The importance of the forest for the Nordic countries


Forestry tires

Forestry has been very important source of income for the Nordic countries and it still represent a major industry in those countries. This is the reason why Nokian Tyres the Finnish tire manufacturer has gained such a global position in producing the best forestry tires. The company has worked closely with the industry and with equipment manufacturers to continuously develop better and better tires that area able to get the job done even though the tough circumstances. They are able to satisfy the customers need for very durable and load bearing tires that can work with the bigger and heavier equipment.

Working closely with the users where they innovate and collaborate to develop through decades of dedication to forestry the best tires possible. This is why they are today the number one in forestry tires. Through swamps, bogs and rocky terrain that the equipment have to work in, they will need tires that can handle the load and provide the grip without loosing their world class durability. The main of forestry in the Nordics is cut to length technology, so the main range of tires is for harvesters and forwarders, but they also have skidder tires.

Their harvester tires and their forwarder tires are clear market leaders and will not let you down. It can be very costly to have tire failures deep in the forest, so you want to have extremely durable tires that will not let you down. The tires also need to perform in the difficult terrain, where driving a vehicle is not very optimal. You therefor need excellent grip, which these tires are able to deliver. IN case you will need additional grip, tracks and chains can easily be added for additional grip in difficult terrain. The trees grow all over the forest and far away from roads, so you will need to have the right equipment to be able to get to them, fell them and get the logs to the landing where they can be loaded on a truck. The trucks also need to have special tires so that they can get safely from the landing after being fully loaded until they reach the highway. This requires tires with good on and off road properties, so that you don’t get stuck and that the tires don’t wear out too fast.

Maintaining All-Season Tires

Image
All-season tires can provide excellent performance on the road if adequately maintained. They are designed to handle a variety of road conditions, including wet highways, dry roads, and light snow. In low temperatures, the tread of the all-season tires hardens something that reduces the traction between the road and the tires. If the place you come from usually has icy or snowy roads in winter, you will need to have an extra set of winter tires specifically for the cold season. There are many things you need to do to maintain all-season properly and get the most of them. First of all, you need to drive carefully. If you are the kind of person who likes driving your car too fast, you may need to slow down a little bit if you want your tires to last. Driving too fast and braking harshly causes the tires to overheat, something that in turn causes the sidewalls to weaken and potentially fail. This kind of driving can also cause small cracks to form on the tires. Always practic...

Since we haven’t reached the paperless offices nor has the Internet taken over from all books and newspapers, there is still a high demand for paper from trees. This is why the forest industry is still growing and the machines tend to get bigger and heavier. The bigger the investment is to heavy equipment the better utilization you want from that asset. It is therefore important to limit any downtime and make sure that it can be fully utilized. The main equipment that you work with and that will need  forest tires  is the harvester and forwarder and the feller buncher and skidder.

Truck tires are some of the most used tires as you have trucks on all continents around the world delivering goods throughout our nations. Everything we find in our stores have come from somewhere and it has all arrived by truck to the stores. Some can come as far away as other continents and shipped via freight containers on our oceans to reach a port for further distribution around the continent. So the trucks will have to travel very long distances and have to endure a lot of different weather conditions. This will put a lot of pressure on the truck tires  to be able to ensure that you get to the end destination on time regardless of weather conditions. When it comes to commercial tires is that they are made to endure long distances, but you will need to make sure that you select tires that have been developed with the highest quality and have been tested to endure the conditions that you will drive your trucks through. If you will experience winter conditions, th...
