Automotive
Just-in-time sequencing where a stopped forklift is a stopped line. Precision handling and predictable stability under load.

Applications
Built for Material Handling
Twelve industries. One requirement - equipment that keeps moving.
Every material handling operation stresses a tyre differently. A cold-chain warehouse and a foundry yard are not the same problem, and specifying the same tyre for both is how fleets end up replacing tyres off-schedule.
BFORK and BFORK+ are specified against the condition, not the catalogue. Here is where each line earns its place.
Engineering & Fabrication
Sharp swarf, offcuts and metal debris - the single most punishing floor condition for any tyre that holds air.
Recommended: BFORK+
FMCG
High-velocity picking and dispatch, high cycle counts, clean-floor requirements and non-marking considerations.
Recommended: BFORK
Food Processing & Cold Chain
Wet floors, temperature transitions, hygiene requirements. Traction and consistent behaviour across temperature change.
Recommended: BFORK — Non-Marking tyres also available
Foundries
Extreme heat, uneven yard surfaces, heavy dense loads. Low heat absorption directly protects load capacity.
Recommended: BFORK+
Logistics & Distribution
Dock-to-store movement under time pressure, with detention costs waiting outside for any delay
Recommended: BFORK
Manufacturing
Mixed indoor and outdoor movement between lines, stores and dispatch. Debris on the floor makes pneumatic tyres a recurring cost.
Recommended: BFORK+
Paper & Packaging
Bulky loads, high stacking, long travel between store and line. Stability under raised load is the priority.
Recommended: BFORK+ for heavy reels
Ports & Container Yards
Long travel distances, mixed surfaces, heavy continuous duty. Rolling resistance and wear rate drive the cost per hour.
Recommended: BFORK+
Steel
Heavy sustained loads, high ambient temperature, abrasive surfaces. Heat resistance is the specification that matters most here.
Recommended: BFORK+
Textiles
Continuous indoor movement, lint and fibre environments, long shifts where operator fatigue affects handling precision.
Recommended: BFORK
Warehousing & 3PL
High cycle counts on smooth concrete. Continuous movement, tight aisles, zero tolerance for a Material Handling Equipment out of service during a dispatch window.
Recommended: BFORK / BFORK+ for multi-shift
Downtime Economics
Cost the Stoppage, Not the Tyre
Most tyre decisions are made on unit price because unit price is the only number in front of the person deciding. It is also the smallest number in the equation.
Work out what one hour of stopped material handling costs your operation - labour standing idle, a line held, a vehicle in detention, a dispatch window missed. Then count how many hours you lost to tyre issues last year.
That figure is the real budget for this decision. Solid tyres are how you stop paying it.
