Frequently Asked Questions
What are pneumatic industrial tyres and when should they be used?
Pneumatic tyres are air-filled and provide a cushioned ride with strong traction across rough or uneven ground. They absorb shock, reduce vibration, and improve handling, making them ideal for construction sites, farms, and other outdoor environments. However, they require regular maintenance to ensure correct pressure and are more prone to punctures in debris-heavy areas. Keeping them inflated properly extends performance and tyre life.
How do I correctly measure and select a replacement pneumatic tyre?
Check the size markings on the tyre’s sidewall. Two common formats exist:
• Example 1: 4.10/3.50–4″
4.10 = Tyre width (inches), 3.50 = Sidewall height (inches), 4 = Rim diameter (inches).
Total diameter = 3.50 + 4 + 3.50 = 11.0 inches.
• Example 2: 18 x 8.50–12″
18 = Overall diameter (inches), 8.50 = Tyre width (inches), 12 = Rim diameter (inches).
If markings aren’t visible, measure the overall diameter, width, and rim size manually with a tape measure.
How should I maintain pneumatic industrial tyres?
Maintain correct air pressure, inspect regularly for punctures or damage, and clean with mild detergent to prevent degradation. Consistent maintenance improves safety, extends tyre life, and reduces downtime caused by unexpected failures.
How do I replace a hand truck or trolley wheel with a pneumatic tyre?
Replacement depends on your trolley’s axle type. Wheels may be secured with a cotter pin, bolt, or push-fit. Since fittings differ between equipment types, contact a specialist or supplier for compatibility advice before purchasing replacements.
What are the ideal applications for pneumatic industrial tyres?
Pneumatic tyres are versatile and suitable for many industries:
• Warehousing & Logistics – stock carts, hand trucks
• Manufacturing & Workshops – tool trolleys, mobile benches
• Retail – smooth and quiet stockroom transport
• Agriculture & Landscaping – barrows, trailers, powered equipment
Their cushioning and traction make them ideal for varied or uneven ground.
How does a pneumatic tyre’s tread pattern affect its performance?
Tread design influences traction, rolling resistance, and durability:
• Ribbed – straight grooves for reduced rolling resistance, best on smooth floors.
• Diamond – cross-pattern for grip and debris handling, suited to outdoor and loose surfaces.
• Industrial (R-4) – balanced design for traction and wear resistance, used on mixed surfaces such as farms.
Selecting the right tread improves safety, handling, and tyre longevity.
