What are non-marking forklift tires?
Non-marking tires are made to eliminate black marks on the floors. Grocery or food processing plants are required to use them. The biggest disadvantage to non-marking tires is that the carbon black is removed which results in a shorter lifespan of the tire. The use of the non-marking tire in certain climates may require you to use an anti-static strip on the forklift as the tire is prone to cause static electricity. Non-marking tires are available in both solid, pneumatic, and cushion. The colors of the tires may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer but most have gray, white, off-white, and black.
