When it comes to forklifts, most people will think of the operation of forklifts. Forklifts are very large and heavy transport vehicles, and forklifts have very high requirements on tires. There is a saying in the tire industry: "Three points of use, seven points of nourishment", so how to maintain the rubber solid tires of industrial forklifts to prolong their life? Zhejiang Kunrong Rubber Technology Co., Ltd. Let me tell you how to maintain the rubber solid tires of industrial forklift trucks.





1. Rubber tire selection
It is very important to choose a suitable and correct forklift solid tire. Different types and patterns of tires must not be mixed arbitrarily due to the actual size and load capacity of each tire.
Rubber solid tires
In addition to the need for air pressure maintenance of pneumatic tires, there is no safety/safety hazard caused by tire blowouts. High-quality/high-quality solid tires are much better than pneumatic tires in many aspects, such as cost performance, maintenance-free and longer replacement cycle. Tires: Under the working conditions of moderate working strength, distance and load, solid tires with side holes with higher shock absorption effect are a good choice for better consideration of safety/safety and comfort/comfort.
For forklifts that carry out handling operations in a clean room, it is recommended that you choose light-colored solid tires without imprints, which can greatly reduce the obvious black marks left on the ground when the forklift is transporting loads, especially when turning, stopping and braking.

2. Pay attention to the load index
Forklift solid tires should be within the specified load index
Use within the corresponding load capacity. It goes without saying that the heavier the load on the vehicle, the shorter the life of the tires. Especially in the case of overload, it is more prominent.

3. Pay attention to speed levels
Forklift solid tires should be used within the travel speed corresponding to the specified speed class index. The tires produced by regular solid tire manufacturers are marked with a speed level index.

4. Avoid high temperature road conditions
Excessive temperature can easily aggravate forklift solid tire wear and even puncture. When the vehicle is running, the tire temperature will rise due to the expansion, compression and friction of the tire.

5. Timely replacement
Timely transposition of forklift rubber solid tires, selection of appropriate tread patterns, daily maintenance, regular inspections, timely repairs, and frequent digging of stones and foreign objects in the tread patterns are all important factors to prolong the life of the tire.

6. Regular inspection
Watching for early signs of tire damage can prevent unnecessary tire changes. Check your tires at least once a week. Check items are:
1) Whether the tire surface has metal chips, broken glass or other impurities that can cause early damage to the tire;
2) Check whether there are slight cracks in the tire rubber, early delamination and block loss, to avoid accidents and unnecessary maintenance costs. If found, please remove them in time before use
 
In many cases, don't wait until there is a fault before driving to the repair station for maintenance. Regular maintenance of the vehicle is also closely related to the extension of the life of the rubber solid tires.
