Choosing the Right Forklift Tire Type

Solid vs Pneumatic Tires

  • Solid (Resilient) Tires: Puncture-proof and low-maintenance, ideal for indoor or debris-heavy environments.
  • Pneumatic Tires: Offer cushioning for outdoor or uneven surfaces, improving comfort and reducing shock loads.

Trelleborg Tires provides both, engineered for stability, traction, and durability.

When to Choose Polyurethane or Press-On Tires

  • Polyurethane Forklift Tires: Best for smooth floors, electric forklifts, and high-load indoor applications where low rolling resistance and minimal downtime are priorities.
  • Press-On Tires (Solid): Perfect for clean, controlled environments that demand long life and low maintenance.

Reduce Floor Damage and Vibration

Trelleborg’s non-marking compounds and optimized tread geometry prevent floor scuffs, while vibration-reducing designs improve driver comfort and precision handling, even during long shifts.

Trelleborg Tires offers a full portfolio designed for all forklift classes and working conditions:

  • Solid Resilient Tires – XP800, XP1000: Premium load-bearing and puncture-resistant performance for electric and IC forklifts.
  • Solid Press-On Tires – PS1000: Long life, wear indicator (Pit Stop Line), and comfort in compact, high-intensity indoor settings.
  • Pneumatic Tires – TR-900, T-800: Enhanced stability, shock absorption, and traction for outdoor use.
