There are many types of forklift tires. Forklifts are intended for different uses and have specific tire types. The popular types of forklift tires include pneumatic, robust, and polyurethane. Each type of tire has its own advantages in the situation it is intended for use.

Forklift tires are often either press-on or standard. Press-on tires are more comfortable to put on the forklift, but may not measure up to the more difficult outdoor terrains that regular tires can. Regular tires are mounted on the wheel in the same manner as car tires. Press-on tires are often made for electric forklifts or other forklifts built mainly for using indoors.

Pneumatic forklift tires are quite identical to heavy-duty tires used for trucks and are filled 

with air, have a thick, deep tread, and made of durable rubber that does not wear out. They increase the life of the forklift by giving an air cushion between the forklift and ground. Most rough ground forklifts use pneumatic tires due to their strong endurance and extensive length of life.

Solid rubber tires are another option to pneumatic tires & are similar, except they are solid & not filled with air. They do not puncture or go flat like pneumatic tires, but they do not give an air cushion either. They last very long but don't extend the lifespan of forklift like the pneumatic tires do. Solid forklift tires are ideal for using indoors or light outdoor use. They are not suitable for long-term use on rugged ground. It is best to purchase reliable solid tires that are made in the USA. Forklift Tire Company provide high-quality forklift tires because they care about the life of their tires and truly want to provide a great product for their customers. They have a national network of warehouses and supply and even offer free shipping to commercial addresses in the contiguous USA.

Polyurethane forklift tires are commonly used on indoor forklifts and are typically clasped to the wheel & this is the easiest way to apply a tire. Polyurethane forklift tires are excellent for indoor use since they give the correct amount of traction and have a low rolling resistance which extends their lifespan. Polyurethane forklift tires are ideally used on electric forklifts.

Forklift tires accommodate forklifts in a wide variety of conditions. If a forklift is intended for use on rough terrain or concrete indoors, some tires will support it.
