4.00-8 (400x8) Forklift Tires

Understanding 4.00-8 Tire Options

4.00-8 forklift tires are commonly installed on smaller internal combustion forklifts operating in warehouse, light industrial, and mixed-surface environments. This size is often used in matched front and rear configurations and must be selected based on load requirements and rim specifications.

Pneumatic Tube-Type (TTF) 4.00-8 Tires

4.00-8 pneumatic forklift tires are bias construction, air-filled tires requiring a tire, inner tube, and liner flap (TTF). These tires provide cushioning and flexibility, allowing forklifts to absorb shock and roll over light obstructions in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Ply rating (PR) varies by manufacturer and availability for this size. Higher ply ratings generally indicate increased durability and improved load support.

As air-filled tires, pneumatic 4.00-8 options provide versatile performance but remain susceptible to punctures in debris-heavy environments.

Resilient Solid (RS) 4.00-8 Tires

4.00-8 resilient solid forklift tires are flat-proof alternatives to pneumatic tube-type tires. These solid rubber, pneumatic-shaped tires eliminate flats while maintaining consistent load stability for internal combustion lift trucks.

Available compound options include:

• Standard Black Rubber — Durable compound suitable for outdoor or heavy-duty use.

• Non-Marking Rubber — Grey, white, or cream compound designed for clean warehouse environments and sensitive operations.

Resilient solid tires offer increased uptime and reduced maintenance compared to air-filled tires, with a firmer ride profile.

Selecting the Right 4.00-8 Tire

Selecting the correct 4.00-8 forklift tire depends on operating conditions, load capacity, floor marking requirements, and downtime tolerance. Compare available ply ratings and compound types below to determine the best fit for your equipment.
