Choosing the Correct Tires For Your Lift
One of the first and most important decisions you need to make when deciding which type of forklift to purchase is what type of tire suits your needs. Forklifts generally use one of two types of rubber tires: cushion or pneumatic. These tires serve differing purposes and are essential to the success of your material handling operations.
Ideal Indoor Material Handling Vehicles
Cushion tires are smooth, treadless tires attached to a round metal band. Cushion tire vehicles are best suited to indoor applications with even terrain, and also provide better performance in tight spaces and narrow aisle situations in warehouses and other buildings.
Electric forklifts, such as order pickers and reach trucks, are only available in cushion tires due to their exclusive use indoors. If you are interested in buying a forklift with cushion tires, you can find everything we sell in our vehicle inventory.
