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.

Nokian Tyres have a wide range of truck tires to keep you safe on the roads

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, the ti

Will the harbor terminals suffer from global trade wars?

Image
The current global trade wars will for sure impact all of use in one way or another. There will for sure impact the amount being delivered and arriving at the main ports. The question is though if it will be a significant and long standing disruption. It might also lead to a shift in how the logistics is done. It will most likely not be a big decline, but it is more likely to stifle the growth. So there will be a similar demand of equipment at the main ports as well as in the various terminals. In the big global logistics network there is a big need for tires if high quality that can manage heavy loads, be durable and have long service life to ensure that there is no disruption in the logistics chain and allow timely deliveries of goods around the globe. You have everything from wheeled equipment in the terminals, such as terminal tractors and RTG-cranes, which have strict requirements on needed terminal tractor tires and RTG-tires . These need to be able to carry very heav

Better mobility and improved versatility with wheeled excavator

Image
The advantage of a wheeled excavator versus one with tracks is that you have much better mobility and can move around much faster. Depending on the work site you can even manage with just an excavator and a dump truck, where the excavator will dig the site and the dump truck can remove all the material from the site. In some cases you would also add a loader that can collect the material and then dump it in the dump truck, this can of course be avoided it the excavator can dump straight into a dump truck, where you would probably need two dump trucks not to slow down the work of the excavator. With a wheeled excavator you will need to make sure that you will get good reliable excavator tires that will be able to provide enough stability and grip, while also being very durable. The same goes for the dump truck and the wheel loader tires , they will need to be very puncture resistant to avoid having tire problems from the sharp objects like rocks on the site. Ending up with
