Complete Forklift tyre range - We stock a full range of quality tyres and budgets to suit different handling applications. Barloworld works with one of Europe's leading tyres manufacturers Continental to ensure availability of the best quality tyre alternatives. Choosing good quality tyres over budgets is recommended in many applications since they last longer, offer lower rolling resistance, reduce fuel consumption and help improve safety. All our tyres are very competitively priced.

Best choice of tyre compounds - Forklift tyres are normally either pneumatic (air-filled) or solid (resilient or press on band). Pneumatic tyres particularly help absorb bumps and vibrations found on rough terrain. This provides increased comfort to the driver as well as reducing the risk of damage to the forklift and load. Solid tyres are better suited to indoor applications or where there is a high risk of tyre damage and puncture. Their construction offers reduced maintenance and low rolling efficiency on smooth surfaces. Certain tread compounds can maximise traction in cold store environments or be non-marking for use in operations that require extremely high levels of hygiene, such as food or chemical manufacturing operations. Anti-static tyre compounds are specified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres to prevent static ignition and other compounds are specified to reduce excessive heat build up which can make tyres slippery. Barloworld can give you all the advice you need. Contact us now for further information and a quote.
