Trelleborg features the new TM1000 High Power with its THK rim, anticipating the needs of farming professionals at Agritechnica 2011
11 November 2011
Trelleborg Wheel Systems presents the best of its high-quality tires and complete wheel solutions in hall 9, stand D30 at the Agritechnica show to be held in Hannover, Germany, from 15 to 19 November, 2011.
The theme on the stand, “Flying into the future”, represents the aim and values of the Trelleborg initiative for the future of agriculture. These are the introduction of a complete wheel solution engineered to boost efficiency and productivity for farmers and contractors, meeting the demand of the increasing load and torque of the newest generation of engines and transmissions while fully respecting the environment. The theme will be illustrated by a real aircraft flying over the stand, fitted with TM1000 High Power agricultural tires.
Innovations displayed at the show will include the new giant 2.3 meter tire IF 750/75R46 TM1000 High Power with its 46-inch rim, the new IF 650/65R34 TM1000 High Power tire, the THK concept of agricultural rim, the TMBlueTM in size 650/65R38 and the 750/60R30.5 Twin Radial tire with new Tread design.
The ambition of the TM1000 High Power along with its new Trelleborg THK rim is to redefine the standards within the agricultural industry. The complete wheel is currently undergoing a significant number of indoor and outdoor tests in order to meet ambitious performance targets under the most severe conditions, both in the field and on the road.
During field operations the tire gives a traction capacity five to eight percent higher compared to other premium brand competitors, with a five percent wider footprint at low inflation pressure enhanced by Trelleborg BlueTire™ technology. On the road, premium rolling resistance performance is expected to lower fuel consumption and emissions by four to six percent compared to the average of the market, providing farmers with savings up to 1,300 EUR per year.
During 2012, TM1000 High Power range will be enlarged with the introduction of six further sizes between 30 and 42 inches to fit the newest breed of high power tractors.
Specifically engineered for high power tractors, the THK features a new concept of rim that has an advanced knurling design with a higher profile, which maximize performance when the tire is operating at high speed and torque. In addition, a new painting process is used that maximizes the friction characteristics of the rim when the tire is fitted.
The new size 750/60R30.5 tire has superior floatation characteristics on trailers and slurry tankers, to further respect the soil and improve driver’s comfort by lowering noise. In addition, long tire life contributes significantly to lower overall operating costs for the farmer.
With 24 exhibition halls, over 320,000 m² exhibition floor space and more than 2,600 exhibitors, Agritechnica is the world’s largest exhibition for agricultural machinery and equipment. www.agritechnica.com
