When You Should Replace Your Forklift Tires
Promote safety by checking your tires daily for cuts or gouges and replace them regularly. When a tire has gone through 40% of its tread, drivers and the forklift will experience up to 84% of shock directly due to the tire not being able to effectively absorb it anymore. When your tires have visible damage or have worn through an unsafe amount of tread, it’s time to have them replaced.
If you notice the following, then its time to replace your forklift tires-
Lateral Cracking
- If there are multiple cracks that begin at the tread and begin to breakdown to the bond at 90 degrees
Pitting or Cupping
- Tire has concave indentations in the tire surface
Blow-Outs
- Tire has a molten looking cavity showing
Bond Separation or Base/Cap Separation
- When separation of the tire rubber begins and gives the appearance of the tire rolling off itself
Circumferential Cracking
- If there are cracks running through the tire sidewall and are not a 90 degree angle to the bond line
