Forklift Tires FAQs
What is the difference between cushion tires and pneumatic forklift tires?
Cushion tires are solid rubber press-on tires for smooth indoor surfaces. Pneumatic tires are air-filled or foam-filled for outdoor terrain where traction and shock absorption matter.
What are non-marking forklift tires and when should I use them?
Non-marking tires (W/S variants) leave no marks on warehouse floors. Use them in food distribution, cleanrooms, or any facility with strict floor cleanliness requirements.
What is a solid pneumatic tire and how does it differ from a standard pneumatic?
Solid pneumatic tires match the profile of air-filled pneumatics but are constructed from solid rubber throughout, eliminating any risk of flats or punctures.
What do the size dimensions on cushion tires mean?
Dimensions are listed as outside diameter x width x rim size (e.g., 18x7x12.125). All three must match your existing tire or rim for proper fitment.
Can I order multiple tire sizes for my fleet in a single transaction?
Yes. Helmar Parts supports bulk and multi-SKU orders for fleet-wide replacements. Contact the team for assistance with larger orders.
