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 models are compatible with the SH268B tire?
The SH268B is designed for industrial forklifts in the 2-5 ton range, compatible with Toyota, Linde, Hyster, Yale, Nissan, and Komatsu models. It is particularly effective for forklifts operating on uneven, slippery, and hilly surfaces where traction is essential. The classic tread design with deep grooves and blocks provides excellent cushioning properties, superior skid resistance, and better traction compared to standard industrial tires.
How does the SH268B compare to the SH268A for forklift applications?
The SH268B shares the same classic tread design philosophy as the SH268A but with optimized tread block geometry for different load distribution characteristics. While both tires excel on uneven and slippery surfaces, the SH268B offers slightly different tread block spacing that may be better suited for specific forklift models or operating conditions. Both tires feature the same deep groove design for superior traction, skid resistance, and shorter braking distances. The choice between them depends on your specific forklift model and typical operating surface.
What is the expected service life of SH268B in demanding forklift operations?
The SH268B delivers competitive service life in demanding forklift operations, typically lasting 2,000-3,500 hours depending on operating conditions. The deep tread pattern provides excellent wear resistance, maintaining traction and cushioning properties throughout the tire life. In outdoor applications with rough surfaces, the wear-resistant compound helps extend service intervals. Regular tire rotation and proper inflation can extend service life by 15-20%. The tire is also retreadable for additional service cycles.
Can the SH268B handle both indoor and outdoor forklift operations?
Yes, the SH268B is versatile enough for both indoor and outdoor forklift operations. Indoors, the tread design provides stable operation on smooth concrete floors with good traction in wet or oily conditions. Outdoors, the deep grooves and blocks deliver the traction needed on gravel, mud, and uneven terrain. For forklifts that transition between indoor warehouses and outdoor loading areas, this tire provides reliable performance in both environments. The cushioning properties also help protect loads during indoor operation.
