8.00G-12 rim for forklift rim Linde

Forklifts use 8.00G-12 rims primarily to meet the high load-bearing, stability, and safety requirements of material handling operations.
1. High Load Capacity of 8.00G-12 Rims
Forklifts are required to lift heavy loads, placing extremely high demands on the rim's load capacity. The 8.00-inch width ensures adequate support for the tire bead, evenly distributing the immense pressure from the load. Furthermore, these rims are typically constructed of high-strength steel, providing a sturdy structure that can withstand the shock and torque of frequent starting, stopping, lifting, and turning.
2. Enhanced Machine Stability
Forklifts often operate in cramped environments, requiring frequent turning and high-lift operations. The smaller 12-inch rim diameter helps lower the forklift's overall center of gravity. Combined with wider tires, this significantly improves the machine's stability during cornering and lifting, effectively reducing the risk of rollover.
3. Compatible with Solid Tires
This is one of the most critical reasons. Forklifts often use solid tires to avoid the risk of downtime caused by punctures. These tires are very rigid and difficult to install. The G-shaped profile and the common split rim design (composed of multiple components, such as a locking ring and retaining ring) were developed to address this problem. They securely lock the solid tire to the rim, ensuring it won't fall off during operation, significantly improving safety.
In short, the 8.00G-12 rim, with its specific size and design, perfectly meets the core requirements of forklifts for load capacity, stability, and safety, making it a critical component for ensuring efficient and safe forklift operation.
