Tire handling forks on your forklift are used for lifting tires of all sizes. The blade can be custom shaped (profiled) for the variety of sizes (radiuses) of tires on the market. If used in a tire recycling environment, there will be a variety of types and sizes of tires to be handled. Where the damage to the load is not a priority, you could order a similar fork with a 45° chamfer on the edge of the blade. This is a more economical option.

The blades of the left and right hand fork have a special radius, as specified by the end user, to the top inside edge of each blade. The edges of this radius are finished with soft, round edges, so as not to damage new product.

These forks are usually fitted to the carriage (fork carrier) with bolts. It is imperative that the bolt pattern on the upright of each fork match that of the carrier. The bolt pattern on each fork must be accurate in order to ensure that the blades match each other.
