Full title and description

ISO 10499-2:1998 — Industrial tyres and rims — Rubber solid tyres (metric series) for pneumatic tyre rims — Part 2: Load ratings. This part of the ISO 10499 series specifies the load ratings for metric-series rubber solid tyres intended for pneumatic rims, primarily for industrial vehicles operating on prepared surfaces.

Abstract

ISO 10499-2:1998 provides standardized load-rating information and related marking conventions for rubber solid tyres (metric series) designed to fit pneumatic tyre rims. It complements ISO 10499-1 (designation, dimensions and marking) and references rim profile requirements (ISO 3739-3) and other normative documents to ensure safe, interoperable tyre and rim combinations for material handling and other industrial applications.

Scope

This part of ISO 10499 specifies load ratings for the metric series of rubber solid tyres intended to be used on pneumatic tyre rims, predominantly for industrial vehicles operating on prepared surfaces (for example, material-handling equipment). It does not define designation, dimensions or marking (these are given in ISO 10499-1) and it assumes compatibility with rim contours as specified in the relevant rim standard(s).

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized load-rating tables (tyre load index to maximum single-wheel load values) for the metric series of rubber solid tyres.
• Assignment and use of tyre load index (LI) and speed codes for service/operational classification.
• Marking conventions for tyres to indicate load index and speed code alongside dimensional designation (in accordance with ISO 10499-1).
• Normative references and cross-references to related standards (designation/dimensions, rim contours, equivalent terms).
• Operational guidance such as twin-wheel (dual) mounting effects on load capacity and the need to confirm rim–tyre compatibility with manufacturers.
• Rules for calculation/rounding of reference loads and intended reference speed categories used in load identification.

Typical use and users

Primary users are tyre and rim manufacturers, OEMs of industrial vehicles (e.g., forklifts and material-handling equipment), procurement/specification engineers, test laboratories, conformity assessment bodies, maintenance organizations and safety/regulatory authorities. The standard is used when specifying tyre load capacities, marking tyres for sale or service, and verifying tyre–rim compatibility for industrial applications.

Related standards

Key related documents in the ISO 10499 series and adjacent areas include ISO 10499-1 (Designation, dimensions and marking), ISO 3739-3 (rim contours for tyres and rims), and ISO 3877-4 (list of equivalent tyre-related terms for solid tyres). National adoptions and regional variants may reference or adopt ISO 10499-2 in identical or aligned form.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10499-2:1998 is the part of the ISO 10499 series that specifies load ratings for metric-series rubber solid tyres intended for pneumatic rims, primarily used on industrial vehicles operating on prepared surfaces.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the assignment and expression of tyre load ratings (load index and associated load values), related marking conventions (used together with ISO 10499-1), and normative references necessary to ensure tyre–rim compatibility and safe use in industrial applications.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Tyre and rim manufacturers, vehicle OEMs (especially material-handling equipment producers), procurement and specification engineers, test houses, maintenance teams and conformity assessment or regulatory organizations.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10499-2 was published on 2 July 1998 (Edition 1). The document has been through periodic ISO review and was confirmed in the ISO review cycle (the published version was reviewed and confirmed in 2019), so the 1998 edition remains the current published edition unless overtaken by a later formal revision.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 2 of the ISO 10499 series. Part 1 covers designation, dimensions and marking; other related parts and adjacent standards cover rims and terminology.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: industrial tyres, rubber solid tyres, metric series, load ratings, load index, speed code, tyre marking, pneumatic rims, ISO 10499
