18x7-9 Solid Tyre FAQs
Which forklifts use 18x7-9 solid tyres?
18x7-9 serves 2.5–3 tonne counterbalance trucks. It is easy to confuse with 18x7-8 — the last digit is the rim diameter, and 8 and 9 inch rims are not interchangeable. The sidewall marking settles it.
What rim does a 18x7-9 solid tyre require?
The rim size is in the specification table above — and it matters, because solid tyres only deliver their published load ratings on the correct rim. If you are unsure what your truck runs, send us the equipment brand and model and we will confirm before you order.
Are non-marking 18x7-9 tires available?
Yes. The light-grey non-marking compound suits food, pharmaceutical, electronics and retail floors where black scuffs are unacceptable. Non-marking rubber trades some wear life for the clean-floor property — tell us the site and we will say honestly which side of that trade you should take.
What load can a 18x7-9 solid forklift tyre carry?
Load depends on speed and axle position — the chart above gives the reference values. Check the drive-axle figure at your site's actual top speed rather than the headline maximum. If your duty cycle sits between two ratings, send us the truck data and we will confirm the safe choice.
What is the MOQ for 18x7-9 solid tyres?
Flexible — trial quantities of one or two pallets through to full container loads. Importers usually start small to test wear on their own trucks, then consolidate mixed sizes into one container for wholesale pricing. Share your quantity and destination for a firm schedule.
Which forklift brands does the 18x7-9 size fit?
18x7-9 is a standard industrial size, so it fits the equivalent position across Toyota, Komatsu, Hyster, Linde, Mitsubishi and most Chinese brands. The reliable check is always the size moulded on your current tyre's sidewall — match it and the fitment is correct.
What compounds can I choose for 18x7-9?
Standard black abrasion-resistant rubber covers most indoor and yard work; non-marking suits clean-floor sites. Beyond those, being the factory means we can adjust compound for heat, oil exposure or heavy debris — a flexibility you do not get buying off a distributor's shelf.
How are 18x7-9 solid tyres shipped?
Loose on pallets or mounted on wheels, in LCL or full containers, export packed. We ship worldwide and quote to your port — tell us the destination and preferred terms (FOB/CIF) with the inquiry and the sales team will structure it.
