1630TSHD TireSocks Heavy Duty – Professional Tire Covers for Electric Forklifts and Industrial Applications
Reinforced floor protection for intensive, heavy-duty use
The 1630TSHD TireSocks Heavy Duty are the reinforced version of the 1630TS, 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 1630TSHD differs from the standard 1630TS 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.
Specifically Designed for Electric Forklifts
The 1630TSHD has been engineered for powerful electric forklifts that handle heavy loads in indoor environments. Because these machines operate continuously on the same flooring, effective floor protection is essential to prevent tire marks and rubber transfer.

An Efficient Solution for a Cleaner Working Environment
Companies increasingly invest in high-quality industrial flooring that must remain clean, safe and presentable. However, forklift tire marks often result in additional maintenance, cleaning costs and reduced productivity.
With 1630TSHD TireSocks, these issues can be prevented easily. The tire covers create a protective barrier around each tire, preventing dirt and rubber from coming into direct contact with the floor. As a result, floors stay cleaner for longer while forklifts can continue operating indoors without modifications.
For logistics companies and equipment rental businesses, this also means the same machine can be used flexibly for both indoor and outdoor applications, increasing overall fleet utilisation.

The 1630TSHD TireSocks are trusted worldwide by manufacturers, logistics providers, warehouses, distribution centres and industrial end users who require their electric forklifts to operate safely on finished indoor flooring.
As the exclusive distributor of TireSocks throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa, IVE International stocks nearly all standard sizes for immediate dispatch. This ensures fast delivery, expert product advice and genuine TireSocks with a perfect fit.
