Cushion tires are made of smooth solid rubber and are fitted around a metal band. They are cheaper to manufacture and easier to maintain, but cushion tires do not get the same level of traction as a pneumatic tire, particularly outdoors.
Q: On what condition are cushion or solid tires best?
A cushion tire will give you better traction on a dry surface, but they do not work well in moist environments. You can use cushion tires for light outdoor use on asphalt surfaces. Because cushion tires have a lower clearance than pneumatic, they are unable to maneuver over rough surfaces.
Q: What is the most popular forklift type in the market today?
Counterbalance forklifts are the most popular model of forklift.
Q: What are cushion tires on a forklift?

More Reasons to Choose an Electric Forklift Electric forklift benefits also include less emissions, less heat and less noise. All of these factors improve the quality of your warehouse space, making it more comfortable for your employees. Reduced emissions are a factor in better employee health and safety.
Q: Can you put pneumatic tires on a cushion tire forklift?
Our forklift manufacturers build forklifts to operate safely with specific wheels and tires. You'll often be able to switch from smooth cushion to traction cushion, or pneumatic to solid pneumatic tires, but it is rare you can go from a cushion tire to a pneumatic tire and vice versa.
Q: Are cushion tires pneumatic?
Some of the most common tire types for forklifts are cushion tires, air-filled pneumatic tires, and solid pneumatic tires. These options are suited for different conditions and jobs. Unlike a traditional car or truck tire, cushion tires are made of solid rubber that is then fitted around wheel.
