The 650×10 — standard notation 6.50-10 — is a popular size on larger electric counterbalance forklifts that carry serious loads through high-cycle operations. If this is the size you’re after, GP Forklifts stocks GP Solid 650×10 tyres in Johannesburg, ready for quick collection or delivery across South Africa.
The 6.50-10 sizing means a tyre that's 6.5 inches wide, mounted on a 10-inch rim. It's typically found on heavier-duty electric forklifts in the 2.5 to 3.5-tonne range — the workhorses of most large warehouse and distribution centre operations. If your forklift is handling pallet loads in a busy Joburg facility, there's a solid chance it's running on 6.50-10s.
When your forklift is doing 8 to 10 hours a day on a concrete floor, tyre quality isn’t something you want to compromise on. GP Solid tyres are built with a harder compound and more robust construction than budget alternatives — and that difference shows up in how long they last and how they handle under load:
01
Zero puncture risk — critical when your floor has packaging debris, nails, or banding straps
02
High load rating — designed for the 2.5T to 3.5T class of electric forklift
03
Excellent tread life on abrasive warehouse concrete
04
Reduced vibration transmission compared to worn or low-quality tyres
05
Lower total cost over the tyre’s lifespan
The 6.50-10 fitment is common across some of the most widely used forklift brands in South Africa. We supply this size for:
Toyota 7FBE and 8FBE series heavy-duty electrics
Yale ERP series 3-tonne class forklifts
Hyster J3.0 and J3.5 XNT electric counterbalance models
Linde E35 and similar heavy electric range
Komatsu FB25 and FB30 series
Doosan B30X and B35X electric models
TCM FHB and FRB series
Not sure if this size fits your machine? Check the tyre sidewall or the placard inside your forklift’s door frame. Still unsure — call us and we’ll confirm it before anything gets ordered.
Some operations consider foam-filled pneumatic tyres for this size — particularly if there's occasional rough surface work involved. But for the majority of South African warehouse and manufacturing environments, GP Solid is the right call. No pressure checks, no risk of foam degradation over time, and no performance drop under consistently heavy loads. It's a simpler, more reliable setup for high-intensity indoor work.
Based in Sebenza, Edenvale, we're conveniently located for businesses operating across Johannesburg East, the industrial areas of Ekurhuleni, and Midrand. We keep this size on the shelf because our clients need fast turnaround — and we deliver on that.
