SALES@FORKLIFTTIRE.COMCushion Press-On Forklift Tire Sets
Shop bundled cushion press-on forklift tire sets built for forklifts that use cushion-style press-on tires. These pages are designed for buyers who want a matched replacement set instead of shopping individual tire sizes one at a time.
Most products in this category are organized as 4-piece sets with 2 drive tires and 2 steer tires, built around common size pairings used on cushion forklifts.
Who These Sets Are For
This category is designed for forklifts that operate on smooth indoor surfaces such as warehouse floors and concrete.
- Choose a set if you are replacing all tires on the truck
- Choose a set if you want matched sizes for drive and steer positions
- Choose individual tires if you only need one position or one size
Rubber Cushion Press-On Sets
Products in this section focus on rubber cushion press-on tires designed for forklifts that use cushion-style hubs and wheels.
Standard Black Rubber
General warehouse and industrial use. The most common compound for cushion forklifts operating on concrete and smooth surfaces.
Non-Marking Rubber
Used where floor marking must be avoided — food facilities, pharmaceutical, clean-floor warehouses, and regulated environments.
Important: Cushion press-on tires are used on forklifts built specifically for indoor warehouse use and require press-on installation. These tires are bonded to a steel band and must be installed using a press.
Built Around Common Drive and Steer Pairings
These bundle pages are organized around common drive-and-steer size combinations, allowing you to shop a full replacement set without piecing together individual sizes.
This makes it easier to match your current configuration and move directly to the correct set for your forklift.
Common Equipment Makes
Cushion press-on tire sets in this section are commonly used on certain Toyota, Hyster, Yale, Clark, Crown, Mitsubishi, Caterpillar, Komatsu, and UniCarriers forklifts that use cushion-style tire fitment.
Equipment make alone does not confirm fitment. Tire size, wheel configuration, and construction type must match your forklift.
Need Individual Tires Instead?
If you are shopping for single cushion press-on tires by size instead of full sets, visit our Cushion Rubber Press-Ons category to browse individual size pages and available tire options.
Looking for polyurethane press-on tires instead of rubber cushion? Visit Polyurethane Press-Ons for poly compound options.
Before Ordering
Before ordering, always confirm:
- Your current drive tire size
- Your current steer tire size
- That your forklift uses cushion press-on tires (not pneumatic)
- Wheel or hub compatibility
- Whether you need black or non-marking rubber
Verify exact tire size and fitment before ordering. If you are unsure which set matches your forklift, contact us for help.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cushion press-on forklift tire?
A cushion press-on forklift tire is a solid rubber tire bonded to a steel band that presses onto a cushion forklift wheel using a hydraulic press. These tires are designed for electric and LP forklifts operating on smooth indoor surfaces like warehouse concrete. They are different from pneumatic tires, which are air-filled and used on outdoor or rough-surface forklifts.
What is the difference between cushion and pneumatic forklift tires?
Cushion tires are solid rubber press-on tires built for smooth indoor surfaces. Pneumatic tires are air-filled tires designed for rough outdoor surfaces. Cushion forklifts sit lower to the ground with a tighter turning radius, making them better for warehouse use. Pneumatic forklifts ride higher and handle uneven terrain. The two tire types are not interchangeable — your forklift is built for one or the other.
Should I buy a tire set or individual tires?
Buy a set if you are replacing all drive and steer tires at once — sets bundle matched sizes together for a simpler ordering process. Buy individual tires if you only need to replace one position or one size. For individual cushion press-on tires by size, visit Cushion Rubber Press-Ons.
What is the difference between black rubber and non-marking tires?
Standard black rubber cushion tires are the most common compound for general warehouse use. Non-marking rubber tires use a lighter-colored compound that does not leave black scuff marks on floors. Non-marking tires are required in food processing, pharmaceutical, and other clean-floor environments where floor marking is not acceptable.
How do I know if my forklift uses cushion or pneumatic tires?
Look at the tires currently on your forklift. Cushion tires are solid rubber pressed directly onto flat-base wheels — there is no air, no inner tube, and no tread pattern. Pneumatic tires are larger, air-filled tires mounted on split-rim or lock ring wheels with visible tread. If you are unsure, check your forklift model number or contact us for help.
What forklift brands use cushion press-on tires?
Cushion press-on tires are commonly used on certain forklifts from Toyota, Hyster, Yale, Clark, Crown, Mitsubishi, Caterpillar, Komatsu, and UniCarriers. However, equipment make alone does not confirm fitment. Always verify your exact tire sizes and wheel type before ordering.
