No one tyre fits all applications, and each forklift tyre plays a different role in resistance. That’s why it’s essential that you choose the right one for your business’ needs.

At TCM, we understand that forklift tyres can make up around 12%-15% of the total cost of owning a truck, so it’s crucial to ensure your tyres are fit for purpose to guarantee longevity.

We use a variety of tyres for our forklifts, including Xtreme and Magnum tyres. These tyres are extremely resilient and ideal for long runs and medium to high-intensity applications.

Softer tyres are best for high manoeuvrability, while harder tyres are more suitable for high-intensity applications that require more resilience.

Your working environment also plays a large part in identifying which tyres are best for your forklift fleet. An indoor environment requires something clean, which typically means a silicone-based compound. For outdoor usage, solid rubber tyres are more suitable and used for our counterbalance truck range.

By purchasing forklift tyres directly from one of our local dealers, you can ensure they’re 100% compliant with current regulations.

If your wheels aren’t genuine, there’s no guarantee they’re fit for purpose. Poorly fitted or lower quality tyres could cause heat, friction and increased vibration, which can shorten the life span of many component parts. The increased vibration could also cause discomfort to the operator and potential damage to the load, so it’s vital to get this right.

Your local TCM dealer will manage all tyre applications and fittings, with a 3-5 day turnaround. This maximises uptime and ensures your fleet remains efficient.
