The SH278 is designed for heavy-duty forklifts in the 5-12 ton capacity range, featuring strong and dense tread patterns with deep treads for extended service life. It is ideal for demanding industrial applications such as steel mills, concrete manufacturing, port operations, and heavy equipment handling. The reinforced bead construction provides good handling and driving safety under heavy loads or sharp turns, making it suitable for the most challenging industrial environments in South America.

The SH278 features reinforced bead construction that significantly improves handling and driving safety under heavy loads or during sharp turns. The reinforced bead area provides a secure connection between the tire and rim, preventing tire slippage on the rim during high-torque maneuvers. This is particularly important for heavy forklifts that frequently make sharp turns in confined warehouse spaces or loading docks. The reinforced construction also resists bead damage from impacts with curbs and dock edges, common in industrial environments.

The SH278 incorporates triple protection against wear, cuts, and punctures. The strong and dense tread pattern distributes loads evenly across the contact surface, reducing localized wear. The cut-resistant compound protects against sharp debris commonly found in industrial environments such as metal scraps and broken pallet fragments. The puncture-resistant tread base provides an additional barrier against penetration. In heavy industrial applications across South America, this triple protection significantly reduces tire-related downtime and replacement costs.

The SH278 delivers exceptional service life in heavy industrial applications, typically providing 3,000-5,000 hours of service depending on operating conditions. The deep tread depth ensures consistent traction and stability throughout the tire life, even under continuous heavy-load operation. In steel mills, port facilities, and heavy manufacturing plants, the combination of deep tread and wear-resistant compound delivers outstanding value. The tire is also retreadable, potentially extending total service life by 40-50% with proper maintenance.
