Applicable to most working conditions, especially suitable for uneven, slippery, and bumpy surfaces where traction is required.
The tire tread design uses a classic and unique pattern with deep grooves and blocks, providing excellent shock-absorbing properties, superior slip resistance, improved traction, high wear resistance, and a shorter braking distance.
FAQ
What forklift applications is the SH268A tire designed for?
The SH268A is designed for industrial forklifts operating in challenging conditions, particularly on uneven, slippery, and hilly surfaces where traction is critical. It is suitable for counterbalance forklifts in the 2-5 ton range from Toyota, Linde, Hyster, and Yale. The classic tread design with deep grooves and blocks provides excellent cushioning properties and superior skid resistance, making it ideal for forklifts working in outdoor storage yards, construction sites, and uneven terrain.
How does the SH268A tread design improve traction on slippery surfaces?
The SH268A features a classic and unique tread pattern with deep grooves and blocks that deliver superior skid resistance and better traction on slippery surfaces. The deep grooves channel water and mud away from the contact patch, maintaining grip on wet concrete, muddy surfaces, and oily warehouse floors. The large tread blocks provide multiple biting edges that dig into soft surfaces for positive traction. In outdoor forklift applications across South America, this design ensures safe operation during rainy conditions.
What makes the SH268A suitable for uneven and hilly terrain?
The SH268A is specifically engineered for uneven and hilly terrain through its combination of deep tread blocks and flexible sidewall construction. The deep grooves allow the tread to conform to irregular surfaces, maintaining contact and traction on bumpy terrain. The tire cushioning properties absorb shocks from uneven ground, reducing operator fatigue and protecting the forklift from vibration damage. In applications such as lumber yards, building material centers, and outdoor storage facilities across South America, this tire delivers reliable performance on challenging terrain.
How does the SH268A provide a shorter braking distance?
The SH268A achieves shorter braking distances through its unique tread pattern design that maximizes the contact area during braking. The deep tread blocks create multiple friction edges that grip the surface when brakes are applied, reducing stopping distance compared to standard industrial tires. The tread compound is also formulated to maintain consistent friction characteristics across different temperatures and surface conditions. This shorter braking distance is particularly important for forklifts operating in busy warehouse environments or on sloped surfaces.
How to order SH268A tires for forklift fleets in South America?
To order SH268A tires for forklift fleet deployment in South America, contact our export team with your forklift models and size requirements. Common sizes include 7.00-12, 7.00-15, 8.15-15, 28x9-15, and 250-15. Shipping to major ports (Santos, Callao, San Antonio, Buenos Aires) takes 30-45 days from China. Volume discounts are available for fleet operators. We recommend maintaining a safety stock of 4-6 tires per 10 forklifts in active service.
