Marangoni Industrial Tyres launches Eltor Evo premium range

Marangoni Industrial Tyres recently launched a new solid tyre range called Eltor Evo. According to the company, Eltor Evo refers to the best performance development, therefore Evolution, of the already well known Eltor range.

The Eltor Evo adds several important features to its predecessors: lower rolling resistance, longer life and even higher safety. These new extra features have been developed after important technical market investigations carried on through important end users and premium fork lift producers.

The Eltor Evo has been studied in Italy where the R&D centre of the Marangoni Group is based. And the verdict, according to premium forklift OEMs, is that the tyre meets Marangoni’s target performance characteristics.

Minimizing the rolling resistance first of all means increasing the fork lift efficiency thanks to a lower heat generation that positively impacts to the energy consumed. The real benefit of this is longer battery life for electric forklifts as well as less stops for refuelling for the internal combustion fuelled ones.

Longer life, of course, means a lower cost per hour and reduced forklift stops for tyre replacement. Eltor Evo’s longer life is delivered by some key design features with the 60J positioned on a smaller diameter, and specific compounds produced exclusively using the best raw materials allowed by European Union directives. Marangoni’s tests show that this new range can withstand a high number of working hours – in fact 10 per cent more compared to other premium products.

At the same time, fewer replacements mean less CO2 emissions which is beneficial for the environment.

“Our important goal now is to optimize the availability of the Eltor Evo, throughout the markets where we are present. This to make sure that the users looking for top performances will be satisfied. Another important goal is to train our direct and indirect service force in the markets, in order to manage in the best way the premium positioning of the Eltor Evo, in line with the performances delivered and the status acquired by being mounted on some of the most technological Forklifts available in the market”, company representatives said in a launch statement.
