Solid polyurethane or rubber are the kinds of materials used to construct cushion tires. They are suitable for indoor applications on surfaces that are smooth. The cushion tire tread is pressed or binded onto the tire's steel ring. Cushion tires are rated ease of steering and for various load capacities. Cushion tires are normally used in warehouse atmosphere.

Pneumatic forklift tires are filled with foam or air. They are offered in two types: radial or bias. Depending upon the application, they come with different tread depths, weight and sidewall protection. Foam-filled pneumatic forklift tires are less prone to punctures and maintain constant pressures. Pneumatic tires are normally used outdoors on surfaces that are rough and uneven.
Pneumatic Shaped Solid/Solid Pneumatic
The comfortable ride that pneumatic tires offer together with the puncture resistance that solid tires provide are the combined features of Solid Pneumatic Hybrid Tires. They are an option to the outdoor pneumatic tire.
Large Rubber and Flotation Tires
Big rubber tires, that can be foam, solid or pneumatic, are utilized on wheel loader forklifts. These tires are best for transporting and loading heavy items onto trucks or into processing machines. Large flotation pneumatic tires are suited for masted rough terrain forklifts usually used at automobile recyclers, lumberyards and construction sites.
