FAQ
Which heavy forklift models are compatible with the SH288 tire?
The SH288 is designed for heavy-duty forklifts in the 5-12 ton capacity range, compatible with Toyota, Linde, Hyster, Yale, and Komatsu heavy forklift models. Its strong and dense tread pattern with deep treads ensures a long service life in demanding industrial applications. The reinforced bead construction provides excellent handling and driving safety under heavy loads or during sharp turns. This tire is ideal for steel service centers, concrete pipe yards, and heavy manufacturing facilities across South America.
How does the SH288 compare to the SH278 for heavy forklift applications?
The SH288 shares the same reinforced bead construction and triple protection features as the SH278 but with an optimized tread pattern for slightly different load distribution characteristics. Both tires feature strong and dense tread patterns with deep treads for extended service life. The SH288 tread pattern may offer better performance in specific applications such as concrete product manufacturing or steel handling. The choice between SH278 and SH288 depends on your specific operating conditions and forklift models.
What is the wear resistance of SH288 in continuous heavy-load operation?
The SH288 delivers outstanding wear resistance in continuous heavy-load operation through its combination of deep tread depth and wear-resistant compound. The strong and dense tread pattern ensures even wear across the contact surface, preventing premature wear patterns that can occur under heavy loads. In applications such as steel coil handling and concrete pipe loading where tires are under constant stress, the SH288 maintains its tread integrity and traction throughout its service life. Typical service life ranges from 3,000-5,000 hours.
How does the reinforced bead of SH288 improve handling during sharp turns?
The SH288 reinforced bead construction provides superior handling during sharp turns by maintaining a secure tire-to-rim connection under lateral stress. When heavy forklifts make sharp turns, significant lateral forces are transmitted to the bead area. The reinforced construction prevents bead unseating and tire slippage on the rim, ensuring predictable handling and operator control. This is particularly important in congested warehouse environments where frequent maneuvering is required. The reinforced bead also extends tire life by preventing bead damage from impacts.
