Trelleborg tyres at ScotPlant
At the recent ScotPlant Show, the largest construction equipment exhibition in Scotland, Trelleborg Tyres showcased its top-of-the-line specialty tyres made for construction applications.
Trelleborg's EMR range features a multi-surface tread design and is said to provide exceptional grip and control across various terrains, ensuring optimal performance in all conditions from sand to rock, gravel, and soil. The radial all-steel construction and reinforced carcass offer long-term durability and equal load distribution, says Trelleborg, translating to a comfortable drive and reduced fuel consumption for operators.
A highlight of the EMR series was the EMR1051 tyre range, featuring a premium radial pneumatic design tailored for loaders. Construction professionals were said to be particularly impressed by its suitability for intensive loading applications in open pits, quarries, infrastructure and building construction, and landscaping.
Brawler tyres
In the waste and recycling industry, tough conditions at waste transfer stations and recycling facilities make operations even harder. These conditions require tyre solutions that can withstand severe operational stress to minimise downtime caused by tyre changes or failures.
The Trelleborg Brawler High Performance Solid (HPS) line has been engineered for intense recycling operations, boosting waste management for years, growing alongside the industry to tackle bigger loads and tougher tasks. Its latest addition, the Brawler HPS Soft Ride, has proven to give 40% greater deflection when compared to standard solid tyres, without compromising tyre life.
The Brawler’s unique elliptical sidewall construction is made for greater shock absorption, ensuring 30% less vibration to maximise operator comfort, no matter the application, with its Soft Ride compound.
