8.00-16 (800x16) Forklift Tires

The 8.00-16 forklift tire is a heavy-duty drive tire size commonly used on large internal combustion forklifts operating in lumber yards, construction supply yards, steel yards, ports, and outdoor material handling environments.

This size is typically installed in the front drive position on higher-capacity forklifts requiring increased load support and outdoor traction.

Typical Heavy-Capacity Configuration

Drive (Front): 8.00-16
Steer (Rear): Varies by truck configuration and capacity rating

Always confirm your existing sidewall markings, ply rating, and wheel specifications before ordering.

Available Construction: Pneumatic Tube-Type (TTF)

8.00-16 forklift tires are typically bias construction pneumatic tube-type (TTF) tires requiring:

• Tire
• Inner tube
• Liner flap

These air-filled tires provide:

• Shock absorption on uneven yard surfaces
• Improved traction on gravel and asphalt
• Load support for higher-capacity IC forklifts

Ply ratings may vary (e.g., 14PR, 16PR, 18PR), with higher ply ratings offering increased durability and load capacity for demanding outdoor operations.
