Safety | Not just a Tire

Going Beyond the Tire with Safety

Happy National Forklift Safety Day! Forklift safety is something to keep in mind throughout the entire year, but with the help from the International Truck Association (ITA), we can utilize this day as a reminder and learn something we didn’t know about forklift safety along the way. Throughout this week, ITA will be connecting with policymakers and government officials in improving forklift safety laws while manufacturers and dealers will be taking the opportunity to retrain their forklift operators. Did you know though that forklift safety extends far beyond the people involved but to the equipment itself? The tires we use on our forklifts can make a huge impact on safety. 

 A tire is not just a tire when it comes to the safety of your employees.

 Why?
In today’s fast paced economy, products are being shipped out faster than ever before with shorter and shorter delivery times. Material handlers are expected to keep up causing them to move towards harder tires. Harder tires can better handle speed and load capacity, but they compromise on ergonomics and safety. Harder wheels transfer ride vibrations to the operator and decrease the vehicle’s effectiveness with steering, traction, and braking. Stellana believes there is a better way than a compromise.

 It is our belief that the safest and best tire for an application is the softest tire that meets the load requirements.

 Load Requirements = Total Weight x Speed x Up-Time

 Instead of creating good, better, and best tires that focus only on load requirements, Stellana creates a tire line made of only the best and differ based on the environment and material handled. We have a tire available perfect for produce and freezers applications with high traction. We also have a tire fit to carry chemical or acidic hazard materials; just to name a few. Below is a tire material selection guide to get you started in choosing the right tire for your needs.

How many days a week do packages arrive at your household? For some of us, you could even ask how many times a day do packages arrive at your house? Buying habits and expectations have been changing for some time now, and these trends are forcing warehousing and manufacturing operations to adapt. There is little to no room for downtime, and forklift wheels and tires play a crucial role in keeping things moving during the seasonal peaks and shopping holidays such as Cyber Monday. Current Climate in the World of Ecommerce Ecommerce trends are making order fulfillment more complex. In general, consumers are placing smaller orders more frequently.

Six Questions to Determine the Polyurethane Tire You Need­­ When it comes to tires, we can agree that they are round, and they roll. So, selecting the right one should be pretty straightforward, right? If you have read our Picking the Right Poly post, you probably know that more thought must go into this process.
