When selecting suitable solid tires for electric forklifts, there are generally two types of pneumatic solid tires and press-fit solid tires. There are obvious differences between the two types of tires, and whether the tires are used appropriately or not has certain hazards to the actual operation and safety of electric forklifts. Before deciding which tires to use, there are many factors to consider. The following is the difference between the selection of pneumatic and press-fit solid tires:
1. Inflatable solid tires
The tires are made of natural rubber, resistant to puncture, and have strong abrasion resistance on bumpy roads. They are widely used in construction, timber yards, tempered glass plants, smelters, and indoor/outdoor warehouses.
2. Press-fit solid tires
It is made of smooth solid core vulcanized rubber, which is very convenient for maintenance. It is mainly installed around the metal belt and is suitable for smooth surface application. In addition, press-fit solid tires help reduce small turning radius. It can be operated in a small indoor space.
In general, before purchasing solid tires, full consideration should be given to conditions such as the site and terrain to ensure work safety.
