Yokohama introduces new crane tyres

Japanese tyre manufacturer Yokohama will supply Liebherr mobile cranes, Ehingen, with a new tyre for its all terrain cranes.

Yokohama has designed and introduced the new tyre, the 445/95 R25 170F (177E) RB01 for Liebherr’s latest two axle All Terrain crane and will be shown at Bauma.

The new tyres will be rated at 80kph under full load and are said to offer a better ride with reduced rolling resistance leading to improved fuel consumption and less noise. They will be available on all of the product range up to 220 tonne five axle models.
