Factors Influencing the Service Life of Forklift Tyres

 Under a certain tire pressure, the tire is overloaded to increase its deflection and deformation, and the stress of the curtains and cords increases. It is easy to cause the cords at the sidewalls to break, loose and the curtain delamination, and the force of the carcass cords will exceed the allowable stress and tire ground pressure, the heat generated increases, the temperature of the carcass increases, and the load-carrying capacity decreases. At the same time, wear occurs due to the contact between the tire shoulder and the ground, especially when encountering obstacles, even a small stone can cause the tire crown to burst. Due to the different load distribution of the front and rear axles, the different working characteristics of the driving wheels and steering wheels, and the difference in road conditions, the wear conditions of the tires are inconsistent. If the two sides of the same axle are not replaced with tyres of the same factory, the same size, structure, level and pattern, it will accelerate tire wear.

 

The correct use, maintenance and repair of forklift tires are very important to increase the service life of new forklift tires, improve the performance of forklift trucks, and reduce operating costs.

 

High temperature will reduce the tear strength, elongation and hardness of the rubber, reduce the adhesion strength between the rubber and the cord, and accelerate the aging of the rubber. For tires under high temperature, especially aging tires, when side-slip or roll over obstacles occur, it is easy to tear the crown pattern. Due to the aging of the sidewall rubber, cracks and severe deformation of the sidewall result in the separation of the carcass cord from the rubber. Once the tire is locally exposed to sudden loads, it is very likely that a puncture will occur.

 

When forklift tires are corroded by grease, acid-base substances, or high temperature for a long time, the physical and chemical properties of the tires will change, the load-bearing capacity will be greatly reduced, and the tires will easily burst during use. In addition, tires that have been corroded by oil will peel off the air-sealing layer, a small area of rubber in the tire mouth, and the carcass cord and rubber will detach. Road conditions also have a great impact on the service life of forklift tires. It affects the friction between the tire and the ground and the dynamic load on the tire.

What is the Difference between Radial Ply Tyres and Diagonal Tyres?

Image
Nylon Tyre VS Radial Tyre The so-called diagonal tire refers to the tyre whose cords are arranged diagonally, hence its name. The entire carcass is composed of multiple layers of diagonally crossed nylon cords. The tyre crown and sidewall belong to the same ply, which makes the tyre stress concentrated. The deformation of the sidewall is directly transmitted to the tread, leading to unstable ground contact area and poor ground grip. Moreover, the uneven stress on the tyre tread causes serious wear in the middle and short service life of the tyre. In addition, the diagonal tyre is composed of nylon cords with poor thermal endurance. After running for many times in the alternating environment of cold and hot, the nylon cord becomes fatigued, reducing the tensile force and causing a sudden tyre explosion, which poses a great safety hazard. A lot of tyres that seem to be in perfect condition suddenly explode, causing a huge impact on driving safety. Also, diagonal tyre is with high si

What's the Difference between Single Steer Tires and Double Steers Tires?

Image
  Single Steer Tires   Super single steer tyres  is unidirectional with all force. Its tread patterns are in the same direction with a good grip, so it is suitable for cars that often run at high speed. If there is no abnormal tire wear, you only need to switch back and forth on the same side. If one-sided tire wear occurs or the tire has run more than 10,000 kilometers, the tire needs to be switched from left to right.   The sidewall of super single steer tire  are marked with an arrow and a "Rotation" sign. The direction indicated by the arrow is the rolling direction of the tire. You can use this arrow to tell if the tire is reversed. If the front and rear tires are installed upside down, the tires will shake and wear easily when the vehicle is running.   When installing a single steer tire, the combination of tire and hub should also be considered. Install the tire on the wheel hub according to the specific position of the vehicle and the direction indicated by the arrow

So Much is Hidden in the Numbers on Truck Tyres

Image
  So Much is Hidden in the Numbers on Truck Tyres   Carefully observing the obvious position on the sidewall of heavy duty tyres , you would find a line of number + letter symbols similar to mathematical functions, such as 12.00 R20, 11.00 R20, 295/80 R22.5. And these numbers represent the basic information of the tyre. Take 12.00 R20 as an example, where 12.00 represents inch in British system, and 12 inch refers to tyre tread width. The larger the number, the wider the tire tread, hence the larger the grounding area, and the tire's grip will be improved to a certain extent.   The last two digits of 20 corresponds to the wheel hub, which is often called the diameter of the rim, in inches. Generally speaking, the larger the diameter of the hub, the greater its bearing strength. Many drivers who pull heavy loads tend to have larger diameter wheels with a certain thickness.   The letter R represents the type of tire. Most of the tires in the past did not have this letter. In the past
