GRI: Ultimate Green XT tyre represents a ‘sustainability revolution’ in material handling tyres

In addition to news of GRI CEO Dr Mahesha Ranasoma addressing the “Sustainability in Tires” conference in Qingdao, China, GRI is reinforcing its green credentials within the firm’s product line. One example is the Ultimate Green XT tyre, which, according to GRI, represents not just a tyre but a commitment to environmental responsibility.

In an age where sustainability is paramount, the Ultimate Green XT material handling tyre stands “as a true trailblazer”, company representatives, adding “it is more than a tyre; it is a symbol of a sustainable future”.

At the heart of the GRI’s Ultimate Green XT tyre lies a commitment to energy efficiency. To that end, it boasts low rolling resistance and holds the potential for substantial impact. Lower rolling resistance translates into reduced energy consumption, meaning less fuel is required to keep your forklift moving forward. This not only results in cost savings but also a substantial reduction in carbon emissions, making every journey a step towards a more sustainable future.

Heat buildup is the nemesis of tyre longevity. That’s why the Ultimate Green XT is designed to offer “longer operating time due to its exceptional ability to maintain lower temperatures during operation”. That not only extends the tyre’s usable life but also contributes to safer and more consistent performance on the forklift. Furthermore, its low abrasion characteristics are said to extend tyre lifetime and reduce particle release, contributing to a cleaner environment.

At the same time, safety and comfort are said to be paramount when it comes to tyre performance. With maximum cornering stability, the Ultimate Green is designed to “navigate twists and turns with confidence”.

Of course, these features are driven by innovative engineering. Specifically, the tyre’s tread compound is infused with Highly Dispersible Silica and is tailored for high-intensity operations and diverse surface conditions. In addition, the tyre’s tread pattern and optimized lug depth reportedly offer “exceptional traction and control across all terrains”.
