Continental Tire North America Inc has introduced a solid pneumatic forklift tyre that requires no press, specialist technician or equipment for installation.

The CSEasy tyre could be fitted onsite, ensuring the forklift was back in full operation in several minutes, a Continental Tire statement said.

Marketing manager Josef F Pauli said the tyre was patented and "no one has anything like it".
"It doesn't have to be used on just forklifts. It can be used on any vehicle that could use solid rubber tyres of that size," he said.

Solid rubber tyres are squeezed onto a rim using a hydraulic press. That requires sending the wheel to a dealership or having a truck visit the site. A press technician presses off the old tyre and presses the new tyre onto the rim.

Pauli said the CSEasy had an adaptor that snapped onto the rim. The tyre was then slid onto the adaptor and tightened with a wrench.

"After the first installation, the wheel never needs to be removed from the vehicle. You just jack it up like a car, unbolt the old CSEasy tyre and bolt on the new tyre."
