Ascenso broadens portfolio with forestry tyres
Ascenso Tyres is one of the world’s fastest-growing off-highway tyre brands and is now expanding its presence in the forestry tyre segment with the launch of several new high-performance models: FFB 840, FFB 841 and FFB 843 for forestry forwarders and harvesters.
Introducing these latest products, Ascenso Tyres says it engineered the three models to meet the demanding needs of modern forestry operations. As such, they “deliver superior strength, traction, and operational efficiency in demanding environments.”
Sean Cusack, general manager at TyreCall, explained: “Thanks to their high-performance steel-belted cross-ply construction and rubber compound formulation, Ascenso reports that the forestry tyres offer enhanced puncture resistance, reinforced sidewall protection, and a longer service life.”
Derek Hill, general manager at TyreCall NI added: “Ascenso describes the tread pattern as aggressive. This aggression is tempered by optimised lug spacing, which according to Ascenso ensures excellent traction and self-cleaning properties, as well as enhanced stability on uneven, muddy, and debris-filled terrains.”
Combining durability & innovation
“Forestry is one of the toughest applications for tyres,” says Dhaval Nanavati, CEO of Ascenso Tyres. “With the FFB series, we are combining durability and innovation to meet the specific challenges of the forestry segment. This launch reinforces our commitment to offering application-specific solutions across the entire off-highway industry.”
With these new additions, Ascenso aims to offer a forestry tyre range that “meets the real-world demands of heavy-duty operations.” The brand adds: “Designed to support mechanised timber handling and compatible with bogie tracks and chains, the tyres ensure reliable performance across a wide range of forestry terrains and working conditions.”
Ascenso Tyres will initially offer the new forestry tyre line-up in popular forwarder and harvester sizes across global markets, including Europe, North and Latin America. The products add the forestry segment to a tyre portfolio that also includes agricultural, industrial and construction, earthmover and material handling.
