Trelleborg Introduces New Forestry Products

Trelleborg Wheel Systems has launched a number of new products, including upgraded forestry tyres from the Twin Forestry range and new rims. Six dimensions in the Twin Forestry line have been upgraded, either with upgraded capacity or a higher load index. The four sizes with upgraded load capacity are: 750/45-30.5 T428 173A8; 750/50-26.5 T428 174A8; 650/60-26.5 T428 172A8; and 600/55-26.5 T422 160A8. The 710/45-26.5 dimension has been expanded with two new versions with a higher load index: 710/45-26.5 T428 168A8 and 710/45-26.5 T422 168A8. In addition, Trelleborg also released a new 24.5-inch rim dimension, a flat bar reinforcement that is a cross between the unique box reinforcement and the round bar reinforcement, and a new hump, suitable for forestry tyres with a high load index.

“We are investing heavily in further developing the range,” said Lars Eriksson, product manager for forestry tyres. “Our focus is on maximum customer benefit in terms of the optimal balance between important tyre properties, such as durability, service life and traction, with consistent ground care and comfort.” Trelleborg will be displaying its new products during the Elmia Wood trade show, which takes place June 3-6 in Jönköping, Sweden (Tire Review/Akron)
