How do I choose the right forklift tires?

Base your choice on load capacity, surface type, and application (indoor vs outdoor). Trelleborg Tires offers solid, pneumatic, and polyurethane models tailored for different operations.

What causes forklift tires to wear prematurely?

Overloading, misalignment, rough surfaces, or incorrect inflation accelerate wear. Trelleborg Tires uses advanced compounds that resist these factors for longer performance.

When should forklift tires be replaced?

Replace tires showing cracks, chunking, or minimal tread depth. Many Trelleborg solid models include the Pit Stop Line to indicate precise replacement timing.

What is the difference between forklift wheels and tires?

The tire provides traction and cushioning, while the wheel (rim) supports it structurally. Trelleborg Tires supplies both tires, rims, and complete wheel systems.

Should I use solid or pneumatic forklift tires?

Solid tires are puncture-proof and best indoors or in debris-heavy areas; pneumatic tires are better outdoors for comfort and shock absorption. Trelleborg Tires offers both.

When is polyurethane the best choice?

For heavy indoor loads and smooth floors, polyurethane press-on tires minimize downtime and rolling resistance.

How do Trelleborg forklift tires reduce floor damage?

Non-marking compounds and precise tread contact reduce scuffs and wear on warehouse floors

How to pick the right tire & rim combination?

Match rim width, diameter, and load chart to your tire. Trelleborg Tires provides compatible tire-and-rim systems for all major forklift brands.
