What do I have and can I do something to make it drive on gravel??

I just picked this up for use around my garage.
It was cheap and I got it running and working just fine.
But it doesn't like my gravel driveway.
Are there different tires available? Or should I sell this one and start over with something that will drive on this kind of surface?
Or option "b" scrape all the gravel down to the dirt in a lane made just for the forklift to go?

An sorry to say but that truck uses a cushion tire you can not change the tires it was built to drive on a hard surface mainly in a wearhouse. What you need is a newmatic forklift to drive outside. Hope this helps.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
