The 700×12 (7.00-12) is a large-format solid forklift tyre built for the kind of heavy-duty work that smaller sizes simply can’t handle. GP Forklifts stocks GP Solid 700×12 tyres in Johannesburg — ready for businesses across Gauteng and broader South Africa that can’t afford to wait when a machine needs re-tyring.
At 7 inches wide with a 12-inch rim diameter, the 7.00-12 is one of the larger standard sizes in the solid tyre range. It's most commonly found on 3-tonne to 5-tonne counterbalance forklifts — the machines doing the heavy lifting in steel fabrication yards, large-scale warehouses, cold stores, and manufacturing plants across South Africa.
This isn't a tyre you'll find on a light electric workhorse — it's for machines that carry serious loads, run hard, and need rubber that keeps up.
GP Solid tyres earn their reputation in environments that chew through lesser rubber quickly. The 700×12 is no exception:
01
Puncture-proof solid construction — keeps your machine running regardless of what’s on the floor
02
High load rating — engineered for 3T to 5T class heavy counterbalance forklifts
03
Heat-resistant compound — manages the thermal build-up from sustained heavy operations
04
Consistent tread depth across the full tyre width — even wear, longer service life
05
Compatible with standard press-on and bolted rim configurations
The 7.00-12 is a standard fitment on some of the most common heavy-lift machines on South African floors. We supply this size for brands including:
Toyota 7FD30 to 7FD50 LPG and diesel counterbalance forklifts
Yale GDP30 to GDP50 LPG and diesel range
Hyster H3.5 to H5.0 FT series
Linde H30T to H50T diesel and LPG models
Doosan G30E and G35E series
Komatsu FG30 to FG45 range
Mitsubishi FD30 to FD50 diesel series
This list covers the most common applications, but we stock and source for a wide range of manufacturers. If you’re not sure if this is the right size, your tyre sidewall or forklift placard will have the spec — or call us and we’ll check for you.
On a large counterbalance forklift doing multi-shift work, a worn or undersized tyre doesn't just affect ride quality — it puts strain on steering, axles, and mast components. Businesses that run tight margins on logistics and manufacturing can't afford the knock-on repair costs. Investing in the right tyre upfront, from a supplier who actually knows the product, is the smarter play.
We're based in Sebenza, Edenvale — easy access for businesses in Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni, Springs, and across the East Rand. Whether you need a single set or you're stocking up for a fleet, we'll get you sorted quickly.
