Forklift Tire Specs
Ever since the year 1917, important tools utilized in commercial businesses and industry are forklifts. Throughout its history the forklift has changed through various forms, from a tractor with an attached platform to a specialized high-tech machine. Forklift tires have also evolved into specialized tires, with various types designed to meet particular applications.
Cushion (Solid) Tires
A cushion tire is constructed of solid polyurethane or rubber and is suitable for indoor applications on smooth surfaces. The cushion tire tread is bonded or pressed onto the tire's steel ring. Cushion tires are rated ease of steering and for different load capacities. Cushion tires are normally utilized within warehouse settings.
Pneumatic Tires
Pneumatic forklift tires are filled with foam or air. They are available in two kinds: radial or bias. Depending on the use, they come with different tread depths, weight and sidewall protection. Pneumatic forklift tires which are filled with foam maintain constant pressures and are less prone to punctures. Pneumatic tires are commonly utilized outdoors on surfaces which are uneven and rough.
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 great alternative to the outdoor pneumatic tire.
Large Rubber and Flotation Tires
Big rubber tires, which could be pneumatic, foam or solid, are used on wheel loader forklifts. These types of tires are best for moving and loading heavy things onto trucks or into processing equipment. Big flotation pneumatic tires are best for masted rough terrain forklifts normally used at construction sites, automobile recyclers and lumberyards.
