When choosing a forklift, wheels are certainly not something you are concerned about when buying a forklift for yourself, but take a moment to read this article to see if your forklift wheels are suitable for the environment. and what are the working conditions like? The wheels are the main load-bearers of the forklift when operating.

Below we will help you choose the right type of forklift wheel for your forklift operator in each working environment. The manufacturer has also provided you with three options such as: pneumatic lift wheels, foam pneumatic lift wheels and solid lift wheels. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages in terms of performance and cost to own them. And let’s learn about electric forklift wheels and forklift wheels.

1. The pneumatic wheel is full of air

Pneumatic tires are the least expensive forklift tires, are also the lightest and provide the best overall buoyancy when working in soft ground conditions. They will also give the operator the most comfort when operating the vehicle.

However, they also have disadvantages, especially when using forklifts to work at construction sites where there are many scattered construction debris such as nails, screws, rebar and other sharp objects that can damage the vehicle. Puncture, damage to the wheel.

And if the tire is damaged, you will lose time and money because the car is not running. They are also used as forklift wheels with large tonnage.

2. Pneumatic wheel filled with foam

You can also have foam added to pneumatic tires at any time throughout the life of a set of tires. However, most companies that buy or rent forklifts like to add new tires with extra foam. Foam will add weight to the entire forklift and affect the performance and buoyancy of the machine.

Most forklift manufacturers say foam tires perform better on rough terrain, greatly improving because of the added weight.

The possibility of a flat tire at work is also significantly reduced. Besides, foam tires will still have difficulty sticking to the wheels and can cause them to wear out faster than normal, so keep an eye on your tires because they will be easily damaged. damage, wear and tear, and damage to the sidewalls. Additionally, automakers would agree that full foam in the tire throughout its life is important.

However, the price of foam wheels will be 1.5 to 2 times higher than pneumatic tires depending on the type of vehicle and usage needs.

3. Solid forklift wheels

Solid rubber forklift wheels are increasingly popular among forklift rental companies and contractors. Special forklift wheels are used for electric forklifts and forklifts in factories. They can go anywhere and have a lifespan 5-9 times longer than pneumatic tires and they don’t have downtime due to flat tires, running out of air is a thing of the past.

This makes them ideally suited for construction sites with a lot of debris and sharp objects on the construction site.

However, the balance of solid forklift wheels will be stiffer than foam tires or pneumatic tires, which will make driving uncomfortable for the operator. In addition, the added weight of rubber will greatly affect the steering wheel’s ability to float while driving on soft ground.

Solid forklift wheels cost much more than pneumatic tires and bubble tires. Electric forklift wheels and forklift wheels mostly use solid forklift wheels used mainly for work in factories and flat workplaces.

4. Electric forklift wheels, forklift wheels
