The Trelleborg Wheel Systems Pit Stop Line indicator for the company's range industrial tires determines when a forklift tire is worn out and needs replacing. Incorporating an orange line which is embedded into the tire, the indictor is visible on the tire wall and is designed to reveal itself across the surface of the tire when the rubber has reached the end of its lifetime. The Pit Stop Line completely encompasses the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) Manual recommendations on tire safety and enables 100 percent accurate tire safety checks, says the company. With the Pit Stop Line appearing 100 hours or five to 15 working days before the tire needs replacing, operators are able to plan their tire changes in advance.
