Tyres
Dear customer,
As a supplier we would like to give you an objective overview of the different possibilities that you, as a customer, can choose from when selecting your tyres. Will you opt for pneumatic tyres or solid tyres? Does your company need non-marking tyres or is this unnecessary? For each option we will give you – if possible – both advantages and disadvantages. We will also clarify how you can quickly look up and order your tyres.

1. TYPES OF TYRES
1.1. Pneumatic tyres
Order code: 640 / tyre DIMENSION – followed by brand: e.g.: 640/700x12CONTI
Our standard pneumatic tyres are always delivered as a set: tyre, tube and flap. Please be aware that for Continental, the tube and flap have to be ordered separately. This flap serves as a protection for the tube. It is also possible to order the tube or flap separately at any given time. Pneumatic tyres can be divided into 2 groups:
|
 Cross-ply tyre |
1.2 Solid rubber tyres (cushion – solid – SE – PPS – PSS)
Order code: 650 / tyre DIMENSION – followed by brand: e.g.: 650/700x12SOL
Bozela, however, can also supply you with super elastic solid tyres, that can guarantee you optimal comfort. |
1.3 (Press-on) tyres
Order code: 221 / tyre DIMENSION – followed by brand: e.g.: 221/18x8x12,125SOL
Press-on tyres are available in both rubber and urethane. When the rim consists of a cylindrical steel ring, we talk about ‘Press-on tyres'. When the rim consists of 2 conical compound parts, we talk about ‘Conical' tyres. Tyres (press-on & conical) have gradually become obsolete in favour of solid rubber tyres.

2. QUALITIES
2.1 Profile
For each tyre the appropriate profile can be selected. This depends on the type of surface the truck is used on. The most commonly used profiles are:

2.2 Marking / non-marking
Non-marking tyres are usually manufactured in white rubber. When manoeuvring on polished concrete this doesn't leave any traces/marks. Furthermore no fine, black rubber particles float through the air. These tyres are mainly used in the Food and Optical industry. |
 |
2.3 Static / Anti-static
Lift trucks can be highly susceptible to static, especially during the winter. Electric lift trucks are more sensitive to this than thermal lift trucks. Anti-static tyres can be the solution for this problem.
2.4 Clip tyres
Tyres are normally fitted with locking rings. Another option that is available is the ‘Clip tyre' (Clip-Sit-Quickfit-Loc-Limpet-FIX-Flash). This allows a tyre to be fitted to the rim faster, more efficiently and without locking rings. These tyres cost approximately 5% more compared to standard tyres. ‘Clip tyres' cannot be used on split rims, nor on some types of Japanese rims. |

- Do you wish to combine the advantages of a pneumatic tyre and a solid rubber tyre? You can opt to have your pneumatic tyre filled with polyurethane foam. No risk of punctures yet all the comfort of a pneumatic tyre. This treatment, however, is relatively expensive
