Need durable press-on forklift tires that resist chunking and deliver long wear? This guide summarizes the LAUGFS Press On Tyres datasheet and explains what the brochure highlights—an advanced process that permanently cross-links the rubber compound to the steel band for long-lasting performance, strong wear, and balanced energy efficiency.

Why choose LAUGFS press-on forklift tires?
The datasheet positions LAUGFS press-on tires for demanding applications where you want long-lasting performance, excellent wear strength, and balanced energy efficiency—while avoiding chunking under tough service conditions.
- Long-lasting wear strength for demanding applications
- Balanced energy efficiency to protect operating cost
- Chunking resistance emphasized for severe use
Advanced cross-link bonding process (rubber permanently bonded to steel band)
The brochure highlights an advanced process that permanently cross-links the rubber compound to the steel band. The goal: a durable rubber-to-steel bond built for long service life and stability in high-demand operations.
Tread options (what the size table shows)
The size/spec table includes multiple tread styles and notations, including:
- S (smooth)
- XT
- XT - Semi Track
- D-LUG
- RIB (example: 4.00-9 RIB)
Quick selection tip: Smooth patterns are commonly chosen for clean, smooth floors and predictable contact, while traction / lug / track-style patterns are typically chosen when you need more bite or you’re dealing with more aggressive surfaces.
Sizes & load ratings (use the datasheet chart)
The datasheet includes a detailed table listing:
- Tire designation (inch and metric formats)
- Overall diameter (OD) and section width (SW)
- Load capacity at multiple speed ranges (example groupings: up to 10 km/h, up to 16 km/h, up to 25 km/h) plus static
- Finish weight and container quantity (pieces per 20ft)
How to spec correctly: match your current press-on size format (inch or metric), then confirm the load rating that matches your operation (speed + load use), then select the tread style available for that size in the table.
How to choose the right LAUGFS press-on tire
- If you want clean floor contact and predictable wear: start with smooth (S)
- If you need more traction and surface bite: consider XT / D-LUG / Semi-Track where offered
- If you’re unsure: share your current tire size + application (surface, debris, duty cycle) and we’ll match the best tread option and verify load needs
Want help matching the correct size and tread?
- Equipment type + capacity class
- Current press-on tire size (photo of sidewall markings helps)
- Wheel location (drive / steer)
- Surface conditions (smooth concrete vs abrasive floors vs mixed)
- Priority: longest wear, traction, or reduced chunking
FAQ
What makes LAUGFS press-on tires different?
The brochure highlights a process that permanently cross-links rubber to the steel band, aiming for long-lasting performance, strong wear, and chunking resistance.
Does the datasheet include load ratings?
Yes. The chart lists load capacities at multiple speed ranges plus static load, along with OD/SW dimensions and finish weight.
What tread styles are available?
The table includes multiple tread notations such as S (smooth), XT, XT Semi Track, D-LUG, and RIB (availability varies by size).
