Vipal works with a wide range of treads in addition to the VT820 and VT220, which are developed according to the needs of different markets where it operates and serving many different applications, offering excellent cost per kilometer. The brand’s proprietary treads are among these, such as the DV-RT4, DV-UM3, DV-RL, VRT3 and DV-RM.
