Solid Tire Forklifts Become the First Choice for African Mines! The Secret Weapon Reducing Failure Rate by 50%

Date: Jul 04, 2025

In the complex mining operation environment of Africa, solid tire forklifts have become the key to solving the tire wear dilemma! According to the latest industry report, tire damage accounts for up to 37% of forklift failure rates in local projects. Frequent tire blowouts, punctures, and other issues not only drive up maintenance costs but also cause construction delays. The solid tire off-road forklifts launched by Hengwang Group have become the "failure buster" in the eyes of African customers, reducing the failure rate by 50% with their unique design.

Why Do Solid Tire Forklifts Dominate African Construction Sites?

Zero Blowout Risk, All-Weather Stable Operation

The common gravel, sharp tree roots, and high-temperature environment on African construction sites make ordinary pneumatic tires "extremely vulnerable." Hengwang's solid tire forklifts use high-strength polyurethane materials, improving puncture resistance by 300%. They can even drive normally after running over nails, completely eliminating blowout hazards.

Superior Wear Resistance, Service Life Extended by 2-3 Times

The solid tires feature a tread depth of 18mm (ordinary tires only 12mm), combined with a special wear-resistant rubber formula, reducing wear rate by 60% on gravel roads. A South African customer feedback: Under the same working conditions, the solid tire forklift can run for 1,200 hours before replacement, while pneumatic tires only last 400 hours.

Stronger Load Capacity, Adapted to Heavy-Duty Scenarios

Hengwang's solid tire forklifts are standard-equipped with reinforced frames and high-torque engines. The HWCY-35A can easily carry 3 tons of goods, and the HWCY-50A can handle 5 tons of heavy loads, remaining stable on steep slopes and muddy roads.
