13.00-25/2.5 rim for Heavy-duty forklift rim CAT

The 13.00-25/2.5 rim is a 5-piece structure rim designed for tubeless (TL) tires, commonly used on heavy-duty forklifts.  Traction is the OEM rim supplier in China for Volvo, Caterpillar, Liebherr, John Deere, and Doosan.

  • Rim size: 13.00-25/2.5
  • Application: Forklift rim
  • Application Model: Heavy-duty forklift
  • Vehicle Brand: CAT
  • Product introduction The 13.00-25/2.5 rim is a 5-piece structure rim designed for tubeless (TL) tires, commonly used on heavy-duty forklifts.

Description 

The primary reasons why Caterpillar heavy-duty forklifts select the 13.00-25/2.5 rim configuration center on the specific requirements of such vehicles regarding load capacity, stability, safety, and durability.
Heavy-duty forklifts are frequently employed for stacking and transporting heavy cargo. The large 13.00-25 tires inherently possess high load-bearing ratings, while the 2.5-inch wide rims provide stable support for heavy loads, thereby extending tire service life. This configuration is well-suited for models with load capacities of 10 tons, 15 tons, 20 tons, or even higher.
The 13.00-25/2.5 rim offers superior stability and lateral support. When a heavy-duty forklift lifts cargo, the tire shoulders require strong support and a large ground contact area; consequently, a properly matched rim width ensures balanced force distribution across the tire sidewalls, preventing "sidewall deflection" or displacement—even during turning, lifting, or braking maneuvers.
Beyond simply handling heavy loads, heavy-duty forklifts must also provide stable traction during loading and unloading operations, dampen vibrations, and minimize damage to the ground surface.
The 13.00-25/2.5 rim-and-tire combination delivers a larger ground contact area, enhanced lateral support, greater load-bearing capacity at lower tire pressures, and improved operational smoothness and cargo safety.
With over thirty years of manufacturing experience, Traction operates under a "one-stop" production model that includes the in-house production of the structural steel used for its rims. In the field of OTR (Off-the-Road) rims, the advantage this offers extends far beyond merely "producing our own materials"; it allows us to determine—directly at the source—the ultimate limits of a rim's safety, consistency, and long-term reliability.
This approach ensures that our products comprehensively outperform standard rims in terms of concentricity, fatigue resistance, weld strength, and service life. By utilizing high-strength, premium-grade steel, we guarantee that our rims possess exceptional resistance to both fatigue and impact.
Caterpillar heavy-duty forklifts select Traction’s 13.00-25/2.5 rims specifically to meet the critical demands of heavy-duty operations regarding load capacity, stability, safety, and long-term durability.
Consequently, Traction has become the preferred supplier for numerous OEM manufacturers worldwide.
