Eltor Evo means the best performance
development, in other words the
evolution of the already well known
Eltor range. Eltor, in fact, has delivered
over the years top performances as far
as running hours, comfort and safety
are concerned.
The Eltor Evo adds several important
features to its predecessors: lower
rolling resistance, longer life and even
higher safety. These new extra features
have been developed after important
technical market investigations were
carried out through important end users
and premium forklift manufacturers.
The Eltor Evo has been studied in
Italy where the R&D centre of the
Marangoni Group is based.
The premium forklift producers have
been really helpful in confirming
Marangoni’s target performances.
Minimizing the rolling resistance first
of all means increasing the forklift
efficiency, thanks to a lower heat
generation that positively impacts on the
energy consumed. The real benefit of
this is longer battery life for the electric
forklift and less stops for refueling for
the internal combustion ones.
Specific compounds
Longer life, of course, means a lower
cost per hour and reduced forklift
stops for tyre replacement. Eltor Evo’s
longer life is delivered by some key
design features with the 60J positioned
on a smaller diameter, and specific
compounds produced exclusively
using the best raw materials allowed by
European Union directives. Marangoni’s
tests show that this new range can
withstand a high number of working
hours: 10% more compared to other
premium products. Less replacements
mean less CO
2
emissions, which is
beneficial for the environment.
Eltor Evo therefore satisfies the forklift
owners as they will save money on cost
per hour, the logistic managers as the
forklift will run more, and the drivers
because of the product comfort and
safety.
Top Performance
“We are extremely proud to say
that this product is one of the most
advanced forklift tyre within the
industry today, in fact we decided to
call it Eltor Evo as it represents the best
evolution of the long time successful
products called Eltor 3 and Eltor 5,”
said Lorenzo Stringari, Sales Manager
of Industrial Tyres.
“Our important goal now is to optimize
the availability of the Eltor Evo,
throughout the markets where we are
present. This to make sure that the
users looking for top performances
will be satisfied. Another important
goal is to train our direct and indirect
service force in the markets, in order to
manage in the best way the premium
positioning of the Eltor Evo, in line
with the performances delivered and
the status acquired by being mounted
on some of the most technological
Forklifts available in the market.”
The launch of Eltor Evo, within all the
other ranges offered by Marangoni,
confirms the determination of the
producer to keep playing a key role in
the top suppliers of the industrial tyre
segment.
As a relevant part of its constant development plan, Marangoni Industrial Tyres has recently
launched a new solid tyre range called ‘Eltor Evo’.
