In choosing the correct Forklift Tire and Compound, the following factors must be taken into account: type of fuel utilized; weight of your standard load; typical length of your run; types of issues you are having; kind 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 particular terms that describe different attributes of tires. It can help to know what they mean. The term Durometer refers to the hardness of forklift tires. The range is typically from 83 to 95, the number increasing with the hardness of the tire. Nearly all of the tires manufactured nowadays fall within a couple of standard industry classifications.



The operator could have a more comfortable ride if the tires are softer. They are preferable for operations which require regular maneuvering as they provide better traction. They are better able to tolerate driving over floor debris. For uses which need maximum speed and long runs, soft tires are not suggested. They are constructed of softer compounds which tend to heat up and wear faster than hard tires.



For applications which need high speed, long runs and multiple shifts, 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 are less forgiving of floor debris and give a less comfortable ride. They tend to be more energy efficient as they offer less resistance.



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