Ferentino builds premium-value industrial solid forklift tires — made by Ferentino Tyre Corporation with Italian industrial-tire heritage (via Marangoni), UAE ownership (Onyx Group), and manufacturing in Sri Lanka, one of the world’s leading solid-tyre nations. The forklift range centers on Eltor EVO FT, Forza FT, and Eco Plus — in resilient-solid and press-on band builds, with non-marking (NMG/NMY) options for finished floors. This is the complete guide: who makes them, every line and what it’s built for, the construction, sizes, and exactly how to choose.

Who makes Ferentino forklift tires
Ferentino forklift tires are made by Ferentino Tyre Corporation (Pvt) Ltd. The Ferentino industrial brand was established by the Onyx Group (UAE) and carries Italian industrial-tire heritage through Marangoni; production is at a large modern plant in Sri Lanka — among the world’s leading solid-tyre manufacturing nations. The industrial business is rebranding to Ferentino Tyre Srl in 2026. The brand is positioned for long service life and strong quality-to-price, with non-marking color options for clean environments. (Ferentino’s passenger-car line, Eternopresa, is a separate product family — this guide covers the forklift/industrial range.)
The Ferentino forklift lines
| Line | Tier / duty | Builds | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forza FT | Premium · heavy-duty | Resilient solid + press-on band (POB) | Deep tread, long-lasting compound, low rolling resistance; smooth & traction; black + non-marking |
| Eltor EVO FT | All-around fleet mainline | Resilient solid + press-on band (POB) | Balanced handling and wear for mixed indoor/outdoor; non-marking available |
| Eco Plus / Eco Plus RIB | Value · light-to-medium | Resilient solid | Steel-bead-reinforced heel, wear indicator, non-marking options |
Ferentino’s wider industrial range also includes SKS (skid-steer), GSP (rib, black + non-marking), Solid Air TLH (telehandler), Cured-On press-on, AWP (aerial work platform), and conventional pneumatics — available to order. For forklifts, the three lines above are the core.
Construction: resilient solid vs press-on band
Across both builds, Ferentino emphasizes a premium wear compound, a steel-bead-reinforced heel to resist rim slip, a wear indicator for replacement timing, and low rolling resistance for energy efficiency. Choose resilient solids for flat-proof uptime on a standard wheel; choose press-on band (POB) for cushion-tire forklifts. Browse resilient solids & pneumatics or press-on tires.
Non-marking options (NMG / NMY)
| Code | What it is | Choose it for |
|---|---|---|
| Black (standard) | Standard black rubber | Marking isn’t a concern; most economical |
| NMG | Non-Marking Gray | Finished/sealed floors where you want to avoid black marks |
| NMY | Non-Marking Yellow | Clean floors + high-visibility preference |
Non-marking compounds protect finished floors in food, beverage, pharma, paper, and clean-warehouse settings. On finished floors choose NMG/NMY; otherwise standard black is the value pick.
Common Ferentino forklift sizes
Ferentino covers the standard forklift size range in both builds. Common fitments include:
| Build | How it reads | Common sizes |
|---|---|---|
| Press-on cushion (POB) | OD × width × inside band | 12x4½x8, 14x4½x8, 15x5x11¼, 16x6x10½, 16¼x5x11¼, 18x6x12⅛, 18x7x12⅛, 21x7x15, 21x8x15 |
| Resilient solid | tire size (+ rim) | 5.00-8, 6.00-9, 6.50-10, 7.00-12, 7.00-15, 28x9-15 (8.15-15) |

How to choose the right Ferentino tire
- Start with duty: heavy-duty/high-load → Forza FT; all-around fleet → Eltor EVO FT; light-to-medium / value → Eco Plus.
- Then construction: flat-proof on a wheel → resilient solid; cushion-tire forklift → press-on band (POB).
- Then marking: finished floors → non-marking (NMG/NMY); otherwise standard black.
- Finish with fitment: confirm tire size, rim, and wheel before ordering.

Where Ferentino fits vs other brands
| Tier | Examples | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Top premium | Trelleborg, Continental | Highest whole-life performance; highest price |
| Premium-value (Ferentino) | Ferentino, Royal, Millennium USA | Long service life and strong quality-to-price; non-marking options |
| Budget | Generic import solids | Lowest price; shorter life, fewer options |
Ferentino sits in the premium-value tier — a step above budget import solids in compound and service life, at a lower cost than top-premium brands. It’s commonly used on counterbalance forklifts (drive and steer) in warehousing, manufacturing, distribution, and clean-floor facilities.
