Why do forklifts use solid tires?

Tires are the most important components of forklifts. They support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the forklift, and transmit forces and torques in other directions. Forklifts are much better using solid tires than hollow tires. To sum up, there are the following points:

Why do forklifts use solid tires?
1. Solid tires have excellent safety performance and are conducive to improving work efficiency
The carcass of solid tires is made entirely of rubber, which greatly guarantees the puncture resistance of the tires and eliminates the hidden dangers of tire punctures in industrial vehicles in harsh working environments or during load-bearing operations. Solid tires have small load-deformation and good operating stability. Because they are puncture-resistant and tear-resistant, and do not require inflation, solid tires can completely replace pneumatic tires in low-speed, high-efficiency vehicles.
2. Advanced formula design and technology
Solid tires have a production history of more than half a century and are experienced. The rubber formula design maximizes the performance of the tire, especially the base rubber is all imported from abroad with high rigidity and low heat generation rubber, which minimizes the heat generation and temperature rise of the tire during operation, thus solving the serious problems of swelling, slipping, bursting and so on caused by temperature rise of solid tires; the advanced formula design also reduces the rolling resistance of the tire. According to the test of the National Engineering Machinery Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, the rolling resistance coefficient of solid tires is equivalent to that of pneumatic tires, which solves the problem of increased fuel consumption caused by the replacement of solid tires;

promote safe production
3. Avoid vehicle tire blowouts and the danger of losing control, and promote safe production
4. Compared with pneumatic tires, solid tires have the advantages of high safety, puncture resistance, tear resistance, wear resistance and long service life. They are ideal replacement products for pneumatic tires in the field of industrial vehicles. With the development of industrial vehicles and the improvement of solid tire production technology, this type of tire has been more and more widely used.

5. Reasonable structural design ensures that the tire has good performance. Solid tires adopt advanced three-stage structural design, and the three rubber materials respectively guarantee the overall performance of the tire. The high-strength, high-rigidity base rubber and steel ring support can not only ensure the stiffness of the tire, but also ensure the tightness of the tire and the rim, thus eliminating the slip problem of solid tires; the highly elastic intermediate rubber can effectively absorb the vibration generated during vehicle operation and avoid damage to the vehicle; the thickened tread rubber layer ensures the tire's tear and wear resistance and increases the service life of the solid tire.
