The new Eltor EVO

Industrial tyre maker Marangoni Industrial Tyres has launched a new premium solid resilient tyre range, Eltor EVO. The range has been developed in conjunction with and approved by original equipment manufacturers.

The Eltor EVO adds several important features including lower rolling resistance, longer life and improved safety.

Minimising the rolling resistance increases forklift efficiency thanks to reduced heat generation that positively impacts on energy consumption.

Marangoni claims that this results in longer battery life for electric forklifts and fewer refueling stops for ICE models. The Eltor EVO has been studied in Italy where the Research and Development centre of the Marangoni Group is based at its own production facility, one of the few in Europe.

"We are extremely proud of this new product as it is one of the most advanced forklift tyres within the industry today. In fact, we decided to call it Eltor EVO as it represents the best evolution of the ... successful products called Eltor 3 and Eltor 5," says Lorenzo Stringari, industrial tyre business unit sales director.

He adds that the new product reflects a renewed focus on expansion. "There will be significant investment in new machinery and moulds to enlarge the production capacity and range. Our important goal now is to optimise the availability of the Eltor EVO and, for this reason, Marangoni is expanding the production capacity in our dedicated Sri Lankan production facility."
