of a rubber tire. These tires work great with well with electric forklifts because of the additional weight of the equipment's batteries. Due to the tire's less rolling resistance, another advantage of this type of tire is the longer battery life.
