The Ideal Indoor Forklift Tire

The solid, reinforced rubber construction of press-on tires provides stability and durability. You can expect long-term durability with no downtime for indoor environments like warehouses and manufacturing facilities.

Press-On tire features & properties

PREMIUM HEAVY DUTY
A premium natural rubber tire with special additives. This compound was developed to provide the longest service life in the most abrasive applications. Ideal for long distance at high speeds and severe load applications with tight turns. Benefits include lower rolling resistance giving up to 20% longer battery life, low heat build up increasing tire life and superior chip and chunk resistance. This compound will provide maximum shock absorption limiting the impact transferred to the vehicle improving driver comfort and reducing shock related maintenance costs. Can be used on electric and gas trucks. This compound has set the standard that all other premium tires will be judged by.

GREY NON MARKING
A blend of 100% premium natural rubber with hydrated silica’s and special additives. Will not mark floors and thus improve appearance and reduce cleaning maintenance costs. Increase load capacity with high resistance to cutting and chunking. Low rolling resistance will give up to 15% longer battery life. Can be used on electric and gas trucks. Will give the longest tire life of any Non Marking tire.

What it Means
Modulus (p.s.i.) – 300% extension
ASTM D-412
1600 2000 1650 Pressure (psi) to stretch a rubber sample to 300% (3× original length). Higher = stiffer compound.
Ultimate Tensile (p.s.i.)
ASTM D-412
3000 3800 3900 Force required to fracture the rubber—indicates proper mix and cure.
Ultimate Elongation (%)
ASTM D-412
500 500 530 Percent stretch at failure. With modulus & tensile, used to determine optimum cure time.
Resilience (rebound)
ASTM D-2632
30 50 45 Ability to return energy (rebound). Affects rolling resistance & heat build-up.
Durometer (Shore A) 68–70 65–68 67–73 Hardness of rubber. Higher = harder compound; ride quality is directly related.
Tear Strength (lbs/in)
ASTM D-624
340 450 300 Pull required to tear sample; relates to abrasion resistance (chip/chunk/wear). Should exceed 300 lbs/in.
Bond Pull Q.C. (destruction test) 160 170 160 Strength of rubber-to-baseband adhesion. Higher bond helps prevent premature bond failure.
