Press-On Tires

Typical Physical Properties of Press-On -Tires

UN

Universal Compound

Disigned as a general purpose compound, ITL's unique blend of synthetic and natural rubber provides cost effective operation on gas and electric trucks in most industrial applications.

EL

SRT
KRT

Electric Compound

Engineered specifically for high cycle electric vehicles, ITL's electric tread is the choice in major industries that demand extended service life and industry leading energy efficiencies for electric trucks in harsh applications.

TFT

SRT
KRT

TFT: Tires for Toughest Applications

Developed for the extreme conditions of underground mining where outstanding resistance to severe cutting and abrasion is the name of the game.

TFT was engineereed not just to survive in that environment, but to excell, and now it can deliver the same unparalled performance in your toughest lift truck operation.

HP

NM

Hi Performance / Non-Marking

North America's continued commitment to the improved work environment fostered ITL's breakthrough HPNM. This revolutionary compound is the first to successfully combine energy efficiency and extended service life while maintaining non-marking performance.

SRT

KRT

Steel/Fibre Reinforced

Some applications are simply too demanding for an unreinforced compound. Cutting, chunking, long runs and high loads combine to accelerate wear and cause premature failure. Reinforced compounds run cooler under load and provide superior resistance to cutting and cut growth.

 

SC

KRT
SRT

Oil Resistant Static Conducting

Select applications require more specialized compounds. SC tires limit sparking in explosive atmospheres, while OR tires limit deterioration due to chemical exposure. ITL's complete range provides complete application coverage.

Three main factors affect press-on-tire performance:

  • Load and load frequency
  • Number and fequency of trips (shifts)
  • Length of run and travel speed

Additional conditions affecting performance include:

  • Capacity and class of equipment
  • Surface (yard) conditions and turning area
  • Type and weight of materials moved

A competent evaluation of the above 6 factors through a Lucas consultation will determine the optimum combination of compound, profile and tread pattern for your specific application.

Typical Physical Properties

  • Tire performance begins and ends with physical properties
  • No combination of tread, profile or price can compensate for inadequate performance value
  • A professional approach matching performance values and applciation requirements will result in savings
  • ITL leads the industry in the practice of publishing physical properties
  • Few companies have responded to this ITL initiative. Most continue to withhold this fundamental quality statement.
