Alliance Strengthen Forestry Position

Alliance has introduced 40 new forestry tyre designs to its existing ranges in an attempt to strengthen its position in the segment. The tyres feature reinforced steel and include flotation forestry tyres for harvesters, agro-forestry R1 tyres for combined applications in forestry and agriculture, and LS forestry tyres for logger skidders.

The new tyres were developed in co-operation with machinery manufacturers, under severe conditions, said David Shahar, head of R&D for Alliance. “Forestry tyres should be able to drive effortlessly in difficult terrain, without puncture and costly down time,” Shahar explained.

Alliance president Joseph Anglister said the company is leveraging its expertise in rugged agricultural and industrial tyre engineering to increase its presence in the forestry industry. “Technologies that have helped Alliance become a leader in radial and flotation technology are helping our customers handle the severe working conditions of forestry job sites,” he said.

Kirkby Tyres is the UK distributor for Alliance.
