Forklift Tire Specs
Since 1917, important tools used in commercial businesses and industry are forklifts. During its history the forklift has evolved through different kinds, from a basic tractor with a platform attachment to a specialized high-tech machine. Forklift tires have also changed into particular tires, with different types designed to meet particular applications.
Cushion (Solid) Tires
A cushion tire is constructed of solid polyurethane or rubber and is best for indoor work on smooth surfaces. 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 normally utilized within warehouse atmosphere.
Pneumatic Tires
Foam or air is utilized to fill pneumatic forklift tires. They come in two types: radial or bias. Depending upon the use, they are offered with different sidewall protection, tread depths and weight. Pneumatic forklift tires which are filled with foam maintain constant pressures and are less prone to punctures. Pneumatic tires are normally used outdoors on rough, uneven surfaces.
Pneumatic Shaped Solid/Solid Pneumatic
The comfortable ride that pneumatic tires provide together with the puncture resistance that solid tires provide are the combined features of Solid Pneumatic Hybrid Tires. They are a great option to the outdoor pneumatic tire.
Large Rubber and Flotation Tires
Big rubber tires, that could be foam, solid or pneumatic, are used on wheel loader forklifts. These tires are suitable for loading and transporting heavy things onto trucks or into processing equipment. Large flotation pneumatic tires are suited for masted rough terrain forklifts usually utilized at lumberyards, construction locations and automobile recyclers.
