Cushion Tyre Forklifts For Sale in United Kingdom

About Cushion Tyre Forklifts

Cushion tyre forklifts feature what are sometimes referred to as press-on tyres that are made of solid rubber attached to a metal ring. They differ from pneumatic models that have tyres either made of solid rubber or filled with compressed air. They are also most commonly used for indoor applications on smooth terrain, whereas pneumatic forklifts are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications and on uneven terrain.

These machines typically run on gas, LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), and diesel, but some are fully electric-powered. Smaller models may have maximum lift capacities as low as 1,300 kilograms, whereas higher-capacity models may be able to support loads of up to 45,000 kilograms or more.

Features & Common Applications

Cushion tyre forklifts are often less expensive and have longer lasting tyres because they operate on even terrain free from potentially damaging debris. They are typically lower to the ground and smaller than other types of forklifts, which makes them well-suited for operating in tight spaces, like between shelves and around pallets. That’s why you’ll see them at work in warehouses, factories, and manufacturing facilities as well as serving in the food processing and retail industries. Although designed primarily for indoor use, some cushion tyre forklifts can be used sparingly in flat, outdoor spaces as well.
