Anti-Static Tyre Launched by Camso

Road-free tyre specialist Camso released the new Solideal PON 775 NMAS— which it calls the world’s first tyre to prevent static build-up on non-marking tyres—during this year’s CeMAT Show in Hanover.

“Over the course of the week, we had a chance to talk with customers and exhibitors about industry trends and the mobility challenges the market is facing,” says Thierry Miche, Product Line Executive Director – Material Handling at Camso. “Beyond automatization, ergonomics and storage optimization, a popular topic was safety and the high demands for productivity,”

During the show, Camso unveiled the first patented non-marking anti-static (NMAS) press-on tyre to resolve the important safety issue of static electricity generated by non-marking tyres. “Static build-up on non-marking tyres is well-known in the industry, and we’re taking it seriously. By tackling the accumulation of static electricity on non-marking forklift tyres, we’re resolving potential safety issues for operators, as well as preventing facility damage,” adds Miche.

Nearly half of all forklifts equipped with press-ons operate on non-marking tyres, and the revolutionary Solideal PON 775 NMAS tyre is overcoming the challenges of the most demanding environments such as the pulp and paper and carpet industries where static can cause major problems. Indeed, the new press-on solution was also designed for specific applications where the combination of high loads and increased duty cycles may cause thermal failure, and where high amounts of static are generated.

“The need for conductive non-marking tyres came up during a product review with a customer, and since its development, the tyre has generated great enthusiasm among key players in the industry,” explains Miche. “The new Solideal PON 775 NMAS has been in the field overcoming static-related issues since October 2015 with a leading company in the North American pulp and paper sector. In addition to grounding static build-up, it’s shown long tyre life and increased heat resistance,” continues Miche.

Camso has had a patent on this anti-static non-marking technology since 2009.
