Forklift tire replacement standard
The typical lifespan of forklift tires for normal use is 4-5 years. Because the rubber on the tread will age over time, even if the wear on the tread is minimal after 5 years, it is best to replace it. And many small cracks are the cause of tire blowouts. Because the service life of forklift tires varies depending on the rubber formula, driving environment, and driving habits. So this requires drivers to be more attentive while driving, as forklift tires can also have signs of aging. For example, the aging of the tire surface usually starts from the edges such as the tire edge or shoulder, and temporary exposure to sunlight and rain can cause small cracks to appear on the rubber surface in circles. These cracks indicate that the load-bearing capacity and quality of forklift tires have begun to decline. In order to reduce the risk of tire blowouts, it is best to replace them in advance.
Besides aging. Please indicate the real-time wear condition of this forklift tire. For forklift tires without wear marks, they can also be measured with calipers (or specialized forklift tire tread gauges). Forklift tires also wear naturally, so forklift companies mark the wear limit on the tire sidewall before leaving the factory. Forklift tires with a groove depth below 1.6 millimeters cannot be used anymore because their drainage and puncture resistance will significantly decrease. In addition, if a forklift tire has been repaired three or four times, the forklift company recommends that you replace it with a non drive wheel or rear wheel to reduce the risk of tire blowouts.
How to replace forklift tires
1. Park the forklift on a flat and hard road surface, turn off the engine, and place the forklift in an unloaded state.
2. Lower the fork to the ground and use the parking brake device to stop the wheels. If replacing the drive tire, support the jack on the front side of the frame. If replacing the steering tire, support the jack in the center of the rear axle bracket.
3. Lift the forklift slightly with a jack to keep the tires in contact with the ground; First, loosen the bolts that secure the inflation tube, remove the clamp, and then loosen the wheel hub nut.
4. Use a jack to fully support the car, unscrew the wheel hub nut, and remove the tire.
5. The installation sequence is opposite to the disassembly sequence. When installing the wheel hub nut, the tightening torque must reach the specified value.
Attention: After installation, check whether the tire inflation reaches the specified value. After running for a short distance, check whether the bolts in each part are correct.
