Is it better to use solid tire or hollow tire for electric forklift?
As we all know, car’s tires are hollow, so many buyers will default that electric forklift ‘s tires are hollow. In fact, many buyers have not noticed that the tyres of electric forklift are divided into solid and hollow ones. So, which tire is better, safer, and more efficient? Now, the electric forklift manufacturer will tell you the difference between the two types of tires of electric forklift.

Generally speaking, the factory standard configuration of electric forklift tires is hollow, and hollow tires are more common than solid tires. What are the advantages of hollow tyres? Its price is more affordable, it is not easy to damage the ground, its mute effect is better, it is lighter, it saves energy, and its shock absorption effect is better. Moreover, its repair and maintenance will be easier. However, it is not perfect. The electric forklift manufacturer told us that under the condition of complex road conditions, uneven ground and many foreign matters, it is very easy to be damaged, difficult to drive, and even may have a flat tire.
Although hollow tyres are commonly used for electric forklift, solid tyres have their meaning since they exist. Solid tire also has many advantages. It can be better used on rough roads where hollow tire is difficult to drive. It is explosion-proof and has stronger load-bearing capacity. If you work on complex road conditions, it will be safer to use a forklift equipped with solid tires, and the probability of tire blowout is very low. However, because of less application, its price is higher than hollow tire. In addition, the electric forklift manufacturer told us that if it works on smooth ground, it will produce some noise, and it is not as sensitive as hollow tires.

Although hollow tire of electric forklift is more widely used, it has both advantages and disadvantages. Although the application scope of solid tire is small, there are still many unique advantages that cannot be replaced. As for how to choose, enterprises need to consider comprehensively according to your own needs, budget, operating environment and other factors.
