Conti Promotes ‘Sturdy’ Simex SE65
While Continental’s industrial tyre portfolio doesn’t include any own-name OTR tyres following (Czech Rubber Group CGS currently owns the rights to use this name in the OTR segment), the Conti industrial portfolio does include tyres sold under the Simex brand. According to the company, these have been specifically designed to meet the demands of the port and harbour industry and also for use on earth-moving equipment. The Simex range contains highly competitive products for the construction industry, including the Simex SE65.
Conti represntatives report that Simex demonstrates the quality of its products through the brand's strong presence in the original equipment sector and it is the number one imported tyre in the Chinese port and harbour business. In addition to tyres for port vehicles, such as reach stackers and RTGs (rubber tyre gantries) found at the port/railway/road transport interface, products for use on earth-moving equipment are particularly well-known in Europe. The Simex range boasts “extremely reliable crossply tyres” for applications in construction, mining and excavation and “low usage costs around the world.”
The Simex SE65 is said to be ideal for applications on earth-moving equipment like wheeled loaders and bulldozers, which are used under arduous conditions in quarries or mining, for example. The tread pattern on this tyre is very deep, whilst the almost flat tyre contour ensures particularly even ground pressure distribution and the facing notches in the tread pattern guarantee optimum traction. The rubber compound used in the tyre is particularly resistant to cuts and wear. The SE65 with an extremely deep tread (Super-Deep, L5) is available in two different versions with either 24 or 30 ply rating. The PR 30 version is approved for a maximum load of 21,200 kg at the inflation pressure of 4.25 bar, with a top speed of 6 mph when fully laden.
The most common size used in the UK is the 35/65-33 SE65 L5 which is available in PR 42. The PR 42 has a max load capacity of 25,750kg at the inflation pressure of 6.0 bar
