Increased track compatibility for Alliance 643 Forestar III range

Working in the forestry industry is no easy task, comments Yokohama-ATG (Y-ATG), therefore forestry tyres must be “durable, stable, and able to handle steep slopes safely and efficiently.” Supplementing tyres with tracks improves grip and traction, especially on challenging terrains such as steep or soft ground. Y-ATG is now providing users of Olofsfors tracks a further option by introducing the Alliance 643 Forestar III in size 710/45-26.5, enabling anyone already using this popular dimension to retain their existing tracks.

Y-ATG considers the Alliance 643 Forestar III to be “equally capable of operations with and without tracks.” The tyre’s larger tread radius and flatter tread profile, horizontal grooves for enhanced track fitment as well as flat centre lugs for improved traction make for “perfect track compatibility.” Two additional track manufacturers, Clarks and Pewag, have also approved the mounting and use of their tracks on the 643 Forestar III.

Made tough

The Alliance 643 Forestar III comes with reinforced nylon casing and advanced compounds that provide 120 per cent of the wear resistance and chip/chunk resistance of standard forestry compounds. It features steel belts, hexagonal bead technology (prevents rim slip and bead failure), wider shoulders and a unique shoulder buttress design (strengthens the sidewall).

According to Y-ATG, the 643 Forestar III tyre range offers efficiency, safe operations and effective soil protection with sizes 710/40-22.5 (TT & TL), 710/40-24.5 (TT), 710/45-26.5 (TT & TL), 750-55-26.5 (TT & TL) and 780/50-28.5 (TT & TL). The versatility size: 710/45-26.5 (seamlessly compatible with Olofsfors tracks & effortlessly interchangeable for enhanced functionality) is available in 20 PR for tube types and 24 PR for tubeless types.
