Businesses operating within the logistics and warehousing industries today require more of their forklifts than simply lifting capacity and power alone;
businesses require flexibility, safety and operator comfort as part of selecting suitable equipment. As warehouses become more compact and storage aisles narrower,
conventional LPG forklifts with longer wheelbases often struggle to meet these challenges.





The FLIFT 2–2.5 ton Cushion Tire Forklift, designed with a short wheelbase and cushion tires,
provides an innovative solution tailored for such environments.

Compared to traditional long-wheelbase LPG forklifts, it features a short wheelbase and solid cushion tires, delivering tighter turning and enhanced maneuverability.
FLIFT’s new generation model combines advanced engineering with international standards, offering upgrades in performance, safety, and durability.

What is a cushion tire forklift used for?
A cushion tire forklift is designed primarily for indoor applications such as warehouses, manufacturing plants, and distribution centers.
With its solid tires and short wheelbase, it offers excellent maneuverability on smooth floors and in narrow aisles.

What is the difference between a cushion tire forklift and a pneumatic tire forklift?
Cushion tire forklifts use solid tires, making them durable, low-maintenance, and ideal for indoor operations.
Pneumatic tire forklifts use air-filled tires, offering better traction on rough outdoor surfaces but requiring more maintenance.



How does a short wheelbase forklift compare to a conventional LPG forklift?
A short wheelbase forklift has a much smaller turning radius (as low as 2100mm for the FLIFT Cushion Tire Forklift), making it easier to operate in tight spaces.
In contrast, conventional LPG forklifts with longer wheelbases require wider aisles and have less flexibility indoors.
