When it comes to indoor material handling, the forklift gets a pretty rough deal. While there are undoubtedly plenty of warehouse operatives who are reading this and thinking they get a raw deal, too...nothing compares to what a forklift truck goes through during its lifetime.
Consistently carrying loads weighing thousands of pounds and often ignored as far as routine or preventative maintenance is caused, it’s amazing how durable these machines are. Check out most aging forklifts and you’ll see dents and dings, missing paint, torn seats and more.But if you really want to see where a forklift bears the brunt of the abuse, check out the tires.
Forklift owners that use their machines indoors usually take advantage of the smooth floors and kit their forklifts out with very durable and long-lasting polyurethane press on tires. When we refer to these tires as durable and long lasting, that doesn’t mean for ever. Even though they are incredibly strong, polyurethane tires are still subject to wear and damage.
Wear
All tires wear, no matter the substance they are made of. Polyurethane and other types of solid tire actually have a wear line that, when reached is an indicator that the tires should be changed.
Damage
Even on smooth warehouse floors, forklift tires can become severely damaged over time. Flat spots in the tires can lead to instability of load carrying, as can tearing or gouging of the tires that occurs from time to time and gradually mounts up.
