Forklift Driver Safety

1. Poor or worn tires can lead to increased worker's compensation cases. Tires that are in need of replacement or that have been ran past they're intended wear bars can lead to driver back fatigue, inability to stop in emergency situations and can lead to workplace accidents.
   
    
2. Tires worn past the safety wear bar can put stress and undue fatigue on the equipment, thereby making repairs more frequent.
   
    
3. Improper rubber or material, mounting and tread can lead to all to often, hazardous conditions. Proper Tire selection is a essential to maintaining any warehouse and job safety compliance. If your business has smooth surface type floors, maybe a solid smooth tire is a better selection than a full traction type tire. If you have chemicals that produce a slick surface, a standard rubber compound traction or smooth industrial tire may slip and provide little or no traction. That's why we think its vital that the company that sells tires needs to be trained and knowledgeable to make sure your getting the right tire for the right application.
   
    
4. Tire companies that  fail to address the OEM specifications of the equipment just provide a "will fit" approach. This can lead to improper wear, performance or worse a industrial accident.
