Trelleborg Tires Unveils Advanced Tyre Technology at ScotPlant Show
With changing regulations and new technology, the UK construction industry faces many challenges, and tyres play a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of construction operations.
Trelleborg Tires has taken the lead in engineering and manufacturing tyre solutions tailored to these unique demands. With a focus on durability and performance, Trelleborg Tires, a leading OTR equipment tyres brand, empowers users to tackle their toughest jobs with ease and confidence, enhancing productivity.
At ScotPlant Show, the largest construction equipment exhibition in Scotland, Trelleborg Tires showcased its top-of-the-line speciality tyres to power critical construction applications. These tyres offer greater durability and performance even in the harshest environments, and Trelleborg Tires takes it one step further by combining its tyre expertise with cutting-edge technology. By introducing new compounds and wider treads, Trelleborg Tires products deliver better fuel efficiency and reduce downtime, resulting in more significant cost savings across construction projects of all sizes.
EMR Series: Performance and Reliability
Trelleborg’s EMR range stole the spotlight at the ScotPlant Show, demonstrating its capability to thrive in demanding construction environments. With a multi-surface tread design, the EMR tyres provide exceptional grip and control across various terrains, ensuring optimal performance in all sand, rock, gravel, and soil conditions. The radial all-steel construction and reinforced carcass offer long-term durability and equal load distribution, translating to a comfortable drive and reduced operator fuel consumption.
A highlight of the EMR series was the EMR1051 tyre range, featuring a premium radial pneumatic design tailored for loaders. Construction professionals were particularly impressed by its suitability for intensive loading applications in open pits, quarries, infrastructure and building construction, and landscaping.
Brawler Tyres: Durability Re-Defined
In the waste and recycling industry, harsh conditions at waste transfer stations and recycling facilities make operations even harder. These conditions require tyre solutions to withstand severe operational stress and 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 and growing alongside the industry to tackle more oversized loads and more challenging 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. Its 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.
