Trelleborg to roll out Brawler OTR solid tyres

Trelleborg Wheel Systems is planning s global roll out of its Brawler range of large off-the-road solid tyres.

The Brawler range includes specialist tyres for the most demanding environments of waste, recycling and underground mining. The range perfectly complements Trelleborg’s existing range of premium tyres for materials handling applications and develops the company’s already successful presence in the construction segment.

Roberto Zampieri, Construction Business Development Manager Europe for Trelleborg Wheel Systems, Industrial Tires, says: “Brawler is particularly suited to the waste and recycling industries. Many customers in these industries are making the switch from either pneumatics or foam filled pneumatics to solid tyres on large applications. Sites often operate 24/7 and require tyres that last longer, need little maintenance and deliver the best ‘Total Cost of Ownership’ over their whole life.

“The Brawler Solidflex range was developed to maximise user comfort without compromising life or performance.  It uses a patented elliptical hole pattern in the side wall, allowing for much greater deflection over broken terrain; vital for applications where drivers are working on rough ground.”

The Brawler range is well known across North America where it is used extensively in the scrap metal and waste industries as well as in underground mining. It offers superior performance for construction machinery including loaders, backhoes, skid steers, telehandlers and material handlers and is available in wheel sizes from 20 inch skid steer up to 35 inch for wheel loaders.

Brawler will be on display at the Kal Tire stand, number OA210A, at the Resource Efficiency and Waste Management Solution exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham, England, from 10 to 12 September, 2013.
