POLY DRIVE TIRE, X GROOVE
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BR 28700-101-XGROOVE and when should it be used?
A: The BR 28700-101-XGROOVE is a polyurethane drive tire with cross-groove tread design. Use it on electric lift trucks operating on wet floors, cold storage facilities, or other slippery environments where traction is critical.
Q: How does the X GROOVE pattern improve performance on wet floors?
A: The cross-groove tread pattern channels water and moisture away from the tire surface, maintaining direct contact with the floor. This reduces slipping and improves steering control compared to smooth-tread polyurethane tires.
Q: What equipment brands does the BR 28700-101-XGROOVE fit?
A: This tire is compatible with electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Hyster, Jungheinrich, and other major OEM manufacturers using this bore and width size. Verify your equipment specifications before ordering.
Q: How does the BR 28700-101-XGROOVE compare to the non-grooved polyurethane option?
A: Both are polyurethane with the same durability and load capacity. The XGROOVE adds surface tread for wet-floor traction. If operating primarily on dry floors, the standard BR 28700-101 may provide longer wear life.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the BR 28700-101-XGROOVE?
A: Polyurethane construction typically provides extended lifespan compared to rubber tires. Service life depends on usage intensity, load weight, and floor conditions. Monitor groove depth regularly and replace when worn down, cracked, or separated from the wheel hub.
Q: Can the BR 28700-101-XGROOVE be used in standard dry warehouse conditions?
A: Yes, the tire performs well on dry floors. The groove pattern provides no disadvantage in dry conditions and offers added safety margin in variable moisture conditions without sacrificing performance on dry surfaces.
