Forklift Tyres

Forklift tyres are the type of tyre that is designed to bear the load and withstand the force an industrial environment presents. Commonly made from solid rubber or rubber compounds, these can withstand heavy loads on rough surfaces. Many forks have polyurethane made from carbon black or hydrated silicas. It makes them very resistant to wear and tear and is thus suitable for indoor applications with smooth floors. There are three major types of tyres for forklifts: cushion, pneumatic, and solid tyres. Cushion tyres are made from solid rubber and are the perfect choice for indoor applications. Pneumatic tyres are similar in appearance to the tyres on an automobile in that they are air- or foam-filled and suitable for outdoors where the ground is uneven. Solid tyres have no air inside them, but rather are constructed entirely out of rubber—thus, they are more durable in the worst outdoor conditions. Choosing the right forklift tyres means better handling, better safety, and better overall performances that keep your operations running smoothly. Capacity, distance traveled, speed, surface conditions, moisture levels, tread type, and traction type are some of the factors to consider while choosing forklift tyres.
