Hanover/Munich, April 2010. The Continental portfolio of industrial tyres also includes products sold under the Simex brand. These tyres have been specifically designed to meet the demands of the port and harbour industry and also for use on earth-moving equipment. The Simex range contains highly competitive products for the construction industry, including the Simex SE65.

Based in Malaysia, Simex demonstrates the quality of its products through the brand's strong presence in the Original Equipment sector. It is the No. 1 imported tyre in the Chinese port and harbour business. In addition to tyres for port vehicles, such as reach stackers and RTGs (rubber tyre gantries) found at the port/railway/road transport interface, products for use on earth-moving equipment are particularly well-known in Europe. Simex supplies extremely reliable crossply tyres for applications in construction, mining and excavation, where they have demonstrated their high performance and low usage costs around the world.

The Simex SE65 is ideal for applications on earth-moving equipment like wheeled loaders and bulldozers, which are used under arduous conditions in quarries or mining, for example. The tread pattern on this tyre is very deep, whilst the almost flat tyre contour ensures particularly even ground pressure distribution and the facing notches in the tread pattern guarantee optimum traction. The rubber compound used in the tyre is particularly resistant to cuts and wear. The SE65 with an extremely deep tread (Super-Deep, L5) is available in two different versions with either 24 or 30 ply rating. The PR 30 version is approved for a maximum load of 21,200 kg at the inflation pressure of 4,25 bar, with a top speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) when fully laden.

The specific size designations, based on a tyre width of 885 mm and a diameter of 2049 mm, are as follows:
