About Pneumatic Tire Forklifts

Pneumatic tires are not all that different from the tires you see on a typical truck. They come in two common designs: ones that are filled with air and ones that are solid and made from rubber.

Ideal Work Sites For Pneumatic Tire Forklifts

These forklifts are a popular site on outdoor worksites - and it's easy to see why! Pneumatic tires can more easily absorb unevenness of terrain. Other types of forklifts can often encounter damage to their tires, which means time lost to getting replacement tires.

Benefits of Pneumatic Tire Forklifts

Because the pneumatic tires can better absorb unevenness in the terrain, they are able to offer some key advantages.

First, operators get to enjoy a smoother riding experience with reduced bumping and shaking. The longer your work day, the more you will appreciate this!

Second, the tires have a thicker tread. This leads to better traction, especially when moving across loose materials or uneven surfaces.

Third, these forklifts tend to have better uptime when working outdoors. This helps you get the job done faster and with less waiting around to replace tires on your forklift.
