The Essential Guide to Forklift Tire Standards in China

Did you know that forklift tires in China follow a set of national standards to ensure safety, performance, and durability? These standards cover everything from tire sizes to pressure and load capacity. Let’s dive into the key standards every forklift owner or enthusiast should know about:

GB/T 2982-2001: Specifications, dimensions, pressure, and load for industrial pneumatic tires.
GB/T 10823-1996: Series for pneumatic tire rims and solid tires.
GB/T 10824-1996: Details for pneumatic rim solid tires.
GB/T 16622-1996: Series for press-on solid tires.
GB/T 16623-1996: Standards for press-on solid tires.
Interestingly, GB/T 2982-2001 partly adopts international standards like ISO3739 (1992) and ISO10571 (1995) while referencing the 1994 Yearbook of the U.S. Tire and Rim Association (TRA). Similarly, GB/T 10823-1996, GB/T 16622-1996, and GB/T 16623-1996 align closely with the TRA's standards.

These standards provide detailed guidance on tire dimensions, pressure (for pneumatic tires), and load capacity, ensuring forklifts operate safely and efficiently in various industrial settings.
