The steering tire I did have a set of rims made and bought the smallest fork truck wheels I could find. I had to shim the rear weight out just a little and still was able to use the lower bolt. As far as the front goes, I did search for some small truck pneumatic tires and wheels, which is where I ran into a clearance problem hence the trailer wheels. I have used the truck on some heavy loads one that even hovered my steering wheels but most of my loads are under 2000 pounds and with that no problems. However I will say this myself and one other person here are the only one's how operate the truck and I would not recommend doing this in a commercial or industrial setting. It sounds like the guy who originally posted the question may be able to get by with something like this mod
