Alcoa Releases 17.5×6.75-inch Wheel for Low Deck Trailers
Alcoa has launched a new 17.5 x 6.75 trailer wheel with 10 bolt holes on a 225 mm PCD. The wheel is comes in sizes 245/70 R 17.5 and 235/75 R 17.5 and will be available in Europe from mid-August. It is suitable for: low deck trailers for transport of heavy and oversized vehicles and loads; trailers and semi-trailers for volume transport; special trailers for transport of passenger cars.
The new wheel is only compatible with drum brakes and is suitable for dual mounting. The maximum load is 3000 kg per wheel, equal to load index 146. Compared to steel wheels of the same size, Alcoa representatives point out that their forged wheel is: lower weight (only 13.7 kg); better heat dissipation, resulting in less tyre wear; great looks for these special vehicles.
Alcoa distributors in the UK and Eire are Tyre-Line Ltd. and Midland Tyre Services.
