Forklift truck running and drive wheels Drive wheels for (non-electric) forklifts and handling equipment are prone to wear since they are covered in polyurethane. A worn drive wheel does affect how smoothly a vehicle can maneuver.

What is a drive wheel on a forklift?

Many warehouses and supermarkets employ polyurethane forklift drive wheels on electric stackers, forklifts that move forward, and forklifts with restricted lanes.Forklifts are front wheel drive. The front wheels drive while the rear wheels steer.
They can also be utilized for low speed, high load vehicle and equipment transmission at airports, docks, industrial and mining settings.

1 Travelability of forklift drive wheels: Wide tires give the vehicle a better sense of stability when managing at medium to high speeds, and they also make the steering wheel feel better.

2 Forklift drive wheel cornering capability. Wide tires considerably increase the rigidity of the tires, which reduces the deformation of the cornered tires and improves vehicle tracking and emergency reaction margin.

3 Forklift drive wheels' braking performance is improved because of the tires' greater rigidity, which also reduces tire deflection during braking and increases braking stability.
A reduced stopping distance can be achieved because the braking effect can be more fully communicated to the road surface.
