The Michelin CrossGrip range is expanding with two new dimensions, 480/70R20 and 480/80R26. These tyres can be fitted to industrial, agricultural, and handling equipment, and Michelin says they are particularly suited to mini loaders, reach forklifts and agricultural tractors up to 200 horsepower.
Michelin has introduced a new 540/80 R38 size in its CrossGrip tyre range for loaders, telehandlers and small tractors. The new model is the largest size in this all-season range, which is suitable for applications on road, grass and snow. The new CrossGrip fitment expands the range to 13 dimensions for original equipment and replacement fitment.
Michelin has introduced two new sizes of its multi-purpose, all-season CrossGrip tyres for operators of backhoe loaders, skid steer loaders, telehandlers and small tractors. The new 440/80 R34 and 480/80 R34 CrossGrip fitments expand the range to 12 dimensions, available on both the original equipment and replacement markets.
Buckinghamshire-based Energy Generator Hire has become the first customer in the UK to specify Michelin’s CrossGrip tyre, fitting nine JCB telehandlers with the new multi-purpose fitment that is designed for operation on roads, grass and in the snow. The company provides specialist generator equipment for outdoor events, with past clients including BBC Hyde Park and the Wilderness Festival. It saw the potential for Michelin’s new 400/80 R24 CrossGrip tyres to help ensure grass remains in pristine condition on sites where its telehandlers are working, having Exelagri dealer Farol Tyres convert its fleet from their existing competitor fitments.
