In the 41 years I was in the lift truck business with 3 different manufacturers - I have yet to see a "factory authorized" conversion kit from cushion to pneumatic - other than on 3 wheel electrics. Once upon a time Clark & Allis-Chalmers offer a "hybrid" pneumatic unit that had cushion steer tires as an option - not a real popular unit..
If there was such a thing as a conversion, it was developed by a "shade tree" & not a professional shade tree (did not want to take a shot at proshadetree a good FAC contributor).

Fact of the week
The word "robotics" was coined by Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who first used the word in 1942 in his short story 'Runabout'. He characterised robots as helpful servants and as "a better, cleaner race."
