Non-marking tires are made to eliminate black marks on the floors. Grocery or food processing plants are required to use them. The biggest disadvantage to non-marking tires is that the carbon black is removed which results in a shorter lifespan of the tire. The use of the non-marking tire in certain climates may require you to use an anti-static strip on the forklift as the tire is prone to cause static electricity. Non-marking tires are available in both solid, pneumatic, and cushion.

The 1300 x 24 grader tires used on Lulls, Skytrax, and Gradall are made in non-marking pneumatic. At the present, there are very few manufacturers and shortages are an issue. See similar questions...

The 10-16.5 and 12-16.5 tires do come in non-marking tires. See our Specialty Tires section for pictures. See similar questions...

The truth is there is no clear-cut answer to this question. When replacing a tire you need to consider the ramifications of waiting too long to replace a tire. Each application is different and so each may have a different point where the disadvantages over come any of the benefits of continuing to use a worn tire. The worn out point cannot be determined by the location of the sidewall lettering or center bar, alone. See similar questions...

Grooved tires work well on larger capacity forklifts where loads and operating conditions are extreme. The purpose of the grooves is to release heat in order to prevent tire failure. See similar questions...

The general rule-of-thumb is if the tire contains at least 80% of its tread left, then you will continue to get your money's worth out of the tire and fill. No, it doesn't. The tire's carrying capacity will remain the same according the manufacturer's specifications.. For golf carts used in plant operations, you can switch the wheels and tires for solids. The cost is inexpensive since the solid tires will last three times longer than foam fill. See similar questions...

No, not all solid and press on tires can be mounted in the field. The mobile press has height and width limitations. The larger forklift tires will have to be brought in and mounted on a large stationary press. See similar questions...

No, this is physically impossible due to the frame differences between a solid tire forklift and a forklift with pneumatic tires. See similar questions...

Truck tires are made for over-the-road commercial trucks and forklift tires are made and designed for forklifts. Installation of truck tires are not approved by OSHA. There is a difference in the design for a reason. Although they will fit on the forklift wheel, truck tires are not made for material handling purposes. No forklift manufacturers approve of using truck tires on a forklift. See similar questions...

It depends on how often you use it, how heavy your loads are and whether you only run it on smooth surfaces such as concrete or outside on gravel or uneven surfaces. As a general rule, when there is less than one inch from the lettering on the tires to the top of the tires, it is time to change the tires. Remember than changing tires can actually reduce fatigue on the transmission of your forklift as well as operator fatigue. See similar questions...

Smooth tires give better traction on dry surfaces and can give you more rubber for the dollar spent. If you have moisture problems, the traction tire is the better fit. The front of the forklift (drive) does all the pulling and the back (steer) axle is nothing more than a free wheeling tire. The steer can use smooth or traction as it makes no difference.

You can move solid tires to the front of the lift and air to the back or air to the front and solid tires to the back. You must run the same type of tire on the opposite sides, drive and steer axles. See similar questions...

Most reasons for spinning are covered in the tire failure section, however, one way to help stop some of the spinning is to make sure that the solid pneumatic tires you are buying have wire beads in the base to eliminate spinning. The wire beads are built into the tire base and when pressing, they expand as they go onto the wheel and after pressing they snap into place and tighten the bond between wheel and tire.

YES he certainly is. your sister's peke is a VERY DOMINANT male and is making sure he marks territory so all other dogs will know he is the boss . Not much you can do about his dominancy except neuter him , and this will slow him down a bit but at his age (5 yrs) it will never completely stop him. Sorry i didnt mention. the diaper is used only when we visit family members homes. In the period of an hour , he marks everything(or shall i say attempts too). See similar questions...
