Yanmar manufactures a range of compact and mid-range forklifts suited to light industrial, agricultural, and construction environments. These machines are valued for their compact footprint and reliable performance — but they still need the correct tyres to operate safely and efficiently.
GP Forklifts supplies two primary tyre types for Yanmar machines.
Solid tyres are the practical choice for Yanmar forklifts working on smooth, hardened surfaces — warehouse floors, cold stores, tile facilities, and similar environments. They don’t puncture, they don’t need inflation checks, and they handle the repetitive load cycles of high-frequency operations without adding maintenance overhead. If your Yanmar is indoors most of the time, solid tyres almost certainly belong on it. Browse our range of solid forklift tyres available across South Africa for specifications and options.
If your Yanmar works outdoors — on building sites, in open yards, or across uneven ground — pneumatic tyres provide the cushioning and traction that solid rubber can’t match. The air-filled construction absorbs surface irregularities and gives the machine a more stable ride on imperfect terrain.
GP Forklifts also stocks foam-filled pneumatic tyres for Yanmar machines. These give you the ride quality of a pneumatic without the puncture risk — a useful middle ground for machines that move between surfaces throughout the working day. Visit our forklift tyres page for a full overview of available categories.
Getting the correct tyre size is not optional. An incorrectly sized tyre affects load capacity, machine stability, and in some cases compromises safety certification. Below are the most commonly required tyre dimensions across Yanmar forklift models:
Not certain which size applies to your machine? Call GP Forklifts on 010 110 1819 with your model number and we’ll confirm the correct specification before you order. Getting this right first time avoids return freight costs and unnecessary machine downtime.
It’s straightforward to focus on the price per tyre and overlook what the choice actually costs over time. The wrong compound for your application wears faster, costs more across its lifespan, and in some cases creates handling problems that put operators at risk.
Here’s what tyre selection genuinely affects:
Fitting a solid tyre to a Yanmar that regularly crosses rough outdoor ground puts unnecessary mechanical stress through the tyre and into your drive axle. The reverse is also true — a pneumatic on a smooth indoor floor adds inflation maintenance with no performance benefit over solid rubber.
For Yanmar machines operating on gradients, in wet yard conditions, or across loose surfaces, tread selection matters. A flat-profile solid tyre won’t give you the grip that a lug-pattern pneumatic provides when the ground is uneven or damp.
Every forklift tyre carries a load rating. Fitting a tyre with an inadequate rating to a Yanmar running at or near its rated capacity creates a safety issue and significantly accelerates wear. GP Forklifts will confirm load ratings when advising on fitment for your specific machine.
South African summers — particularly inside enclosed warehouses and facilities — put real thermal demands on tyre compounds. Certain solid tyre compounds handle sustained heat better, maintaining their shape and grip characteristics over more operational cycles than cheaper alternatives.
That figure reflects actual industry knowledge, not marketing copy. When you call GP Forklifts about a Yanmar tyre fitment, you’re speaking to people who understand forklifts — not a call centre reading from a catalogue. That depth of knowledge makes a difference when you need accurate advice quickly.
Long lead times cost production time. GP Forklifts maintains stock of the most common Yanmar tyre sizes so you’re not waiting weeks for an order to arrive. When your machine needs to be back on the floor, we work to make that happen with minimal delay.
We ask the right questions before we fulfil an order. Model number, current tyre size, application type, surface conditions — all of it. That means you receive tyres that fit and perform as expected, not a product that needs to come back.
Load shedding schedules, harsh summer heat, dusty yard environments, and the specific demands of South Africa’s logistics and construction sectors all affect how forklift tyres perform and how quickly they wear. Our advice factors in local conditions — not just the manufacturer’s spec sheet.
No unexplained fees. No “we’ll call you back” delays that stretch into days. GP Forklifts provides clear, competitive pricing upfront so you can make a straightforward purchasing decision without follow-up calls to pin down numbers.

The process is straightforward. Here’s what to expect from first contact to delivery:
Call 010 110 1819 or email sales@gpforklifts.co.za. Have your Yanmar model number and current tyre size ready if possible. It speeds things up considerably.
Our team confirms the correct tyre size, compound, and type for your machine and application. If you're unsure how to read the sidewall markings, we walk you through it.
A clear quote covering tyre cost, quantities, and delivery. Most quotes are returned the same business day.
Once you're satisfied with the quote, we process the order and confirm stock availability. Standard Yanmar tyre sizes are typically available without delays.
We arrange delivery to your facility. GP Forklifts services businesses across Gauteng and can accommodate clients in other provinces. Delivery timelines are confirmed at order stage.
New tyres fitted, machine in service, operation running. That's the outcome we work towards on every order.
GP Forklifts primarily serves businesses across Gauteng — including Johannesburg, Pretoria, Ekurhuleni, Midrand, Centurion, and the surrounding industrial corridors. We also supply clients in other provinces. If you're outside Gauteng and need Yanmar forklift tyres, contact us directly on 010 110 1819 to discuss delivery options. We work with logistics partners and can arrange delivery to most major urban centres across South Africa.
Forklift tyre pricing depends on several variables: tyre size, type (solid or pneumatic), compound specification, and order quantity. Larger orders typically attract better unit pricing.
As a general guide:
GP Forklifts doesn’t publish fixed price lists because tyre costs shift with import pricing and exchange rates. What we commit to is an honest, competitive quote without inflated margins or unexplained charges. For a quote on Yanmar forklift tyres, call 010 110 1819 or email sales@gpforklifts.co.za. Quotes are typically returned within the same business day.

We stock the most common Yanmar tyre sizes and can source less common specifications through our supplier network. The best approach is to contact us with your model number so we can confirm availability before you place an order.
Check the sidewall of your existing tyre — the size is moulded directly into the rubber and typically reads in a format like 6.50-10 or 7.00-12. If you’re not sure how to interpret the markings, call us on 010 110 1819 and we’ll walk you through it.
Our tyres meet the load ratings and dimensional specifications required for Yanmar forklift fitment. We confirm load ratings and suitability for your specific model when you make your enquiry.
For standard Yanmar tyre sizes held in stock, delivery within Gauteng is typically arranged with minimal lead time. We confirm timelines at order stage based on current stock and your location.
This depends on your machine’s rim specification and the application it’s used for. Some Yanmar models accommodate both tyre types, but the conversion needs to be assessed individually. Call us and we’ll advise on what’s feasible for your machine.
Contact us on 010 110 1819 or via sales@gpforklifts.co.za and we’ll confirm payment options when we process your order.
Yes. GP Forklifts services clients nationally. Call us to discuss delivery arrangements and lead times for your specific location.
Depth of industry knowledge, primarily. Anyone can list tyre sizes on a website. We bring over 53 years of collective forklift industry experience to every enquiry — which means the advice you receive is grounded in real application knowledge, not a product list.
Your Yanmar forklift is a working asset. When it’s off the floor with a worn or failed tyre, that’s lost production — and in South Africa’s current climate, downtime carries a real cost.
GP Forklifts gives you the right tyres, correctly specified, and delivered without unnecessary delay. Call us now on 010 110 1819, email sales@gpforklifts.co.za, or use the contact form on our website to request a quote. We respond promptly during business hours.
