Hyundai Forklift Tyres Durban — Supplied and Fitted Across KZN
Running a Hyundai forklift and the tyres are worn down? We supply and fit replacement tyres for the full Hyundai range out of our Pinetown workshop, and we'll come to your site if you'd rather not drag a machine across town. Solid, pneumatic, cushion — whatever your unit was built to run on, we'll match it.
A quick note before you read on: we're not a Hyundai dealership and we don't pretend to be. We're an independent forklift tyre specialist. What that means for you is that we fit the right replacement tyre for your Hyundai model without the dealer markup, and we've been doing it for KZN businesses since 2008.
Based at 6 Schenk Rd, Pinetown. Phone 031 702 6335. Open during normal business hours, with mobile fitting available across the greater Durban region.
Replacement Tyres for Every Hyundai Forklift Model
Hyundai builds a wide spread of lift trucks, and they don’t all run the same tyre. An electric three-wheeler buzzing around a warehouse needs something completely different from a diesel counterbalance unit working a hardstand yard. Here’s how we approach the main types.
Cushion tyres for electric and warehouse units
A lot of Hyundai's electric four-wheel and sit-down models — the BC-9 and B-9 series, for example — run cushion tyres pressed onto a metal band. These are the indoor workhorses: smooth floors, tight aisles, predictable surfaces. When they wear flat they lose grip and start chattering on turns. We press on replacements to the correct band size and you're back working the same shift.
Solid (resilient) tyres where punctures cost you money
If your Hyundai operates anywhere with debris — a timber yard, a recycling site, a scrapyard, a busy loading dock with the odd nail about — solid resilient tyres are usually the sensible call. They can't puncture because there's no air in them. You give up a little ride comfort for the simple fact that the machine doesn't stop because of a flat. For operations that were losing hours to punctures, this swap pays for itself.
Pneumatic tyres for outdoor and rough-ground work
Hyundai's diesel and LPG counterbalance forklifts working outside often run air-filled pneumatics or solid pneumatics. Air pneumatics absorb the bumps on uneven ground and give the operator a softer ride over a long day. Solid pneumatics keep the same outdoor tread profile but remove the puncture risk. We'll talk you through which makes sense for your ground conditions rather than just selling you whichever we've got most of.
Non-marking options for clean environments
Working in food handling, pharmaceuticals, or anywhere with painted or sealed floors you can't afford to scuff? We supply non-marking versions of cushion and solid tyres for Hyundai units. Same fit, same durability, no black streaks across your floor. If you're not sure which type your Hyundai was specced with, read the markings off the sidewall of your current tyre or check the machine's spec plate. Can't find it? Send us a photo of the worn tyre and the model number and we'll sort it out.
Why ForknTire for Your Hyundai Tyres
We’ve been supplying industrial and forklift tyres out of Pinetown since 2008 — that’s over 16 years of fitting tyres to machines from every major maker, Hyundai included. In practice that experience shows up in the small things: knowing which sizes cross-reference, spotting a worn rim before it ruins a new tyre, telling you straight when a repair will hold and when it won’t.
Being independent is the point, not a limitation. Because we’re not tied to one brand’s parts counter, we source the right tyre for your Hyundai from a proper supplier network and we’re not pushing you toward a more expensive line to hit someone’s sales target. The loader-tyre side of the business runs the same way — we’d rather understand your operation and recommend what actually fits it.
We’re Durban-based and we know the conditions your machines work in. Coastal humidity, dusty inland yards, the heat that builds up in a tyre during a long summer shift — these matter for compound choice and tyre life, and we factor them in.
And we fit, balance and check the work properly. A new tyre on a damaged rim or fitted at the wrong pressure won’t last, so installation is part of the job, not an afterthought.
How Getting Your Hyundai Tyres Sorted Works
Most jobs follow the same straightforward path. No drama, no surprise charges.
Tell us what you've got.
Phone, email or WhatsApp us your Hyundai model and the tyre size off the sidewall. If you can't read it, a photo of the worn tyre does the job. This takes you two minutes.
We quote and confirm fitment.
We check the size against the correct tyre for your machine and come back with a quote and lead time. Common sizes we usually have on hand; less common dimensions we source through our supplier network, typically within a few days.
You choose workshop or mobile.
Bring the machine to our Pinetown workshop, or we send a mobile unit to your premises so the forklift never leaves site. Our mobile units carry common sizes and the gear to do most fits on the spot.
We fit, balance and check.
We mount the new tyres, balance them, inspect the rim for cracks or rust, and confirm pressures on pneumatics. Then we hand the machine back ready to work.
We tell you what to watch.
efore we leave you'll know roughly how long these should last in your conditions and what to keep an eye on, so the next change is planned rather than an emergency.

Our mobile fitting service comes to warehouses, factories and depots throughout the region.

What Hyundai Forklift Tyres Cost
Tyre pricing depends on a few things, so we quote rather than list a single price. The type matters most — a solid resilient tyre and an air pneumatic of the same size sit at different points. Size and the specific Hyundai model factor in, as does whether you’re after new or a good used option for a backup or seasonal machine.
We supply both new and used Hyundai-fit tyres. Used is a sensible cost-saver for occasional-use or standby units, and every used tyre we sell is inspected for tread, sidewall condition and remaining life before it goes out — we’ll tell you honestly what’s left in it.
Send us your size and model and we’ll come back with a clear quote, fitting included, no hidden extras. We aim to turn quotes around quickly so you’re not left guessing while a machine sits idle.
