No failures, no stoppages. The right tyre for every forklift.
What is a forklift tyre?
The tyre is the only point of contact between the forklift and the ground — grip, load stability and operator safety all depend on it. There are two main types: pneumatic (air-filled, for outdoor use) and solid (solid rubber, puncture-proof, for warehouses).
How does it help in daily activities?
The right tyre reduces vibration, provides consistent grip under variable loads and eliminates the risk of unplanned stoppages caused by a puncture — an essential advantage for fleets that work non-stop.
Available types
We offer pneumatic tyres for outdoor use, as well as solid Lip tyres (quick fitting, no press) and STD tyres (press-fitted, on a demountable rim), in the Emerald and HandlerKraft brands.
Forklift Tyres in Moldova | Pneumatic, Solid Lip and STD
Forklift tyres in Moldova – 5 ranges, pneumatic and solid
HandlerKraft supplies forklift tyres in the Republic of Moldova: pneumatic tyres for outdoor use and uneven ground, and solid tyres in two designs — Lip, for rims without a locking ring, and STD, for split rims with a locking ring. Sizes run from 4.00 x 8 (pallet trucks) to 300 x 15 (high-capacity forklifts). They suit warehouses, production halls, logistics platforms, industrial yards, building sites and freight terminals — pneumatic where the ground is uneven, solid where the floor carries debris and punctures are not an option.
The catalogue includes 5 ranges from two brands, Emerald (imported) and HandlerKraft (own brand), with prices from 900 MDL depending on size. Some sizes are in stock in Chișinău, and the availability of each size is confirmed in the quote. For any size you receive a personalised quote within 24 hours. Tyres can be collected from the HandlerKraft showroom in Chișinău (șos. Muncești 364) by prior appointment, or delivered anywhere in Moldova; the delivery cost is set individually.

How to choose the right forklift tyres
01Pneumatic or solid
Pneumatic tyres absorb shocks on uneven ground, in industrial yards and on unpaved surfaces, and suit diesel or LPG forklifts working outdoors. Solid tyres do not puncture, even on floors with metal or construction debris, and go on forklifts working in warehouses and halls, including electric ones. For floors that are sensitive to marks, confirm the Mark or Non-Mark variant with our team.
02Lip or STD
Lip fits one-piece rims without a locking ring and needs no hydraulic press, so changing a tyre is quick. STD is press-fitted onto split rims with a locking ring, for maximum hold in intensive use. The two are not interchangeable: Lip tyres are not compatible with rims that have a locking ring.
03Reading the sidewall
Read the marking on the sidewall of the old tyre. In 18 x 7 - 8, the first number is the outer diameter, the second the width and the last the rim diameter, all in inches; in 6.50 - 10 the outer diameter is omitted: the width is 6.50 and the rim 10. The same tyre can appear under two notations, for example 8.15 - 15 and 28 x 9 - 15.
