Forestry
Firestone, which pioneered the development of specific tyres for forestry applications over 40 years ago, offers a full range of tyres for all applications. These include high-flotation tyres for forwarders and feller-bunchers, as well as deep-tread, robust tyres for log skidders. Log skidders are among the toughest applications for tyres in any industry - this application compares with the severity of primary loading of material in mining activity. For that reason, Firestone skidder tyres are manufactured using the hardest rubber compounds available, giving them ultra-cut-resistant properties. They feature a very strong tyre structure, including a strong under-tread, and deep-stable lugs for good grip under rough, slippery forest floor conditions. Firestone flotation tyres for forwarders and feller-bunchers are low, ultra-wide tyres designed to give maximum flotation in soft floor conditions, while at the same time offering high strength and superior cut resistance. With correct tyre selection critical in forestry applications to ensure the best life from tyres, we offer a tyre selection and advisory service so customers can be certain they have the most appropriate tyre for their application. |
