New Tires for Construction Equipment from Michelin
The Michelin company has introduced new tires for construction equipment to the Russian consumer. This took place at the thirteenth specialized exhibition "Construction Equipment and Technologies 2012" (STT-2012), which was held in Moscow.
The first novelty was the radial tire Michelin X-Crane+, designed for mobile cranes. It has a speed index of F, meaning it can reach speeds of 80 km/h with a load of 6,700 kilograms. It can be used for both highway driving and directly on construction sites. Its main positive features are, first and foremost, high wear resistance: compared to the previous Michelin X-Crane+ model, it will last 15% longer thanks to a unique rubber compound in the tread. Secondly, this tire was designed to provide even wear throughout its entire service life, ensuring safety and a high level of comfort. And thirdly, the engineers of the French company simplified the tire mounting process, which reduces the downtime of the equipment.
This tire in the 445/95R25 segment has already appeared on the market.
The second novelty from Michelin was the Michelin XADN+, a tire for articulated dump trucks. It is used in the construction of infrastructure facilities, such as roads, tunnels, and more. This is a functional and adaptable tire for complex conditions. This model is intended to replace the previously released Michelin XADN.
The features of this novelty include reinforced sidewalls, rigid breakers, and a frame, which provide an extended service life. The service life has increased by 8-15%.
In addition, this tire was developed using a unique technology that preserves the need for the raw materials used.
The Michelin XADN+ also went on sale this summer in the 29.5 R25 size.
