Ceat Specialty Introducing Forestry Tire Range
Tue, 22 Oct 2024 | PRODUCTS
CEAT Specialty, which has been serving the North American market with Ag and OTR tires for seven years, is adding a forestry tire range to its North American portfolio, including tires for log skidders, forwarder harvesters and other forestry equipment.
“The introduction of our forestry tire range signifies a pivotal achievement in our ongoing journey of expansion,” said CEAT Specialty Chief Executive Amit Tolani. “Building on our achievements in agriculture, industry, mining and port applications, where we have consistently delivered top-quality products, we are thrilled to add a forestry tire collection to our portfolio.”
CEAT Specialty’s forestry tire range includes the new CEAT LOGGER XL (LS2) for log skidders. It excels in harsh forestry environments with a reinforced sidewall and shoulder protectors to guard against impacts and cuts. A multi-layer nylon carcass with wide steel breakers provides excellent puncture resistance. Sizes currently available are: 23.1-26 LS2 16PR, 28L-26 LS2 20PR, and 30.5L-32 LS2 26PR.
In addition, the CEAT FOREST XL for forestry forwarders and harvesters features wide, robust lugs for maximum traction. A specially designed tread and sidewall compound shields against cuts and tears in harsh forestry environments. A uniquely designed bead area prevents rim slippage. It is currently available in the 710/45-26.5 LS2 24PR size.
Tolani added, “The North American market is extremely important to CEAT Specialty. Expanding our portfolio to include forestry tires is a great example of our commitment to working closely with our distributor and dealer partners to address market needs.”
