Understanding 28x12-15 Tire Options
28x12-15 forklift tires are wide-section drive tires commonly installed on larger internal combustion lift trucks operating in heavy industrial, yard, and outdoor environments. The increased section width provides a broader contact patch for improved load distribution, traction, and lateral stability under demanding lifting conditions.
This size is typically selected for applications requiring higher load capacity and enhanced stability compared to narrower 15-inch rim options.
Pneumatic Tube-Type (TTF) 28x12-15 Tires
28x12-15 pneumatic forklift tires are bias construction, air-filled tires requiring a tire, inner tube, and liner flap (TTF). Designed for load handling and durability, these tires provide cushioning and shock absorption across gravel, asphalt, concrete, and mixed industrial surfaces.
Ply rating (PR) varies depending on manufacturer and availability. Higher ply ratings generally provide increased durability and enhanced load-carrying capability in heavy-duty applications.
Because they are air-filled, pneumatic tires offer versatile performance but remain susceptible to punctures in debris-heavy environments.
Resilient Solid (RS) 28x12-15 Tires
28x12-15 resilient solid forklift tires are flat-proof alternatives to pneumatic tube-type tires. Constructed entirely of solid rubber in a full pneumatic profile, RS tires eliminate flats while maintaining consistent load stability and reduced maintenance requirements.
Resilient solid tires are available in:
-
Standard Black Rubber — Durable compound suited for heavy outdoor and industrial environments.
-
Non-Marking Rubber — Grey, white, or cream compounds designed for clean warehouse environments and regulated operations where floor marking must be avoided.
While resilient solid tires provide maximum uptime and flat-proof reliability, they offer a firmer ride compared to air-filled pneumatic tires.
Selecting the Right 28x12-15 Tire
Choosing the correct 28x12-15 forklift tire depends on load requirements, operating terrain, floor marking considerations, and tolerance for downtime. Compare available ply ratings and compound options below to determine the best configuration for your equipment.
