Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 28x9-15 and 28x9-16?
The rim — 15 inches versus 16 inches — and that difference is absolute: a 28x9-15 will not mount on a 16-inch wheel or the other way round. Trucks this heavy are picky about wheel specification, so read the size off the old tyre's sidewall before ordering anything.
Is 8.15-15 the same as 28x9-15 solid tyre?
Yes — 8.15-15 and 225/70-15 are metric names for the same tyre JABIL lists as 28x9-15: a 7.00 rim, about 691 mm overall diameter and 208 mm section width. The metric name does not fit 28x9-16, which runs a 16-inch rim. Quote whichever designation your market uses; the factory ships the same tyre.
Which forklifts use 28x9-15 solid tires?
This is a heavy-duty size for large counterbalance trucks, typically in the 5–6 tonne class and up, including port and heavy warehouse equipment. It appears on both drive and steer positions depending on the truck model.
How much load can a 28x9-15 solid tyre carry?
Reference figures are in the chart above by speed and axle position. At this weight class the drive-axle rating at actual working speed is the number that matters — if your duty cycle sits near the limit, send us the truck data and we will confirm the choice rather than guess.
Why choose solid tyres on a truck this size?
The bigger the truck, the bigger the cost of a flat: a 5-tonne forklift stopped mid-shift blocks docks and schedules, and a pneumatic failure under heavy load is also a safety event. Solid tyres remove the flat as a failure mode entirely, which is why heavy electric and IC forklifts in ports and industrial sites run solids as standard.
Do you supply 28x9-15 as tyre only or mounted on wheels?
Both. Loose tyres for workshops with pressing equipment, or mounted on wheels ready to bolt on. For heavy sizes the pressing work is substantial, so many customers take mounted wheels — ask for both prices in one inquiry and compare.
Can we get OEM branding on this size?
Yes — sidewall markings and packaging under your own brand, factory-direct. This size is common enough that we keep mould capacity for regular OEM customers; the sales team will confirm current lead times with your inquiry.
What is the MOQ for 28x9-15 solid tyres?
Flexible — trial pallets to full containers. Heavy sizes occupy container weight fast, so the practical question is usually what mixes with it. We consolidate sizes in one container routinely; list all the sizes you need and we will plan the load.
How do we start an inquiry?
Send quantity, destination port and the truck brand or a sidewall photo through the quote form. Our sales team replies within one business day with price, schedule and a compound recommendation matched to your working conditions.
