Solid Tires are best for tough applications on slow vehicles or trailers with a high risk of impact and damage. 

They are extremely stable, puncture resistant and maintenance-free. Solid Tires have a high loading capacity and are extremely economical. Therewith they are ideal suitable for forklift trucks, airport vehicles, heavy-duty transport vehicles, side-loading forklifts, platform trucks and other industrial vehicles.

Especially at air- and seaports, in logistic centers and industrial applications these tires are in use. Industries, where clean environment is important (e.g. food- and pharmaceutical industry), profits from the non-marking version (Clean Solid Tires): They are also very stable, puncture resistant and have a long service life. But additionally, they are especially designed for minimum floor marking in a clean industrial environment. 

We offer two construction types: Super-Elastic Tires and Press-on-Bands.

The base with embedded bead wires ensures optimum rim-fit.

Super Elastic

Continental Super Elastic (CSE) Tires are developed to fit on industrial pneumatic tire rims. They consist of a tread with highly cut and wear resistant compound. The cushion compound with high damping properties leads to low rolling resistance and low temperature generation. The base with embedded bead wires ensures optimum rim-fit; the sidewall is equipped with highly cut and wear resistant compound. With these properties CSE Tires fit particularly for forklifts (load and steering wheels) and short distance transportation. Especially in areas with high cut potential you will assert that Continental Super Elastic Tires are built to last.

These tires consist of a steel ring with a vulcanized-on rubber cushion. 

Press-on-Bands (POB)

Continental Elastic Press-On Bands (POB) are available in two versions: POB with steel base and POB with steel wire reinforcement:
With our Elastic steel-based Press-On Bands we offer the smallest possible sizes for ultra-heavy loads. These tires consist of a steel ring with a vulcanized-on rubber cushion. This structure provides good heat dissipation (via the steel ring) and the best possible adhesion of rubber to steel. Even under full utilization of their speed and load potential, Continental’s steal-based POBs have outstanding mileage performance. The powerful steel ring means easy fitting. Moreover steal-based POBs offer true protection to the sidewalls and rim.

Elastic Press-On Bands with steel wire reinforcement have several wire cores.

Elastic Press-On Bands with steel wire reinforcement have several wire cores. These wires are embedded in a tire base which is made of a special tough, hard rubber compound. This proven design permits remarkably high load capacities. In addition there are different base constructions of Continental POBs with steel wire reinforcement available: cylindrical, centre-split and offset-split.
Summing up: Our highly damage-resistant and high load bearing Press on Bands are perfect suitable for forklifts in the paper industry, trailers in seaports and also in areas with high cut potential.
