Inter-lug terraces, another proven Trelleborg concept, have been integrated into the new tread design. By preventing the tread from clogging, inter-lug terraces ensure a self-cleaning tyre that can always work at maximum efficiency.<\/p>\nTrelleborg showcased its extensive portfolio of forestry tyres and complete wheels at Elmia Wood 2017, J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping, Sweden recently.<\/p>\n
As a leading global supplier of tyres and complete wheels for forestry machines, offering highly specialised solutions to create added value for customers, Trelleborg showcased \u00a0its new Twin Forestry tyres series\u00a0T440 and T480 for CTL machines.<\/p>\n
These series combine the best attributes of the previous range with innovative performance-enhancing technology. The latest dimension to be added to the range, the 800\/40-26.5 T480 was on display.<\/p>\n
The new design includes innovative ProgressiveTraction\u2122 and inter-lug terraces technology proven on Trelleborg\u2019s agricultural tyres. This delivers the next generation of self-cleaning, track-compatible tyres with superior traction for tough forestry applications.<\/p>\n
ProgressiveTraction\u2122 was specifically developed to increase tyre efficiency and performance based on the action of a double lug, producing even pressure distribution over the extra wide footprint and less impact on the forest floor.<\/p>\n
Inter-lug terraces, another proven Trelleborg concept, have been integrated into the new tread design. By preventing the tread from clogging, inter-lug terraces ensure a self-cleaning tyre that can always work at maximum efficiency.<\/p>\n
The tyres, made from a newly developed enhanced rubber compound, have also been redesigned to improve track compatibility, so that maximum grip and performance is achieved with and without tracks. The Twin Forestry T440 and T480 series consists of 17 sizes from 22,5 to 34 inches and will be extended in the future.<\/p>\n
The Twin Forestry tyre range is complemented by the skidder T418 range, also to be displayed on the stand, specifically designed for log skidding service with excellent penetration and tear resistance to provide longer tyre life under the most severe operating conditions.<\/p>\n
