Wide press-on forklift tires that are larger in size than the regular tires usually come with several benefits. Let's take a look at some of them;
Improved Traction
Wide track forklift tires come with deep lugs that are quite pronounced. The lugs are very crucial for keeping the forklift stable while it moves on a wet path.
Instead of sliding on the wet slippery surfaces the lugs help the tires keep a very firm grip of the floor. They do this by channeling water away from the path of the forklift.
Increased stability
When the stability of a forklift is affected it immediately becomes a threat to safety.
To improve the stability of the forklift, the wide traction forklift tires have a large footprint which boosts the surface area of the tire that is in touch with the floor.
Another important benefit of the wider footprint is diminished wear and tear of the tires.
More Load Capacity
Forklift tires are designed with a load capacity that they can safely handle.
Wide traction forklift tires usually come with a higher load handling capability compared to regular size tires.
Therefore a forklift fitted with them can handle more load improving the productivity of your operations.
Low Rolling Resistance
Friction is usually generated against the forklift tires when a forklift is in motion. This friction is referred to as rolling resistance and has an impact on the fuel efficiency of forklifts.
However, wide traction forklift tires have a low rolling resistance which makes them great for fuel-efficiency.
Cool Running
Rubber does not respond well to heat which causes it to melt from the inside.
Now when forklift tires like run for a long time they generate heat that will eventually destroy them.
However, this is not the case for wide traction press-on forklift tires as they are designed with impressive heat dissipation qualities since thy handle more weight and intense operations. This helps prevent heat build-up within the tires.
