Trelleborg introduces high power tractor rim
Trelleborg Wheel Systems has introduced the Trelleborg High Knurling solution, engineered for high power tractors. Trelleborg says THK represents a “new concept” that has an advanced knurling design with a higher profile, which should improve high speed and torque performance. A new painting process will also yield greater friction between the rim and the tyre, according to the manufacturer.
“Trelleborg believes that the perfect match between tyre and rim plays an essential role in responding to the requirements of increased engine power and modern transmissions in tractors,” says Paolo Pompei, president of the Agricultural and Forestry Tires. “Efficiency, innovation and care of the environment are key for us when developing our tyres and wheels. Every day we work hard to achieve challenging targets that ensure specific solutions that can secure value for all agricultural and forestry professionals.”
The simultaneous design, development and production of the tyre and rim of the THK complete wheel solution is the result of Trelleborg’s ongoing research and joint development initiatives with leading agricultural equipment manufacturers, according to the manufacturer.
