FAQ

Forklift Tires FAQ

Here, you’ll find answers to common questions about tire types, maintenance, and replacement, helping you keep your forklifts running smoothly and safely.

What Types Of Forklift Tires Are Available?

Do I Need To Replace All 4 Forklift Tires At Once?

It’s not always necessary to replace all four forklift tires at once, but it’s recommended to replace tires in pairs (both front or both rear) to maintain balance and ensure even wear. Replacing just one tire can lead to uneven wear and affect forklift stability and safety. Consult with a specialist to assess whether a full or partial tire replacement is best for your situation.

How Do I Measure The Forklift Tire Tread?

To measure forklift tire tread, use a tread depth gauge or calipers to check the depth of the grooves in the tire. Place the gauge in the deepest part of the tread and take a reading. If the tread depth is less than the manufacturer’s recommended minimum, typically around 1/8 inch (3 mm), it's time to replace the tires. Regular tread measurements help ensure the forklift maintains proper traction and safety.

Is It Difficult To Replace A Forklift Tire?

Replacing a forklift tire can be a bit challenging, depending on your experience and the tools available. It requires proper equipment like a jack, tire press, and safety gear to safely remove and install the tire. For safety and accuracy, many companies prefer to have trained technicians handle the replacement. Incorrect installation or removal can lead to forklift instability or damage. If you're unsure, it's best to consult a professional.
