Trelleborg material handling tires range (what this brochure covers)

Trelleborg organizes its material handling lineup around a customer-focused approach designed to support productivity, safety, and sustainability, with a tiered selection of tire families for different work environments and duty cycles.

Resilient solid tires: XP1000, XP900, XP800, XP700
Press-on solid tires: PS1000 and Trelleborg POS
Pneumatic tires: TR-900 (radial) and T-900 (bias)
Port solutions: CX940 (bias) and SR940 (radial)
Ground support equipment: Kargo resilient and Kargo PBB (press-on)

Pit Stop Line (replacement timing you can see)

The brochure describes the Pit Stop Line as an orange strip that appears approximately 100 hours before tire replacement is required—helping fleets avoid replacing tires too early (wasted life) or too late (higher safety risk and downtime).

Application intensity rating (how to match the tire to the job)

Trelleborg highlights an application intensity concept tied to real-world factors that shorten tire life and raise heat/stress—especially on solid tires:

Load capacity
Working time (continuous running can increase heat buildup)
Average speed (higher speeds can increase deformation/overheating)
Cycle length (long distances reduce heat dissipation)
Cornering (repetitive turning increases torque and deformation)

Resilient solid tires (XP series)

If you want flat-proof performance with pneumatic-like shape and predictable handling, the brochure shows the XP series tiering by duty level:

XP1000: premium resilient tire for the most demanding material handling applications; features the Pit Stop Line and emphasizes mileage, durability, fuel consumption, stability, and comfort.
XP900: designed for demanding warehouses, shop floors, and material handling ground services; aims for long lifespan, stability, and maneuverability indoors/outdoors.
XP800: positioned for high performance while maintaining cost control; reliable for everyday conditions.
XP700: tailored for light-duty applications; suitable load capacity, strong steering performance, and cost management.

Press-on solid tires (PS / POS)

PS1000: positioned for maximum-intensity applications, combining the Pit Stop Line with specialized compounds; the brochure notes up to 30% longer life versus competitors.
Trelleborg POS: described as an optimal solution for demanding applications, incorporating wear-resistant technology, energy management, and enhanced stability.

Pneumatic tires (TR-900 radial / T-900 bias)

TR-900 (radial pneumatic): positioned for demanding applications with block tread design and reinforced sidewalls to help avoid impact damage.
T-900 (bias pneumatic): premium bias pneumatic for heavy-duty material handling; emphasizes block tread design, sidewall protection, stability, wear-resistant technology, energy management, and shock absorption.

Port & container handling (CX940 / SR940)

CX940: tailor-made for container handling equipment like reach stackers; highlights stability, traction, and a durable compound to reduce cuts/punctures.
SR940 (radial): designed for stacking/transfer operations in ports; highlights unique tread pattern, side circumferential rib, reinforced sidewall, and extra-deep tread for tire life and stability.

Ground support equipment (GSE)

Kargo resilient: positioned for belt loaders, baggage carts, push-back tractors, and tow tractors—emphasizing cost savings and durability.
Kargo PBB (press-on): designed for passenger boarding bridges; emphasizes safety, stability, uptime, and long-term cost savings.
