Loader Tyres for Every Application
What We Supply
Loaders work in diverse environments, from smooth warehouse floors to rocky quarries. The tyres you need depend on where you operate and what you’re moving. We supply loader tyres for various applications, including wheel loaders, front-end loaders, backhoe loaders, telehandlers, and skid steer loaders.
Your loader faces specific challenges. Construction sites mean debris, sharp objects, and uneven surfaces. Quarries add abrasive rock and harsh aggregate. Agricultural operations involve soft ground, mud, and seasonal conditions. Warehouse and industrial environments need non-marking tyres that won't damage floors whilst providing stability for material handling.
We work with you to understand your operation. A wheel loader moving aggregate in a quarry needs different tyres from those handling bulk materials in a warehouse. A backhoe splitting time between road travel and site work has different requirements from a loader that stays on one site. Tell us what you're doing, and we'll recommend loader tyres that actually suit your work.
Why Choose ForkNTire for Loader Tyres in Durban
Over 16 Years of Specialised Experience
We've focused on industrial and construction equipment tyres since 2008. That's over 16 years helping businesses across South Africa keep their loaders running. This experience gives us real insight into what works in different applications and conditions.
You won't get a quick sale and goodbye from us. We take time to understand your equipment, your operation, and your challenges. Then we recommend loader tyres based on your actual needs, not just what's easiest to supply.
Local Knowledge of Operating Conditions
Based in Pinetown and serving clients throughout KwaZulu-Natal, we understand the conditions your loaders face. We know the terrain, the weather patterns, and the specific demands placed on equipment in this region. We're familiar with the abrasive materials in local quarries, the challenging soil conditions on farms, and the requirements of construction sites throughout the area.
This local knowledge helps us recommend loader tyres that perform reliably in your actual working environment, not just in ideal laboratory conditions.
Quality Tyres Without Inflated Prices
Loader tyres represent a significant operating cost for your business. We help you get better value through competitive pricing on quality products. Our relationships with manufacturers and suppliers mean we can offer genuine quality tyres at prices that make sense for your operation.
We don't compromise on quality to achieve lower prices. Every loader tyre we supply meets strict standards for performance and reliability. You get tyres built to handle your operating conditions from manufacturers who stand behind their products.
Fast Response When You Need It
Loader downtime costs you money. A stationary wheel loader means delays, frustrated operators, and projects falling behind schedule. We respond quickly to enquiries and maintain stock levels that allow us to supply commonly used loader tyres without lengthy waits.
For urgent requirements, call us directly on 031 702 6335. We'll check availability and work to get your loader back in operation as quickly as possible.
Our Loader Tyre Range for Durban Operations
Skid Steer Loader Tyres
Skid steer loaders put unique demands on tyres through their zero-radius turning and side-loading during operation. We supply skid steer tyres built to handle these specific stresses whilst providing traction and reasonable tyre life.
Skid steer tyres come in pneumatic and solid options. We help you choose based on your operating environment, load requirements, and maintenance preferences.
Front-End Loader Tyres
Front-end loaders often work in construction, landscaping, and agricultural applications where they encounter varied terrain and mixed conditions. We supply front-end loader tyres with tread patterns suited to these diverse environments.
These tyres need to provide traction on soft ground, resist damage from debris and sharp objects, and deliver stability when carrying loads. We source front-end loader tyres that meet these demands whilst offering reasonable tyre life.
Wheel Loader Tyres
Wheel loaders need tyres that balance traction, stability, and load capacity whilst operating in demanding conditions. We supply wheel loader tyres for various sizes, from compact loaders to large production machines.
Our wheel loader tyre range includes options for different applications. Rock and quarry patterns offer enhanced cut resistance and heat dissipation for aggregate handling. General-purpose patterns provide good all-round performance for mixed applications. Smooth patterns suit warehouse and indoor use, where floor protection matters.
Wheel loader tyres come in different ply ratings and constructions. We help you choose based on your load weights, operating surfaces, and expected tyre life requirements.
Backhoe Loader Tyres
Backhoes are versatile machines that often travel on roads between sites and then work in challenging conditions. They need tyres that handle both applications. We supply backhoe loader tyres with tread patterns designed for road travel and site work.
Backhoe tyres typically feature aggressive tread for traction during digging operations, reinforced construction for site debris, and tread designs that allow reasonable road speeds. We can supply matched sets or individual tyres for front or rear positions.
Industrial Loader Tyres
Industrial loaders operating in warehouses, factories, and distribution centres need tyres that won't damage floors whilst providing stability and long life. We supply industrial loader tyres, including non-marking options for environments where floor protection is important.
These tyres are designed for smooth surfaces, long operating hours, and continuous use. They offer different load ratings and constructions to suit various industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions About Loader Tyres in Durban
Expert Answers to Common Dumb Truck Tyres Questions
These designations indicate tread depth and intended application. L2 tyres have smooth or minimal tread designed for hard, smooth surfaces with light-duty service. L3 tyres feature standard tread depth suitable for general construction and normal service. L4 tyres offer extra-deep tread for severe service in abrasive conditions like rock quarries. L5 tyres provide the deepest tread for extreme service in the most demanding applications with sharp rock. We help you choose the right pattern based on your operating conditions and economic considerations.
Replace loader tyres when tread depth reaches the minimum safe level for your application, damage exposes cords or structural components, sidewalls show bulges, cracks, or significant cuts, irregular wear affects stability or performance, or tyres show signs of heat damage or separation. Regular inspections help identify problems before they cause failures or safety issues. We can provide guidance on inspection procedures and replacement criteria specific to your operation.
Yes. We source tyres for various loader models including older equipment. If your loader uses less common tyre sizes, our supplier network helps us locate suitable options. Provide us with your current tyre specifications or equipment details, and we'll confirm availability and pricing. Sometimes we can suggest alternative tyres that fit your equipment and offer improved performance or better value.
We arrange professional fitting and can organise on-site tyre changes for loaders, particularly useful for large equipment or operations in remote locations. On-site service helps minimise downtime and eliminates the need to transport heavy equipment. Contact us to discuss your requirements, equipment size, and location. We'll arrange appropriate fitting services for your situation.
Multiple factors influence how long loader tyres last including operating surface conditions, load weights and distribution, operating speeds and cycle times, inflation pressure maintenance, operator technique and driving habits, ambient temperatures, and the abrasiveness of materials being handled. With proper maintenance in typical applications, you can expect 2,000 to 5,000 hours from quality loader tyres depending on these factors. We provide guidance on practices that extend tyre life and improve value.
Pneumatic tyres offer better ride comfort, improved traction, and lower initial cost. They're suitable for most applications but require maintenance and can be punctured. Solid tyres eliminate punctures and require no inflation maintenance, making them ideal for environments with sharp debris. However, they cost more initially, provide a harsher ride, and may reduce machine performance. We help you evaluate which option makes more sense for your specific application and operating conditions.
