Thombert Press-On Tire 13 x 4.5 x 8 for Crown – 10350 AO

Thombert builds this 13 inch press-on forklift tire in Dyalon A polyurethane, a compound chosen for the load capacity and controlled wear an electric lift truck needs across a hard shift. The tire measures 13 inches in outside diameter and 4.5 inches across the tread, riding on an 8 inch inside mounting diameter that presses onto the wheel. Polyurethane bonded to a steel press-on band gives a solid, non-pneumatic body that carries rated load without the flat risk of an air-filled tire, and it wears evenly rather than chunking under the cornering a warehouse floor demands.

Mounting is a hydraulic interference fit: the steel band is pressed onto the wheel, and the 8 inch bore is what holds it there. Thombert documents this tire to Crown electric lift trucks, so it goes on as a like-for-like poly replacement. Because the fit is an interference press, the mounting bore has to match the wheel it seats on; measure the band diameter on the wheel coming off before pressing this one on, since an undersized or oversized bore will not seat correctly. Forklifts Etc. supplies it as a smooth-tread poly tire ready to press.
