Lift Truck Tires: Everything You Need To Know

 

Looking for lift truck tires? We offer a wide selection of high-quality lift and forklift truck tires for various applications.  

 

Polyurethane Lift Truck Tires 

Polyurethane tires are great for electric trucks. Due to the hardness of these tires, they are durable, provide improved traction, and can carry greater loads with a longer lifespan. If you’re looking to lift loads above four feet, these tires are the better choice as they provide superior stability. Polyurethane tires can slip in wet conditions, however, there are tread types such as the Diamond Groove, also known as XGroove, that are suited for wet and cold floor conditions. 

 

Rubber Lift Truck Tires 

We also offer rubber and pneumatic tires for a softer ride. Rubber tires are great for outdoor conditions due to the broader footprint and the traction in wet conditions. Although these tires can be used inside, they are often made with carbon black which can cause scuff marks. Rubber tires have a lower load capacity and are best on propane and internal combustion truck lifts. Looking for cushion tires for a cushion tire lift truck? Check out our cushion tire inventory.
