Hanover, April 2009. Continental industrial tyres prove themselves on a daily basis in many different areas of application. These premium tyres deliver top performance on a variety of surfaces.

The MPT 80 offers the user a particularly high traction tread pattern with a large ground contact patch. These features ensure superior grip and excellent mobility on soft ground. As well as safety and reliability, high mileage performance is an outstanding characteristic of this tyre making it very economical. The MPT 80 can be used in conjunction with the IC 40, Continental's pneumatic crossply tyre, for applications with arduous conditions. The IC 40 has sturdy sidewalls that provide excellent stability, whilst at the same time ensuring balanced suspension and good driving comfort. The very deep tread on this forklift tyre makes it extremely economical. 

"We like to fit Continental tyres to our MSI 30 T forklifts, because they fully meet the high demands we make in terms of quality and performance“; commented Martin Kunde, product manager at Manitou. "For applications on concrete floors or on soft ground, like gravel, for example, the Continental MPT 80 works well with Manitou semi-industrial forklifts, which are used both inside in halls and outside on rough ground, offering flexibility of use combined with optimum manoeuvrability.“ MSI forklifts are available with load bearing capabilities of 2 to 5 tons
