Nokian Tyres has unveiled a major innovation for the forestry industry with the introduction of a new tyre size for its Forest King F2 range. The new 30.5” tyre is specifically designed to meet the growing demands of Cut to Length (CTL) forestry machines, which are increasingly larger and more powerful, necessitating robust and efficient tyre solutions.
The Forest King F2 tyre family is a staple in the forestry sector, known for its reliability and durability in challenging environments. This latest addition, the 30.5” tyre, represents a significant advancement in meeting the needs of modern harvesters and forwarders. These machines are critical for the industry’s productivity, and as the demand for more efficient equipment rises, Nokian Tyres is leading the charge with solutions tailored to these evolving requirements.
“In forestry, productivity is crucial. Demand for more productive equipment is pushing machine manufacturers to develop forwarders capable of transporting more wood with fewer driving cycles,” says Teemu Vainionpää, Product Manager at Nokian Heavy Tyres. “The new 30.5” size for our Forest King F2 tyre family is a direct response to this demand, offering increased load capacity and improved performance to meet the needs of the latest generation of forwarders.”
The Nokian Tyres Forest King F2 is engineered to excel in the rigorous conditions of forestry work. Its protective tread design, featuring robust shoulders, ensures excellent functionality with tracks and chains, while its diagonal structure fortified with steel provides superior puncture protection. These features make the Forest King F2 a top choice for forestry professionals who need reliable, high-performance tyres that can withstand the toughest environments.
The introduction of the 30.5” size brings several enhancements:
To maximise the benefits of the new tyre size, Nokian Tyres offers the Forest King F2 as part of a complete wheel package. This includes a matching heavy-duty wheel (size AG26.00x30.5”) and inner tube (size 780/55-30.5”), designed to work seamlessly with the tyre to deliver the best possible performance in forestry applications.
This complete solution underscores Nokian Tyres’ commitment to providing innovative products that not only meet the current demands of the CTL segment but also anticipate future needs. By ensuring that the tyre and wheel function as a perfect match, Nokian Tyres delivers enhanced productivity and efficiency for forestry professionals.
The new 30.5” Forest King F2 tyre is available now, allowing forestry operators to immediately benefit from its advanced features. Interested parties can visit the Nokian Tyres website for more information and to find a dealer near them.
The tyre will make its world premiere at the FinnMetko trade fair in Jämsä, Finland, from August 29 to 31. Visitors to the fair can see the new tyre in action at the Nokian Tyres booth, number 620.
With this latest launch, Nokian Tyres continues to set the standard in forestry tyres, delivering innovative solutions that enhance the productivity and efficiency of forestry operations.
