Trelleborg looks to significantly improve material handling operations with the launch of its latest tyre solution for maximum intensity applications, the XP1000. The tyre provides customers moving materials around ports, warehouses, and shop floors, with optimum traction and minimal vibration to bring greater comfort, increased safety, lower fuel consumption and a longer tyre life for more cost effective and sustainable operations.

Luca Sabelli, Product Manager Material Handling at Trelleborg Wheel Systems, commented, â€œWe have worked hard to make sure our tyres are ready for next generation material handling vehicles and the intense jobs theyâ€™re required to perform. We want to give our customers a high-performance tyre promising greater durability, more stability and comfort, while reducing the environmental impact â€“ even when handling heavy duty jobs. The XP1000 tyre does all that â€“ and more.â€

Side-by-side performance comparison tests against competitive tyres show that the XP1000 tyre lasts up to 9% longer with 21% improved endurance and offers a reported increase in comfort of up to 13%. Its three internal layers have also been designed for sustainable success: the lightweight Tyre features an innovative fibre compound made using recycled materials, saving 866 tonnes per year on materials alone, while decreasing CO2 emissions by up to 110 tonnes per year.

The XP1000 includes Trelleborgâ€™s Pit Stop Line technology which lets operators know the right time to replace their tyres so they can get the most out of them and reduce waste. The tyre also incorporates Trelleborgâ€™s easy to recognise, user-friendly labelling system to help customers select the right tyre for their operations according to application specific requirements and intensity, improving overall performance. Starting with raw materials and long-lasting reliability of compounds, Trelleborg brings cutting edge technologies to its tyres, so machine operators can concentrate on what they do best.
