Forklift Tire Replacement
On-site forklift tire replacement — pneumatic and solid press-on. We come to your warehouse or job site and get your lift running same day.
A forklift on flat tires is a forklift that doesn't move. Orders back up, dock labor stalls, and you're looking at real money in lost warehouse throughput while a shop truck figures out their schedule. We come to your facility, bring the press for cushion tires, and handle both pneumatic and solid configurations. Common warehouse sizes — 28x9-15 for sit-down counterbalance forklifts, 7.00-12 for smaller 3,000-lb units — we stock both. Cushion tires need a hydraulic press to install; we have one on the truck. Most warehouse calls wrap up in 2–3 hours, start to finish, without your forklift leaving the dock.

Calls We Get Every Week
Warehouse dock down during peak
Your sit-down counterbalance forklift at a Sanford distribution center has a flat 28x9-15 pneumatic tire during a morning peak receiving window. We come to the dock, handle the swap on-site, and your receiving crew is back in 2 hours.
Solid cushion tire worn flat
Your 5,000-lb cushion-tire forklift has worn its solid tires to the steel core and is vibrating badly. We bring the hydraulic press to your Orlando facility, press off the old cushion tires, and press on new ones — no transport required.
Multi-lift fleet service
A logistics company in Volusia County needs three forklifts serviced: two with pneumatic flats and one with worn cushion tires. We come out and handle all three in one visit.
Common Forklift Tire Replacement Questions
What's the difference between cushion and pneumatic forklift tires?
Cushion (solid press-on) tires are for smooth indoor surfaces — warehouses, distribution centers. Pneumatic tires are air-filled and used for outdoor forklifts, rough terrain, and loading docks with gravel surfaces. We handle both.
Do you have the press equipment for solid cushion tires?
Yes. Cushion tires require a hydraulic press to install — they're pressed onto the steel rim, not inflated. We bring the press to your facility.
What are the most common forklift tire sizes?
For sit-down counterbalance forklifts, 28x9-15 is the most common pneumatic size. Smaller 3,000-lb units often run 7.00-12 or 6.50-10. Solid cushion sizes vary by manufacturer.
How long does it take to replace forklift tires on-site?
A pneumatic tire swap typically takes 45–90 minutes per tire. Solid cushion tires take longer due to the press operation — plan for 2–3 hours per machine for a full set.
Can you handle a fleet of forklifts in one visit?
Yes. If you have multiple lifts that need service, we schedule the visit accordingly and handle them in sequence. Larger fleets can be done in one day or over multiple scheduled visits.
