To help you select the best Forklift Tire and Compound, we will ask you to consider the following factors: type of fuel utilized; average weight of load; length of your standard run; types of problems you are having; type of surfaces the forklift runs on; whether your forklift operates over dock plates; number of shifts and percentage of time the forklift is loaded; and the top speed and the normal speed of your forklift

There are certain terms which describe various attributes of tires. It is helpful to know what they mean. The term Durometer refers to the hardness of forklift tires. The range is normally from 83 to 95, the number increasing with the hardness of the tire. Most of the tires made these days fall within a couple of standard industry classifications.

The driver can have a more comfortable ride if the tires are softer. They are recommended for operations which require regular maneuvering since they provide better traction. They are could better tolerate driving over floor debris. For applications requiring long runs and maximum speed, soft tires are not recommended. They are made of softer compounds that have the tendency to heat up and wear more quickly than hard tires.

For applications which require long runs, multiple shifts and high speed, it is best to have harder tires. They are better than soft tires for maximum loads, and they would last longer and wear better. Hard tires give a less comfortable ride and are less forgiving of floor debris. They tend to be more energy efficient because they offer less resistance.

Universal Compound tires combine advantages and are suggested as all-around tires for general applications.
