Keep Your Factory Forklift Tire Press in Good Shape with the Press Master Forklift Tire Press
The forklift is the workhorse in factories, warehouses and many other commercial sites. Always in use, its tires take a beating.
That’s why the Press Master FTP-150 RI Forklift Tire and the FTP-200 RI Forklift Tire Press are one of the most essential pieces of equipment for your business. It makes tire care for your forklifts simple and reliable.
Forklifts carry heavy loads all day long, often thousands of pounds. This naturally leads to wear and tear, like chips and missing paint, dents and dings, seats that are torn, and worn out tires.
Taken for granted, these workhorses often don’t get the preventive maintenance they need. Instead, operators run them until they simply come to a halt, completely worn out.
The tires on your forklifts sustain constant wear and tear from the weight of loads, debris on your floors and the driving skill, or lack, of operators. It doesn’t matter how smooth the floors, the tires will deteriorate over time.
Even highly durable polyurethane forklift tires eventually wear out, which is why they have a wear line indicator. When the tread reaches that point, the tire needs to be changed.
To keep the forklift functional, the tires must be inspected, repaired and replaced regularly. The condition of the tires is what keeps your drivers safe. If they are shredded, uneven or misaligned, the forklift can’t be securely controlled.
Everything from flat spots on the tires to gouges can cause instability. Flat areas make it hard to control the forklift, especially around corners. Gouges or tears in the tires from floor debris lead to unpredictable behavior, reducing the control the driver has.
In North America, over 70% of all forklifts that operate indoors use press-on tires. The right hydraulic tires press can speed up tire work and make it easier to adhere to a preventive maintenance schedule.
The Press Master FTP-200 RI forklift tire press brings 200-ton capacity to the job. Using fingertip control for cylinder activation, it streamlines the job of inspection and replacement.
