Regular forklift maintenance involves checking tires and replacing damaged or worn tires. Various kinds of forklifts are intended to be used with particular kinds of tires: polyurethane, solid or pneumatic. Tire types vary depending on things such as duration and frequency of use, load weight and ground surfaces. In order to change a forklift tire you will require the following tools: replacement tires, forklift jack and tire press. Replacing your forklift tires periodically is necessary to help prolong the life of the equipment.
1 Thoroughly check the tires for indications of damage and wear. Make certain that the type of tire on the forklift is the right kind. If the wear on the tire exceeds 40 percent, the tire should be replaced.
2 You must buy replacement or spare tires.
3 Position the jack under the tire and lift the forklift to a height that allows you to take out the tire easily.
4 Take out the old tire by using the tire press to separate the tire from the rim. Replace the tire with the new one and secure tightly. Lower the forklift, then move the jack to the next damaged tire and do the same thing.
5 A damaged tire may be fixed on site by a local repair company. If this is your first call, the repair company may provide a free estimate. If the tires are very large, you will need a stationary tire press. In that case, you should remove the tire and bring it to a repair shop.
