GRI launches Gripex LT122 loader tyre

GRI has introduced a new tyre for heavy-duty loader applications, the Gripex LT122. The Sri Lankan tyre maker says the LT22 features a sturdy and robust nylon casing that provides extraordinary impact and shock resistance for extended tyre life. It adds that the tyre’s tread compound ensures resistance against wear and cuts, whilst the tread design enables higher traction for better productivity.

“The inter lug design of the Gripex LT122 is unique,” states GRI. “The tyre has unmatched puncture resistance and durability for less downtime in operations. This is of the utmost importance when overcoming obstacles on the ground, which expose the tire to the serious risks of puncture or casing deterioration.”

Available at launch as a 14.9-24 tyre, the Gripex LT122 will soon be available in further sizes. The GRI range for loader applications is also complemented by the Gripex LT100 in size 12.5/80-18 and Gripex LT300 in size 9.00-16.

“To build great structures and roads requires vision and the equipment to bring them to life,” states Dr Mahesha Ranasoma, chief executive officer of GRI. “Earthmovers, loaders and excavators, rely on their tyres to provide the stability needed to perform effectively. At GRI, we aim to effectively deliver the high-performance construction tyres that these machines depend on to move material.”
