Used Caterpillar IC Forklifts Berkeley

In selecting the right Forklift Tire and Compound, the following things should be taken into account: kind of fuel used; weight of your standard load; typical length of your run; types of issues you are having; kind of surfaces the forklift runs on; whether or not your forklift operates over dock plates; percentage of time and number of shifts the forklift is loaded; and the top speed and the normal speed of your forklift

To describe different attributes of tires, there are some specific terms that are used. It could help to know what precisely they mean. The term Durometer means the hardness of forklift tires. The range is normally from 83 to 95, the number increasing with the hardness of the tire. The majority of the tires manufactured these days fall within a couple of standard industry classifications.

Softer tires give the driver a more comfortable ride. They are recommended for applications that require regular maneuvering because they offer better traction. They are could better tolerate driving over floor debris. For applications that need long runs and maximum speed, soft tires are not recommended. They are made of softer compounds which have the tendency to heat up and wear faster than hard tires.

For use which require 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 wear better and last longer. Hard tires give a less comfortable ride and are less forgiving of floor debris. They have the tendency to be more energy efficient since they offer less resistance.

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