In construction news, Trellborg Wheel Systems will soon introduce its Brawler line of large off-the-roads solid tires to the global market that includes specialist tires for the demanding environments of waste, recycling, and underground mining.
“Brawler is particularly suited to the waste and recycling industries. Many customers in these industries are making the switch from either pneumatics or foam filled pneumatics to solid tires on large applications," said Roberto Zampieri, construction business development manager in Europe for Trelleborg Wheel Systems, Industrial Tires. "Sites often operate 24/7 and require tires that last longer, need little maintenance and deliver the best ‘Total Cost of Ownership’ over their whole life."
“The Brawler Solidflex range was developed to maximize user comfort without compromising life or performance. It uses a patented elliptical hole pattern in the side wall, allowing for much greater deflection over broken terrain; vital for applications where drivers are working on rough ground.”
The Brawler range is is used in the scrap metal and waste industries as well as in underground mining. It suited for construction machinery including loaders, backhoes, skid steers, telehandlers, and material handlers and is available in wheel sizes from 20 in. for skid steers to 35 in. for wheel loaders.
Brawler will be on display at the Kal Tire stand, number OA210A, at the Resource Efficiency and Waste Management Solution exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham, England, Sept. 10-12, 2013.
