*“Zero Limits” refers to the avoidance of typical failure risks and maintenance requirements associated with air-filled tires.
In material handling business applications, tires face extreme stress. Yet often it‘s not wear that results in replacement. Damage causes sudden or gradual air loss. With solid tires, that’s not an issue. No air means no air loss — it’s that simple.
Solid tires offer many more advantages. Their solid construction with no air inside compresses only slighty under load, giving them exceptional load capacity and unbeatable stability. The limits of pneumatic tires simply don’t apply.
Continental solid tires. Zero air. Zero limits.
We offer two solid tires construction types: Super-Elastic Tires and Press-on-Bands.
Both, Super Elastics and Press-On-Bands, have the following strengths:
| Super Elastics | Press-On-Bands |
| + Tilting stability | ++ Tilting stability |
| + High loads with small dimensions | ++ High loads especially in small dimensions |
| Mountable on industrial pneumatic rims | Dedicated POB rim |
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.

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. 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.
