06 / PROCUREMENT GUIDE
Start at the floor.
Protect the whole route.
Tyres connect every load and steering input to the operating surface. The right direction depends on floor condition, route, duty, speed, gradients and machine configuration.
01 / DECISION POINTS
Four details.
One connected choice.
Review these points together before comparing models or accepting a configuration.
Surface condition
Smooth concrete, damaged floors, gravel, mud and mixed surfaces place different demands on traction and ride.
Load and duty
Heavy loads, long routes, speed, turning frequency and operating hours influence heat, wear and comfort.
Clearance and dimensions
Tyre choice can affect ride height, clearance and overall geometry. Confirm it as part of the machine configuration.
Maintenance plan
Consider inspection, damage risk, replacement availability, inflation routines where relevant and local service capability.
02 / BUYER METHOD
Turn the requirement
into evidence.
A structured brief reduces assumptions and makes technical and commercial comparisons easier to verify.
- 01
Walk the route
Photograph joints, ramps, dock plates, debris, wet zones and indoor-outdoor transitions.
- 02
Describe the duty
Share load, distance, hours, speed expectations, turns and gradients.
- 03
Confirm the tyre package
Ask for tyre type, size, wheel arrangement and compatibility with the selected model.
- 04
Plan inspections
Define routine checks for damage, wear, pressure where applicable and trapped debris.
03 / SEND WITH YOUR ENQUIRY
Six inputs
for a clearer answer.
Measurements, photos or drawings are useful where the load or route cannot be described precisely in words.
Prepare this enquiry- Floor and outdoor surface photos
- Indoor, outdoor or mixed use
- Load and travel distance
- Maximum gradients
- Debris, moisture and temperature
- Preferred tyre type if specified
04 / PRACTICAL ANSWERS
Questions buyers
should ask early.
Are solid tyres suitable for every surface?
No. Surface, speed, distance, load, vibration and clearance should be reviewed before choosing a tyre direction.
When are pneumatic directions considered?
They may be considered for suitable outdoor or uneven routes, subject to the model, load, surface and maintenance plan.
Can tyres change forklift clearance?
Yes. Tyre and wheel configuration can affect ride height and geometry, so confirm ground clearance and overall dimensions.
What photos are useful for tyre selection?
Send the roughest areas, ramps, joints, dock plates, wet zones, debris and transitions between surfaces.
