11.25-25/2.0 rim for forklift rim Universal

Forklifts choose 11.25-25/2.0 rims primarily for load capacity, stability, and adaptability to specific operating conditions.
Large-tonnage forklifts (especially port container forklifts, forklifts, and reach stackers) are required to move dozens of tons of containers or cargo.
The 11.25-inch width is sufficient to support large tire sizes such as 14.00-25 and 16.00-25, ensuring they maintain deformation and bead unseating under heavy loads. The 2.0-inch flange thickness withstands high impact, ensuring secure bead lock and preventing tire blowouts or bead unseating during operation.
Forklifts constantly shift their center of gravity during lifting, stacking, and transporting. The wide-base design (11.25 inches) provides a larger tire contact patch, improving vehicle stability when fully loaded and cornering, and reducing the risk of tipping over.
Operating environments such as ports, mining areas, and steel mills are often subject to high temperatures, salt spray, and gravel impact. 11.25-25/2.0 rims are often constructed of thickened steel with an anti-corrosion spray (gray coating), providing enhanced impact and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor and heavy industrial environments.
Most 11.25-25/2.0 rims feature a 3-piece or 5-piece construction (consisting of the rim body, flange, locking ring, and side rings).
Compared to single-piece rims, split rims facilitate quick on-site tire removal and installation, minimizing downtime due to tire damage.
The appropriate rim specifications maximize tire performance (load capacity, grip, and wear resistance), ensuring safe and efficient forklift operation during frequent stacking, turning, and high-intensity handling operations.
