How to Measure Forklift Wheels for Replacement

Many people ask how to measure forklift wheels, especially when they want to purchase new polyurethane tires or refurbish worn-out ones. Here's a simple guide to help you:

1. Measure the Outer Diameter: Begin by measuring the outer diameter of the tire, which is the distance across the wheel's widest part.

2. Measure the Inner Diameter: Next, measure the inner diameter, which is the diameter of the hole in the center of the wheel where the wheel hub fits.

3. Measure the Width: Finally, measure the width of the wheel from side to side.

These measurements will help you find the correct wheel size. You can also refer to the technical data of the forklift model, where the wheel information is typically listed in terms of outer diameter and width, as shown in the illustration below
