Conti CSEasy Adaptor wins TecPart Award

The adaptor developed by German firm KTS Kunststoff Technik Schmölln for Continental’s CSEasy industrial tyre has received an innovation award from TecPart, the German technical plastics manufacturers’ association. In reporting the KTS product’s attainment of a TecPart Innovation Prize 2010, Continental comments that the CSEasy adaptor not only enables wheel changes without the need for mounting presses or specialist involvement, thereby greatly reducing forklift downtime and the expense involved in changing the wheel – it also lowers the tyre’s rolling resistance, gives longer mileage, and improves safety and environmental compatibility.

The CSEasy adaptor has already won several awards and is a current nominee for the German Design Award 2010.
