Trelleborg tyres prove a challenge for the World’s Strongest Man

Trelleborg tyres supported The World’s Strongest Man contest in Long Beach, California, U.S. with four of its TM600 tyres used during the “Super Yoke” event.

Tuesday, September 25, was Trelleborg’s day at the World’s Strongest Man competition. The event was staged in front of the Queen Mary ship where Trelleborg TM600 tyres were used in the “Super Yoke” event. Two competitors at a time carried two 520/85R38 TM600 tyres on a yoke down a 30 yard track. The combined weight carried by each competitor was 1,000 lbs. Ten athletes raced against the clock, with the winner of the event having the fastest time.

“These strong men are true athletes. They demonstrated tremendous strength and focus in lifting the tyres and yoke and carrying them down the 30 yard track,” comments Chris Neidert, Operations Manager of Trelleborg North America.

“We think it’s the same type of strength and focus that makes Trelleborg a leader in the agricultural industry. We wish to thank the people at IMG for giving us this unique opportunity to increase Trelleborg’s brand awareness in North America.”
