Tires play a very important part in the wear and tear of other items on your forklift such as the steer axles. They are your only part on the forklift that acts as a cushion/suspension because indoor forklifts do not have a suspension system like other equipment does. One way to check your tires is to see if the rubber on your tires have reached the safety line (a line on the side wall of the tire), it’s time for replacement. Another way to check for tire wear is to have a look at the sidewall of the tire. Once the rubber reaches the top of the numbering or lettering on the sidewall, the tire should be replaced.
We carry all types of cushion tires such as traction, non-marking, poly and rubber as well as a full line of pneumatic tires, both air and solid. If it is time to replace yours, give us a call today. It is not as expensive as you might think.
