What is a rim exchange?

An exchange of forklift rims occurs when Axis Tyres fits new tyres to your forklift. To save time, we have the new tyres already attached to new rims, so that both are fitted to the forklift at once. Then we take the old rims off the forklift and keep them as an exchange for the ones provided.

Why do you need a rim exchange?

By using a specialised service to exchange forklift rims, we minimise the amount of forklift down time you experience. So you can get your forklift back to work sooner.

When is the best time to change forklift rims?

If your rim is damaged or cracked, you are overdue for a change. Cracking rims is a sign that the tyres are well past their renewal due date. After a tyre wears down below the 60J line, its carrying capacity is significantly reduced. With much less rubber left on the tyre, any impact on the wheel transfers to the rim. The rim then cracks under pressure. So, always ask for an exchange before the tire reaches the 60J line.
