Polyurethane Options — SPS vs. Hyload
SPS (Soft Ride) — softer 85A durometer compound with enhanced shock absorption. Preferred where the forklift crosses between indoor and occasional outdoor surfaces.
Hyload — harder 98A durometer compound with higher load capacity and the longest tread life. Best for heavy-duty, smooth-floor warehouse work.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 21x9x15 mean?
Overall diameter (21 inches) x section width (9 inches) x press-on hub bore (15 inches).
Should I choose rubber cushion or polyurethane?
Rubber cushion is the standard for most indoor applications and costs less. Polyurethane is non-marking and lasts significantly longer in high-cycle, hard-floor environments, but rides harder and performs best on smooth, flat surfaces.
Do I need special equipment to install a press-on tire?
Yes. Press-on tires are installed with a hydraulic press that presses the bonded steel band onto the wheel hub. Most operations have this done by a local tire service or dealer.
