Nokian Heavy Tyres introduces the world’s strongest forestry tyre customised for CTL (cut-to-length) harvesters. Nokian Forest King F 710/45-26.5, a revolutionary, sturdy cross-ply novelty from the pioneer in forestry tyres, offers the best available reliability and load-bearing capacity for modern harvesters and forwarders.

The Ply Rate (PR) describes the durability of this special tyre, tailored for demanding forest use, is 24. Forestry tyres currently available on the market typically have a PR figure of 16 or 20. The load-bearing capacity of this stable, unparalleled first-class product has increased by more than one tonne, from 6,900 kg (Nokian Forest King F 20 PR) to 8,000 kg (the new Nokian Forest King F 24 PR).

In six- and eight-wheeled forestry machines, this increase in load-bearing capacity corresponds to some 4 cubic metres of pinewood harvested in the summer. Thanks to increased reliability, full loads can also be safely transported despite of the tree species or humidity of the wood.

“The efficiency requirements of modern forestry tyres have increased year by year. In addition to environmental friendliness, machine manufacturers and contractors are looking for products that feature high quality and increasingly better load-bearing capacity and traction. Our new, carefully developed, ultra-strong material solutions enable a durable structure, higher operating pressure and first-class load-bearing capacity. The new Nokian Forest King F is the best of its class, offering all the desired features, ensuring reliability and making harvesting easier than ever before,” says Martti Päivinen, Product Development Manager at Nokian Heavy Tyres.
