How to replace steer tires in older 3-wheel

We have an older Crown SC30 3-wheel, electric, counterbalance forklift and we need to replace the steer tires (the dual tires in the back of the unit, under the battery). Dumb question: how do we access these steer tires? Do we need to remove the battery to get to them? I am really stuck in here.... Thanks.

Thanks. I usually have to jack forklifts only a couple of inches to change a tire. Looks like I have to lift this one almost a foot up to access the tire from underneath. Not a good design...

Jack up the back and put put hardwood blocks to support it. Then pull the axle shaft out and out come the wheels.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
