Trelleborg Launches Next-Gen Forklift Tire

April 8, 2021

Trelleborg Wheel Systems has launched its next-generation XP800 forklift tire range.

Luca Sabelli, product manager, material handling, Trelleborg, says, "In today’s multitude of material handling operations, having the right solution is key to maximizing efficiency.

"At Trelleborg, we have developed a unique rating system with easy to recognize labels to help customers to effortlessly identify which tire suits their needs, according to the application’s intensity. 

"The XP800 is specifically designed to be the perfect choice for medium-intensity applications, delivering a solid performance and minimizing downtime to keep costs under control.”

The new XP800 enhances both indoor and outdoor performance to ensure maximum productivity. Its innovative design features an extra wide tread and unique profile for minimized vibrations, enhanced handling and excellent stability in indoor applications, while its lateral block design with deep lugs optimizes traction in outdoor areas. Its extra-deep tread increases longevity for maximum service life.

On the inside of the XP800, a construction technology features an innovative fiber compound layer, along with an optimized tread, to provide outstanding performance in a sustainable way.

The XP800 is available in two different compounds: multipurpose, a standard black compound to ensure very good wear, rolling resistance and overall performance; and non-marking, a specialized white compound designed to optimize heat dissipation and keep floors clean and mark-free.

Trelleborg’s XP800 range will include multiple sizes covering low aspect ratio and 20-inch tires for more severe applications, meeting the complex challenges of material handling operations.
