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