Seeking any engineering test data related to shock transmission ratio of solid tires(Pneumatic Shaped Solids) versus standard Pneumatic tires on an 8K capacity forklift. Our forklifts now utilize Pneumatic tires and carry large calibrated items over mulitiple surfaces (gravel, flat concrete surfaces and commercial roads). My company wants to convert over to solid tires due to multiple flats and I am concerned over what the rough ride is going to do to the calibrated items. Does anyone know of any resources that I can review to gather appropriate data? Thanks.....hazmatguy
