Wholesale Forklift Solid Tyre Manufacturers

What are the requirements for the storage environment of forklift solid tires?

In modern industrial applications, forklift solid tires are important load-bearing tools, and the stability of their performance is directly related to the operating efficiency and safety of the equipment. Jiangsu Topower Tyre Co., Ltd. forklift solid tires use high-performance rubber formulas and high-strength skeleton materials to show excellent wear resistance, aging resistance and load-bearing capacity. However, the sensitivity of rubber materials to environmental conditions requires us to take scientific storage and maintenance measures to ensure the long-term performance and safety of tires.
Control of temperature and humidity
The storage environment of Jiangsu Topower Tyre Co., Ltd. forklift solid tires is a temperature range of -10℃ to +30℃, and the relative humidity should be maintained between 50% and 80%. Excessive ambient temperature will accelerate the aging process of rubber, resulting in cracks or deformation; while excessive humidity may cause mildew or corrosion, seriously affecting the structural stability of the tire. In order to ensure the achievement of this environmental condition, it is recommended that customers equip large warehouses with thermometers and hygrometers to monitor and record environmental parameters in real time. If necessary, air conditioning or dehumidification equipment should be used to adjust to maintain ideal storage conditions.
Necessity of light avoidance and ventilation
forklift solid tires should be kept away from direct sunlight. Ultraviolet rays will damage the rubber molecular chain, resulting in a decrease in the hardness of the material and a loss of elasticity. Therefore, the storage area should be in a cool, light-proof place, and can be shaded with a blackout curtain or canvas if necessary. At the same time, good ventilation conditions are also essential, but excessive ventilation should be avoided to prevent the intrusion of external pollutants. Jiangsu Topower Tire Co., Ltd. reminds customers not to store tires near heat sources (such as boiler rooms, generator sets) or ozone generating equipment, because high temperature and ozone will significantly accelerate the oxidation process of rubber and shorten the service life of tires.
Keep away from chemicals and oil
Rubber materials are extremely sensitive to chemicals and oil, so the storage area must be strictly isolated from corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis, organic solvents, and oil products such as motor oil and diesel. Oil will penetrate the rubber surface, causing the material to swell, soften or crack. For this reason, it is recommended that customers set up a separate storage area for tires, and the ground should be laid with oil-proof mats and cleaned regularly. In addition, when the tire is stored with the inner tube, the inner tube should be slightly inflated to maintain its shape, and talcum powder should be applied on the surface to prevent adhesion.
Storage method and regular inspection
The storage method of forklift solid tires directly affects their shape and performance. Tires should be placed vertically on the shelf to avoid flat or stacking, especially large forklift tires (such as 16×7×11 specifications) need to be placed in a single layer, while medium and small tires can be placed in double layers, but the stacking height must not exceed the safety limit. Tires stored for a long time should be rotated every two months to change the fulcrum position to prevent local pressure and deformation.
First-in-first-out inventory management
In order to avoid aging of tires due to long storage time, Jiangsu Topower Tyre Co., Ltd. recommends that customers adopt the "first-in-first-out" inventory management principle and store them in batches according to production or storage time. The inventory card should record the tire model, specification, layer, brand and storage time in detail to facilitate subsequent traceability and management. Jiangsu Topower Tire Co., Ltd.'s forklift solid tires have passed ISO, DOT, CCC, ECE and other international certifications to ensure stable and reliable quality, and scientific inventory management is the key to ensuring tire performance.

Why should forklift solid tire wear be detected?

The core threat of wear to safety
The wear of forklift tires not only affects their appearance, but is also an important hidden danger to driving safety. During the use of forklift solid tires, if the tread depth is lower than the safety line, the drainage performance will be significantly reduced, especially on wet or oily ground, which can easily cause the vehicle to slip, thereby increasing the risk of rollover. In addition, uneven wear of tires can cause the vehicle to run off and shake, and in severe cases may even cause the wheel hub to deform or break. Jiangsu Topower Tire Co., Ltd. forklift solid tires use high-strength skeleton materials and wear-resistant rubber formulas. Products such as 16×7×11 specifications have been strictly tested and can withstand high loads and complex working conditions. However, once the wear exceeds the safety range, the tire must be replaced in time. The company recommends that customers check the tire tread depth regularly (monthly) and use professional measuring tools to detect key wear points to ensure that the tires meet safety standards.
The hidden impact of wear on economy
Ignoring tire wear can significantly increase operating costs. Excessively worn tires will increase rolling resistance, which will increase fuel or electricity consumption and accelerate the loss of the transmission system. Data shows that for every 1 mm increase in tire wear, fuel consumption may increase by 2% to 3%. Jiangsu Topower Tyre Co., Ltd.forklift solid tires are known for their low rolling resistance and long life, and their patented formula effectively reduces energy consumption. However, these advantages will be greatly reduced if wear is not treated in time. In addition, abnormally worn tires may cause vehicle failures, such as overheating of bearings or damage to the suspension system, resulting in repair costs far higher than the cost of tire replacement. The company has passed many international certifications such as ISO, DOT, CCC, ECE, etc. to ensure the stability of product quality, but scientific use and maintenance are still the key to reducing long-term costs.
Wear's mandatory requirements for compliance
In many industries such as cold chain logistics, food processing and stone factories, forklift operations must strictly follow safety regulations. For example, the EU EN1757 standard clearly stipulates that the tread depth of forklift solid tires shall not be less than 1.6 mm, and any depth below this standard will be considered a violation. At the same time, China's "Special Equipment Safety Law" also requires companies to regularly test the status of forklift tires and keep relevant records for inspection. Jiangsu Topower Tyre Co., Ltd. forklift solid tires have passed multiple international certifications, and its products meet global mainstream safety standards, but customers still need to conduct regular inspections to ensure compliance. The company can provide test report templates and technical support to help customers improve their safety management systems.
Wear detection technology and methods
Scientific wear detection should combine visual inspection with professional tools. Operators need to observe whether there are cracks, bulges, eccentric wear or foreign objects embedded on the tire surface, and use a depth gauge to accurately measure the tread depth. Jiangsu Topower Tyre Co., Ltd. recommends the "three-point detection method", that is, selecting three measurement points on the tire equatorial plane, shoulder and sidewall, and taking the average value to determine the degree of wear. For companies with a high degree of automation, it is possible to consider introducing laser scanning or 3D modeling technology to achieve digital management of wear data. The company provides testing training and equipment recommendations to help customers establish standardized testing processes to ensure the safety and economy of tires.
