The 300×15 — or 3.00-15 in standard notation — is a narrow-profile solid tyre built for a very specific type of forklift. If your reach truck, narrow-aisle machine, or order picker is on 3.00-15 tyres, GP Forklifts has GP Solid stock in Johannesburg ready to go. It’s a specialist size, and we know exactly what it fits.
Unlike the wide, squat tyres on counterbalance forklifts, the 3.00-15 is tall and narrow — designed for machines that operate in tight aisles where tread width matters as much as load capacity. At 3 inches wide on a 15-inch rim, this tyre is built for vertical reach rather than lateral stability. You’ll find it on:
These machines operate in some of the most constrained environments in warehousing — high-bay racking systems where millimetres matter and tyre condition directly affects both reach accuracy and operator safety.
Don’t let the narrow profile fool you — a reach truck running bad tyres in a high-bay racking system is a serious risk. GP Solid 300×15 tyres are engineered for exactly this kind of work:
01
Precise profile — maintains the narrow width tolerance needed for tight aisle clearances
02
Solid construction — no puncture risk from pallet splinters or racking debris on the warehouse floor
03
Stable vertical contact — important for accurate mast positioning at height
04
Durable compound — built for the continuous start-stop cycling of order picking operations
05
Consistent performance on polished warehouse flooring and smooth concrete
The 3.00-15 is a more specialised fitment than the wider counterbalance sizes, but it’s common across the leading reach truck and order picker brands. We supply this size for:
Toyota BT Reflex and Vector reach truck series
Crown RR series stand-up reach trucks
Jungheinrich ETR and ERC reach truck range
Linde R14 to R20 reach truck models
Yale MR series reach trucks
Hyster R1.4 to R2.0 reach truck range
Still FM-X series reach trucks
If your machine isn’t listed here, check the tyre sidewall or your service manual. We can cross-reference by make and model if you need help.
In a high-density warehousing environment — the kind of operation that relies on reach trucks moving through tight racking in Johannesburg's large distribution centres — an out-of-service machine creates an immediate bottleneck. One reach truck down can back up an entire picking operation. Having the right tyre size available quickly is the difference between a one-hour fix and a full shift lost.
That's why we stock specialist sizes like the 300x15 alongside the more common counterbalance sizes. You shouldn't have to scramble.
Ryan WiblinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had to do some major repairs to our forklift. Bob and the team at GP forklifts were absolutely unreal in their service and communication. The forklift was repaired at a very reasonable price and great care and effort was put into repairing everything and I'm quite convinced that the forklift is now running better than when we bought it new. Thanks to Bob and his team! Manilall GirdhariTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Crispen NyereTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
