Forklift tire chains

Intella offers a complete range of for pneumatic and solid shaped pneumatic forklift tires.  They’re also referred to as snow chains. Getting tire chains for your forklift helps your forklift tires grip better.   If you have a forklift that operates in the snow, installing tire chains will reduce spinning and improve traction. However, our tire chains are suitable for pneumatic tires on forklifts.  They won’t work on cushion tired forklifts.

Q: How can you tell if you have a forklift with cushion tires or pneumatic tires?

A: There are many ways to figure out which kind of tires you have on your truck. First of all, if your tires have a valve stem on them, you have pneumatic tires.

A: If you have an electric (battery powered) forklift and you are in North America, you probably have cushion tires and our forklift tire chains won’t work.  There are some exceptions but 95% of electric forklifts sold in North America have cushion tires not pneumatic tires.

A: If you have pneumatic shaped tires (solid rubber tires, but with a size like 700:12, 600:9, etc), our WILL work.  These are not cushion tires but what we call in the industry as ‘solid pneumatics.’

An example of a forklift with pneumatic tires is below:Solid Skid Steer Tires

If you want to eliminate constantly repairing tire punctures, tears, and leaks, you need solid skid steer tires.
