Trelleborg debuts new High Power forestry tires

TRÊS LAGOAS, Brazil—Trelleborg A.B. is launching its T418 High Power tire, created for the eucalyptus forestry business, at Show Florestal, set for May 24-26 in Tres Lagoas.

The T418 tires are designed to handle the tough terrain of eucalyptus forestry, with"unbeaten" traction and increased stability to boost productivity and sustainability. The tires are created for log skidding service with maximum cut and tear resistance, featuring armored plies and a steel belt that protect the carcass against stumps, boulders and rocks to provide a longer tire life under severe conditions, Trelleborg said.

The enhanced tire design is available in 35.5L-32TL, with a 30 ply rating and 30.5L-32TL, with a 32 ply rating.

"Our tire expertise and innovation is embedded into our advanced solutions across the highly specialized range of tires for the agriculture and forestry sectors. As a tire expert, Trelleborg anticipates customers' needs, providing high performance, ecosystem friendly tire solutions," said Marcelo Natalini, president of Trelleborg Wheel Systems South America.

"We understand that eucalyptus trees play a major role in the Brazilian economy and cover more that 5.5 million hectares of land. Our new T418 High Power tires, T410 Agroforest tires and Twin Forestry 480 range of tires are designed to support forestry professionals in this vital industry."

Trelleborg also will display its T410 Agroforest tire and the Twin Forestry 480 tire range at the show.
