Forklift trucks and Telehandlers are essential workhorses in many industrial settings such as warehouses, distribution centres and factories. The choice of tyres used, whether pneumatic or solid rubber resilient products, needs to be carefully selected for the type of vehicle and the working environment in which operations are carried out.
The Fork Lift Truck Association recommends that pneumatic tyres must have a minimum of 1mm of tread over 75% of the tread around the complete circumference. Solid tyres may be used until they are worn to the wear indicator, also known as the 60J line.
