Forklift Tire Guide

Solid vs Pneumatic Forklift Tires: Which Do You Need?

Choosing between solid forklift tires and pneumatic forklift tires depends on your load weight, floor conditions, and duty cycle.

Choose Solid Forklift Tires When:

• Puncture resistance is critical in scrap, construction, or debris-heavy environments.
• Your operation runs long shifts and values uptime over ride comfort.
• You need press-on forklift tires or cushion tires for indoor warehouse use.

Choose Pneumatic Forklift Tires When:

• You run mixed indoor/outdoor routes with uneven pavement.
• Improved shock absorption and smoother ride quality are priorities.
• You need traction in wet yards, gravel, or rough loading areas.
