Choose the Right Forklift Wheels for Your Lift
Every type of forklift wheel serves a different purpose. Picking the right kind for your machine helps you boost productivity, reduce maintenance, and stay safe on the job.
- Pneumatic wheels are filled with air or foam and offer great traction and shock absorption. They’re perfect for outdoor yards, docks, and rough surfaces.
- Cushion wheels are made of solid rubber bonded to a metal band and are best for smooth, indoor surfaces like warehouse concrete.
- Solid rubber wheels are durable and puncture-proof, making them ideal for work zones with sharp debris or constant impact.
Understanding your work environment will guide you toward the right tire type. You’ll want to match the wheel to your terrain, weight load, and safety needs. Don’t forget: special materials like polyurethane, static-resistant rubber, or non-marking treads can be essential in food, medical, or flammable environments.
Specialty Forklift Wheels for Demanding Conditions
Sometimes, a standard tire won’t cut it. That’s why Helmar Parts offers specialty forklift wheels designed for specific tasks. Polyurethane tires, for example, hold up well in chemical-heavy settings and provide longer life in cold, slick areas. Non-marking tires are key for clean environments, think grocery warehouses or pharmaceutical production floors. And if you're working around flammable materials, our static-resistant wheels help minimize spark risk by reducing static buildup during operation.
With options across all three wheel types, pneumatic, cushion, and solid, you can find the features you need without sacrificing safety or performance.
Forklift Wheel Sizing and Maintenance Tips
It’s important to replace wheels before they’re completely worn down, ideally once you reach the 60J safety line on the sidewall. Worn wheels can throw off your forklift’s balance and cause unnecessary damage to the vehicle and its load. A few key maintenance tips:
- Inspect wheels regularly for flat spots, sidewall cracks, and wear beyond the tread or safety line.
- Keep tires clean of debris, oil, or chemicals that may degrade the rubber.
- Rotate wheels if your forklift design allows it to promote even wear.
These steps can help you extend the life of your forklift tires and prevent downtime.
