Peltas Solid ST

Turkish tyre manufacturing company Petlas has released Solid ST, a new forklift tyre the company says it developed to offer extended service life, maximum damage resistance and minimised maintenance costs for forklifts operating on smooth and flat surfaces.

Solid ST has a four-layer structure, helping the tyre demonstrate great wear behaviour and resistance to cuts, chips and wear, Petlas claims.

The cushion layer helps decrease heat build-up, and under the inner layer of hard natural rubber with staple fibres lies a hard base compound with four embedded steel wires.

Solid ST is currently available in two sizes: 6.50-10 and 23×10-12, with two more sizes planned for the second half of the year.

Apart from this new Solid model, Petlas also offers three different pneumatic forklift tyres - HL10, HL30 and HL40.
