Choosing Forklift Tires
Forklift Hunter, LLC can help you find a quality forklift that best fits your type of business and what you will need for the type of objects and merchandise you are lifting. And when considering buying a forklift, you need to consider the right type of forklift tire. Forklifts are categorized as either having pneumatic forklift tires, cushion forklift tires or rough terrain forklifts which need OTR Tires – Off The Road Tires. They are also determined by being either indoor forklifts or outdoor forklifts. Choosing the correct tires impacts the handling and safety characteristics of the forklift because each forklift will only use a specific type of tire. Tire type is key when taking into consideration the type of environment that the forklift will work in.
Cushion Tires
If the majority of your lifting will be done indoors with only light outdoor use on asphalt or concrete, a cushion tire forklift will get the job done. Cushion tires provide great traction on smooth surfaces. Cushion tire forklifts are also smaller in size than pneumatic tire forklifts and work better in areas with lower ground clearance or in tighter spaces.
Pneumatic Tires
Pneumatic tire forklifts have tires with air in the tire, and are best suited for outdoor use on gravel or dirt, but not suited for environments that have sharp objects on the ground that may puncture, such as in lumber yards, or industrial landscapes. Moreover, Pneumatic Solid tires are solid rubber tires that are puncture resistant and are used in areas that are more likely to have sharp objects/debris on the ground, and built to be more durable.
OTR Tires – Off The Road Tires
When it comes to a rough terrain forklift, this type of outdoor forklift is more than likely going to already be suited with industrial strength rubber tires, which are more suitable to work in an industrial/large debris landscape. Solid pneumatic tires are made of solid rubber and less likely to be punctured by sharp objects when working in an off road environment.
