LPS forklift tires

Our forklifts tend to drag in a lot of dust/dirt from outdoors. The dirt settles on the product which is unacceptable to customers. It is not feesible to dust products. Staffing and workload demand also doesn't allow floor sweeping as often as used to.

Are there tires availabe for indoor/outdoor use that do not drag that much dirt.

We run more relativelyl new (1-3 years old) Yale and Toyota LPS lifts.

Showing items 1 - 3 of 3 results.
one do a clean sweep of the place
designate outdoor and indoor units
indoor try to use electric as they have 0 emissions and no dust in the radiator to blow all over
oudoor use lpg since they can operate in the rain i always reccomend pnuematics unless your driveway is in perfect condition
(i always see using electrics in the rain is kinda like watching your new flatscreen tv in the rain)
some manufacturers offer weather proofing options for electrics
swap pallets at the door (staging area)
i service a fencing company (inj molding) that uses this setup and their productions/storage area remains clean

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
