Description
1226TSHD TireSocks Heavy Duty – Professional Tire Covers for Rough Terrain Scissor Lifts, Forklifts and Industrial Equipment
Reinforced floor protection for intensive, heavy-duty use
The 1226TSHD TireSocks Heavy Duty are the reinforced version of the 1226TS, developed for machines with industrial tires that are used daily and intensively. They prevent black tire marks, rubber transfer, dust and contamination on sensitive floors, even when the machine operates for long periods under heavy loads.
Where the standard version is ideal for lighter, occasional use, the Heavy Duty version is built for demanding applications that require extra strength and a longer service life.
What makes the Heavy Duty version different?
The 1226TSHD differs from the standard 1226TS through an additional reinforced inner layer. This layer makes the tire cover more resistant to higher loads and intensive use, significantly increasing its service life in demanding conditions. The outer surface retains the same non-marking properties, so your floors stay fully protected.
- Additional reinforced inner layer for intensive, heavy-duty use.
- Withstands higher loads than the standard version.
- Longer service life during daily, intensive use.
- The same reliable non-marking protection on sensitive floors.

Perfect for Temporary Indoor Projects
Many machines are designed primarily for outdoor use but regularly need to enter buildings for maintenance, installation work, renovation projects or interior finishing. At that point, standard industrial tires can leave unwanted black marks, rubber residue and dirt on finished floors.
With the 1226TSHD, your outdoor machine can be transformed into an indoor floor-friendly machine within minutes. This helps reduce cleaning costs, prevents expensive floor damage claims and ensures a clean, professional working environment for your customer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the 1226TSHD suitable for rough terrain scissor lifts?
Yes. This size has been specifically developed for many of the most popular rough terrain scissor lifts from manufacturers such as Genie, JLG, Skyjack, MEC, Haulotte and Snorkel.
Can the TireSocks also be used on forklifts?
Yes. The 1226TSHD is also compatible with various Caterpillar and Manitou forklifts, as well as many other industrial machines equipped with the same tire sizes.
How long do TireSocks last?
Service life depends on the floor surface, machine weight and operating conditions. Under normal indoor use, Standard TireSocks typically last between two weeks and two months. For long-term or intensive applications, we recommend the Heavy Duty version.
Can TireSocks be used outdoors?
TireSocks are specifically designed for use on clean, dry indoor floors. Prolonged use on rough asphalt or concrete will significantly reduce their service life.
