Is that a PC euphemism for tires with air in only the top side? Jim, a semi-pneumatic tire is a relatively conventional tire filled with (usually polyurethane) foam, so it exhibits most of the qualities of a pneumatic tire while being nearly puncture-proof. I just looked up "solid pneumatic" as it applies to forklift tires. Ig wasn't incorrect, nor using the term differently. It refers to SOLID tires mounted on pneumatic rims that have (supposedly) the same compression and flex characteristics of the same-sized pneumatic tires (for that application), but which - being solid - are totally- immune to punctures.

I already have 2 15,000 forklifts so not sure if I need the third one. A lot of variables need to be considered and I am still deciding. I wanted to expand my business somewhat in the coming months. i |

But I am a little puzzled by "solid pneumatic tires". I through that they were either solid (rubber) or inflated with air (pneumatic), but I may be mis-informed. They are solid, but made of soft rubber inside, so they act like pneumatic tires and provide better cushioning. In forklifts, "Solid Tires" refer to hard rubber tires that are only suitable for use on hard surfaces. Solid pneumatic tires can drive on compacted dirt. (not on fresh soil) i Is that exactly it or are they foam filled penumatics? I had a scissor lift at one time that had tires that looked like they belonged on an ATV. They were heavy ply pneumatics that had been foam filled. It worked well on hard pack and decently on turf. They would get torn up rather quickly on asphalt or concrete, so I had a second set of the regular white rubber hard tires I used most of the time. These are factory made solid pneumatic tires, Solideal brand Ya, but the wheels, you need to paint them Black. Maybe just took the picture before you finished? Mikek |
