Firestone DuraWaste L6S for Waste Handling and Demolition Markets

Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, Off Road Tire division, is introducing a new version of the DuraWaste Bias Ply tire to North America.

The new Firestone DuraWaste L6S bias ply tire is available in three sizes, 26.5x25, 29.5x25 and 65/35x33. The retreadable DuraWaste L6S is specially designed for the harsh environments of waste handling and demolition debris removal. Its smooth ultra deep tread provides extra cut resistance and helps extend tire life.

“The DuraWaste L6S is perfect for the wheel loaders and dozers that handle debris or work in scrap yards,” said Shawn Rasey, president, Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, Off Road division. “The DuraWaste L6S tire’s deep tread has 40% more tread depth than the L5S, increasing productivity and reducing downtime.”
