Forklift tires come in three types: cushion (press-on) for smooth indoor floors, pneumatic for outdoor and rough terrain, and solid-pneumatic for puncture-proof use. Size is matched to truck capacity — a 2t-class lift typically runs 7.00-12, a 3t-class runs 28x9-15. Always confirm by the size molded on your existing tire.
ForkliftIQ supplies aftermarket forklift tires and wheels compatible with all major brands — Heli, Hangcha, EP, Toyota and more — sourced factory-direct from verified suppliers including the 85,000-SKU Anhui Leading catalog. Send your size or capacity for a fast parts quote.
Tire types and sizing
Cushion (press-on) tires mount on a steel band and press onto the wheel — ideal for electric forklifts on smooth indoor floors. Pneumatic (air-filled) tires suit outdoor and uneven yards, while solid-pneumatic tires share the pneumatic profile but are puncture-proof for mixed-duty fleets.
Size is matched to the truck's load capacity. As a guide, a 2-tonne-class forklift commonly uses a 7.00-12 tire and a 3-tonne-class uses 28x9-15. Capacities outside this range vary by model and mast — contact us for a full sizing chart against your truck.
How to identify the right part
The fastest path is the size code molded into the sidewall of your existing tire (e.g. 7.00-12 or 28x9-15). Match that exactly, and note whether your wheel uses a press-on band or a split-rim assembly, since the two are not interchangeable.
If the markings are worn, send us a photo of the old tire and wheel plus your forklift make, model and capacity. We cross-reference against the 85,000-SKU parts catalog to confirm the correct replacement before you order.
Brand compatibility
These are quality aftermarket replacements compatible with Heli, Hangcha, EP, Toyota and other major makes — they fit the original specification but are not OEM-branded. We supply both press-on and split-rim wheels with matching tires.
Certifications including ISO 9001 and SGS are available on request. Orders ship FOB or CIF worldwide with a typical 4-6 week lead time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my forklift tire part number or size?
Read the size code molded on the sidewall of your current tire, such as 7.00-12 or 28x9-15. If it's worn off, send a photo plus your forklift make, model and capacity and we'll identify it.
Can you cross-reference a tire from another brand?
Yes. We cross-reference against an 85,000-SKU parts catalog to match aftermarket equivalents for Heli, Hangcha, EP, Toyota and most major brands. Send the old size or a sidewall photo for confirmation.
