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