Improving Forklift Utilization by Selecting Appropriate Solid Tires

Why Solid Tires?

Solid Tires are full rubber tires designed for durability, that are 100% puncture-proof and highly damage resistant & significantly improve occupational safety as there is no possibility of tire blowout related accidents. Solid tires ensure reliable performance in extreme industrial conditions, where forklifts may encounter abrasive surfaces, varied loads and long duty cycles. Compared to pneumatic alternatives, they eliminate the risk of punctures and reduce maintenance costs, thus lowering the total cost of ownership.

Manufacturing plants have 24×7 operations, where uptime and consistency are paramount. Efficient material handling is critical for efficient operations, as even a small breakdown can disrupt schedules and result in financial & production losses.

Ensuring 100% on-demand availability of MH equipment like forklifts, stackers, etc., is an imperative. Tires are quite literally where rubber hits the road!! And selecting suitable application-specific, high-performance tires should be a priority for ensuring nonstop operations.

Choosing the Right Forklift Tire for your Application

Whether you’re an OEM, a rental company, a dealer or an end user, understanding your operational needs and choosing the correct forklift tire is crucial for maximum efficiency, safety and service life.

Trident offers three types of Solid Forklift Tires each tailored to specific usage cycles and workloads:

Premium Solid Forklift Tires

Engineered for long haul cycles and continuous operations, premium tires are the optimal choice for demanding applications where forklift usage is intensive & duty cycles are up to 18 hours a day. They are recommended for ports, distribution centres, large warehouses, beverage bottling plants, steel plants, foundries, large recycling yards & rental companies.

Standard Solid Forklift Tires

Designed for medium workloads and intermittent cycles, these tires are recommended for operations where forklifts are used for up to 12 hours per day. They are suitable for most general-purpose applications such as manufacturing, medium sized warehouses & logistics facilities that have frequent but non-intensive cycles.

Budget Solid Forklift Tires

Low-Cost Tires made for low intensity applications with light loads and short haul cycles; budget forklift tires are well suited for intermittent operations of up to 8 hours per day. These are best suited for low-frequency usage where tire demands are moderate
