LF401
- 11 sizes
- Industrial
LF401 is an industrial tyre designed for heavy-duty material handling and site transport applications. The tread pattern features deep grooves and a wide tread arc to resist clogging and maintain traction in muddy or debris-laden environments. It uses a wear resistance compound to extend casing life under continuous load and high abrasion conditions.
What LF401 Is Built For
LF401 is an industrial tyre designed for heavy-duty material handling and site transport applications. The tread pattern features deep grooves and a wide tread arc to resist clogging and maintain traction in muddy or debris-laden environments. It uses a wear resistance compound to extend casing life under continuous load and high abrasion conditions. The variational pattern design and new stamping process provide a distinctive appearance while supporting consistent performance across multiple industrial vehicle types. Available in 11 sizes from 18X7-8NHS to 9.00-20NHS, it supports a range of load indices and rim widths used in forklifts, loaders, and site transport vehicles.

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Standard industrial tyres with shallow tread patterns
LF401’s deep pattern and wide tread arc resist clogging and maintain traction in muddy or debris-heavy environments
Compared With Tyres without wear resistance compound
LF401’s compound extends casing life under high abrasion, reducing replacement frequency
Compared With Tyres with uniform tread pattern across all sizes
LF401’s variational pattern design improves traction consistency and reduces noise
Use Guide
- Match ply rating and rim width to your vehicle’s axle load and wheel specification
- Inflate to the pressure listed in the size table for your load; under-inflation increases wear and heat
- Inspect tread grooves after each shift in muddy or debris-heavy conditions to prevent clogging
- Rotate tyres before irregular wear sets in, especially on vehicles with uneven load distribution
- Use only the sizes listed in the size table; do not substitute based on nominal rim or diameter
LF401 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ typically fills by weight rather than volume. Mixed loads across sizes and patterns are accepted.
What is the lead time?
It depends on whether the size is in stock at the plant or needs to be produced. We confirm availability with the plant at the time of quotation.
Which sizes are available?
11 sizes: 18X7-8NHS, 5.00-8NHS, 6.00-9NHS, 6.50-10NHS, 7.00-12NHS, 28X9-15NHS (8.15-15), 8.25-15NHS, 250-15NHS, 300-15NHS, 7.50-16NHS, 9.00-20NHS. Full load, pressure and rim data is in the size table.
Can you supply DOT or ECE marked tyres?
Marking requirements vary by destination. Tell us your import market and we confirm what marking the plant can supply on that size.
What warranty do you give?
One year against manufacturing defect on all tyres we supply, with claims handled directly by us. Cargo transportation insurance is provided on the shipment.
Can you ship a mixed container with other patterns?
Yes. Most of our customers load one container across several patterns and sizes, which is the main reason to buy through us rather than from a single plant.
What is the tread depth on each size?
Tread depth ranges from 15.0 mm (5.00-8NHS) to 25.0 mm (9.00-20NHS). Full data is in the size table.
