The company’s Super-Elastic and Press-on-Band (POB) tires are extremely stable and ensure low rolling resistance.

As part of this three-brand strategy, the General Tire Lifter is the super-elastic tire for indoor and outdoor logistics applications with a strong emphasis on durable and rugged performance.

The new Barum Industry solid tire, which is particularly suited to applications with high cost sensitivity and short duty cycles, has been redesigned for operations that only occasionally use their forklifts or where usage is low. For these applications, the Barum industry will provide the required performance without dropping the user.
