Class and Capacity Guidelines
Ideal Uses - Loading/unloading tractor-trailer's; handling pallets
Benefits - Electrical means no emissions, minimal noise
Ideal Uses – Operating in tight spaces, handling pallets, picking/storing inventory
Benefits – Can be used to gain more storage space in same warehouse footprint
Ideal Uses – unloading deliveries from tractor-trailers; short runs in smaller areas
Benefits – Rider and walk behind (“walkie”) options
Ideal Uses – Moving Pallets from the loading dock to storage, vice versa
Benefits – Cushion tires great for low-clearance situations
Ideal Uses – Versatile; trucks in this class can handle single pallets to loaded 40- foot containers
Benefits – Mostly for outdoor use, but also indoors in large warehouses
Ideal Uses – Commonly used for the hauling of pulling loads rather than lifting, vice versa
Benefits – Example; Airport “tugger” towing luggage carts
Ideal Uses – Great for lumberyards/construction sites where crews need to lift building materials to high elevations
Benefits – Some are equipped with telescoping mast to provide far greater reach

Assembly Options:
Mold-On
Where the elastomer is molded directly to the mountable hub, providing the quickest and easiest way to install. Hub cannot be reused once the tire wears out.
Press-Fit
Where the elastomer is molded to a press-on rim, which is then factory pressed onto a hub and sold as a single piece. This option has the benefit of quick and easy installation and allows for the hub to be reused when the tire wears out.
Tire Profile and Tread Style Options:
Smooth Crown (SC)
Pros - Best maneuverability and easiest steering
Cons - Lower stability and carrying capacity
Tapered Side Wall (TSW)
Pros - Best carrying capacity, with excellent stability, manuverability, and steering ease
Cons - No known limitations
Straight Side Wall (SSW)
Pros - Highest traction & stability from more ground contact. Typically used in Ultra-Large OD tires.
Cons - Reduced maneuverability and load capacity
Smooth Flat (SF)
Pros - Reinforcement band protects against undercutting caused from uneven loading or overloading
Cons - Slightly lower traction and stability
Tapered Side Wall (TSW)
Pros - Best carrying capacity, with excellent stability, manuverability, and steering ease
Cons - No known limitations
Center Groove (CG)
Allows for heat dissapation, reducing risk of meltdown in long runs applications.
Also available in double center-groove (2CG) & triple center-groove (3CG)
X-Groove (XG)
Reduces hydroplaning in standing water and improves traction on wet floors.
Also available in double X-Groove (2XG)
X-Groove with Center Groove (XG With CG)
Reduces hydroplaning, side slippage, and improves traction on wet floors.
Suitable for medium to high standing water.
Diagonal Groove (DG)
Highest water dissapation, the most effective for wet floor conditions.
Suitable for high standing water. Provides smoother ride than X-Groove.
SuperSiped™ (SS)
Ultra-fine diagonal cuts in the tread surface - best option for damp or icy floor conditions.
Can be combined with other grooving options.
DISCLAIMER: All "Tread Styles" that involve the cutting or the removal of surface material will weaken the tire and increase the likelihood of "chunking". Superior Tire & Rubber Corp. recommends avoiding the use of these types of tread styles unless to solve a specific problem in your application.
