In addition to showcasing its full range of tyres for passenger cars and trucks, Linglong will introduce several new tyres for agricultural machinery, construction equipment and reach stackers at the upcoming The Tire Cologne, Germany, June 4 to 6.
The new LINGLONG SPRING ULTRA FLEX are specifically designed for harvesters. They can carry up 40% more load at the same tyre pressure as equivalent-sized, standard radial tyres. With a specific tread pattern and more flexible sidewalls and a flat crown, these tyres deliver a longer footprint that more evenly distributes machine weight, reducing soil compaction. Its strong and well-engineered casings let it carry the heaviest loads without compromising operation speed, while its reinforced shoulder improves stubble resistance.
The LINGLONG FL300 is a new floatation tyre for large agricultural machines and trailers. With a large contact patch, this tyre offers maximum floatation and soil protection. In addition the new tyre offers excellent traction and self-cleaning in combination with heavier load carrying characteristics, while its solid rounded shoulders increase manoeuvrability and reduce scrub. Thanks to its reinforced bead and tread design, the FL300 is ideal for multipurpose use on any kind of soil or on the road.
The LINGLONG LR400 was designed from the get-go with the demanding conditions for construction equipment in mind. Its special block and directional pattern design combines excellent traction and stability, while providing a smooth ride and precision manoeuvrability. The tyre is made of a unique compound that ensures a longer tyre service life thanks to its resistance against cuts and punctures, while the reinforced structure design provides excellent enduring performance.
The LINGLONG LP401 is a dedicated tyre for reach stackers. Thanks to the G3 low-temperature vulcanisation process, tyre durability has been increased by another 4%. The optimised rubber-to-void ratio provides better stability, while its deeper tread depths enhance traction. The tyres are made of a new compound that offers up to 8% more wear resistance, while also reducing heat generation by 3%.
“We will use this year’s edition of The Tire Cologne to demonstrate we’re not just any tyre manufacturer from China,” says Jean-Paul Spijker, Director Sales and Marketing Specialty Tire Europe at Linglong. “In several tests our tyres have outperformed the competition when it comes to grip, braking distance and fuel efficiency. This only underlines our commitment to quality, and combined with our competitive pricing, we have an interesting offering for OEMs and aftermarket suppliers, in the passenger car and truck sector, but also for agricultural, construction and heavy duty machinery,” he adds.
At The Tire Cologne Linglong will be in Hall 7, Stand D040 – E049.
