Continental and JLG sign supply agreement for telehandlers

TeleMaster tire is the result of joint development of Continental and JLG

Technology company Continental and manufacturer of lift equipment JLG have just signed a supply agreement naming Continental the solid tire provider for JLG’s telehandlers for the next five years. During this period, Continental’s TeleMaster is given priority as the solid tire for all JLG telehandlers manufactured and sold.

The solid OTR tire was created in a joint development effort of Continental and JLG. Thanks to the proven Continental compound for solid tires, it comes with low rolling resistance reducing heat build-up. In addition, the tire offers a rugged tread to handle rough surfaces at worksites.

“The TeleMaster is a true win-win outcome of the collaboration with JLG”, says Pavel Prouza, head of sales and marketing, the Americas at Continental Commercial Specialty Tires. “Us at Continental were able to transfer and extend our sound knowledge of solid tire compounds from the industrial to the OTR tire segment, while providing JLG with a solution tailored to their individual needs.”
