Trelleborg Wheel USA: Pit Stop Elite XP Tire

Embedded wear indicator in forklift tire extends useful life

Trelleborg Wheel USA: Pit Stop Elite XP Tire
By Trelleborg Wheel USA 
August 31, 2017

Engineered to increase productivity, safety and sustainability, the new Pit Stop Elite XP tire is embedded with a highly visible orange band that appears on the surface as the tire wears down.

This indicates that approximately 100 hours of use remain before replacement is needed. The indicator prevents unnecessary or early tire replacement and minimizes equipment downtime for cost savings.

By reducing the frequency of replacement part shipments, the tire also reduces waste and cuts a fleet’s carbon footprint.
