SLA R4 : Solideal’s new tire for backhoes and industrial tractors

Solideal is proud to introduce the new SLA R4 tire which has been designed for backhoes and industrial tractors working in general use applications (mixed use ground and concrete). The tire has been optimized to ensure the most comfortable ride on hard surfaces with minimum vibration levels and easy mounting. In addition, the tread provides good traction and is self cleaning as it breaks and ejects the mud.

When comparing to the original Solideal SL R4 design, the two tires are a trade off - the new SLA R4 represents more comfort while the original tire provides extended life.

The new SLA R4 is available in the following sizes:
14.9-24 IND (12 PR)
16.9-24 IND (10 PR)
17.5L-24 IND (10 PR)
19.5L-24 IND (12 PR)
21L-24 IND (12 PR)
18.4-26 IND (12 PR)
16.9-28 IND (12 PR)

Solideal Canada will launch the new Unitrac Tunz in 2009

2009 will be an exciting year for the Solideal Canada Material Handling group. A multitude of new products will become available - one of them being the new Unitrac Tunz tire. This tire will be a huge improvment when compared to the current Tunz. Some of the features of the new tire are:

PERFORMANCE
• Longer life
• Reduced energy consumption
• Excellent traction combined with low vibrations
• High tensile beads mean a slip free operation on standard
industrial wheels

STRENGTH & COMFORT
• Natural rubber compounds for low operating temperature and
long life
• Excellent comfort due to 3-layer design and soft middle layer

STABILITY
• Optimal stability due to flat square tread and excellent base
support on the rim

The new tire will be available in the same sizes as the current Tunz and will be launched by early next year. Please ask your sales representative for more details.
