Forklift cushion tires are made of more rubber (than pneumatic ones), offering the rider a safe and comfortable ride. The extra rubber prolongs the life span of these type of tires. Forklift cushion tires fit into a small frame, making it easier for an operator to maneouver their lift. This allows a forklift to be easily navigated between narrow aisles. However, the traction of forklift cushion tires are inferior to that of pneumatic ones, when used in an outdoor context.
