Refurbishment of Forklift Wheel Bands or the Entire Wheel
Pumacas leads the way in the quest for sustainability throughout all industries as we approach a new era. The replacement of old or worn tyres and wheels clogs up landfills, but with Pumacas’s refurbishment service, you can upcycle your forklift wheels professionally and efficiently which will save time, money and contribute to a healthier environment. Pumacas is dedicated to reducing its carbon emissions and will continue to find more environmentally friendly ways of producing industrial tyres.
The need to refurbish and replace both polyurethane and rubber tyres is governed by good working practices and health and safety. Warehouse trucks working indoors on smooth concrete floors require tyres of good quality with no tread (smooth/plain). As there are no obvious markings on many of the tyres it is essential that good maintenance is carried out so that worn tyres can be replaced.
Trucks such as stand on pedestrians or reach trucks fall into this bracket. Pumacas specialise in the refurbishment of these products and have the extended support of being able to offer bespoke compounds. Yard trucks are usually using either solid or pneumatic rubber tyres. A worn tread is often a good indicator of when tyres need replacing. Wheel damage can occur in everyday use. Pumacas also offer an extensive range of all-wheel types.
Refurbished wheels can assist you in returning to work safely. Every refurbished wheel goes through a full inspection to meet the highest safety and performance standards. The Pumacas refurbishment program offers superior performance at affordable prices and we constantly ensure a higher level of quality during the refurbishment process.
Defective parts are replaced and cosmetic damage repaired and specific components are automatically replaced to meet these strict standards. These refurbishments are completed in several ways, always maintaining safety as a priority, including new bearings and seals which can be fitted and a new compound for bonding wheels that is a more durable option for future use.
