Yokohama TWS says its Trelleborg XP range of material handling tires is designed to “provide the right solution at every intensity level.”
According to Alessio Bucci, product marketing director, Trelleborg Tires, “at the lower end, the XP700 is designed for low-intensity material handling operations that typically involve shorter cycle lengths and lower working times.
“Moving up the scale, the XP800 caters to medium-intensity applications, while the XP900 is suited for higher-intensity operations,” she notes.
“At the top of the range, the XP1000 is specifically engineered for maximum-intensity applications in diverse environments, such as large warehouses, where operations are super-intensive with machines running continuous cycles, even across three shifts per day.
"These environments demand equipment that can handle maximum working time and cycle length, preventing overheating and ensuring tires’ durability.
“Additionally, during operations and complex maneuvers, stability and top cornering capabilities are crucial, providing superior traction and performance while also ensuring comfort for the driver.”
Bucci says the tires’ compounds are customized.
“The XP700, for instance, features a multi-purpose, standard black compound, providing excellent performance both outdoor and indoor, with superior wear resistance and low rolling resistance.
“For facilities where cleanliness is a priority, the XP800 and XP900 come in a white, non-marking compound, ensuring no marks on surfaces while maintaining durability and effective heat dissipation.
"The XP1000 range provides maximum adaptability with specialized compounds like a conductive option to prevent electric shocks and a heat-resistant compound for high-temperature conditions.”
“The future of material handling tires is not just about meeting today’s challenges, but about shaping what’s next,” says Bucci.
