Before selecting new forklift tires, it is important to first have a trained forklift tire expert complete an in-plant survey for your application. This will help you determine the optimum combination of tire compound, profile, and size for each specific application.
The survey will consider:
Cushion Tires are composed of solid rubber and are directly pressed onto the wheel. They sit lower to the ground and offer a smaller turning radius, which provides an advantage in maneuverability. Cushion Tires are primarily suited for indoor or paved applications use, as they can be less effective on uneven surfaces like gravel.
Pneumatic tires (solid) are designed of solid rubber, much like a cushion tire, and are the most common tire on the market today. Solid pneumatic tires are commonly used for a combination of indoor and outdoor applications. However, solid pneumatic tires do not offer the same comfortable ride a cushion tire does across paved surfaces. The initial investment is higher than a cushion tire, but they are designed to be practically indestructible and have a very long life.
Pneumatic tires (air-filled) are designed of rubber but are air-filled much like a car or truck tire. They have a deep tread and are made of strong, long-lasting rubber material. These tires are designed for rough, outdoor terrain.
