Steelbelted industrial tires incorporate one or more layers of high-tensile steel belts within the tread area, a design that significantly enhances structural strength, stability, and durability. The steel belts are arranged circumferentially to reinforce the tire’s shape, preventing deformation under heavy loads and ensuring even tread contact with the ground—critical for equipment like forklifts and port terminal handlers that carry heavy payloads. The steel reinforcement also improves tread stability, reducing tread squirm during maneuvering and promoting uniform wear, which extends the tire’s service life. Additionally, steel belts enhance puncture resistance by creating a rigid barrier that deflects sharp debris, making these tires suitable for debris-prone environments like construction sites or mining areas. The combination of steel belts and high-quality rubber compound delivers a balance of strength and flexibility, allowing the tire to handle both smooth indoor surfaces and rough outdoor terrain.
