OTR Introduces 3-Piece Forestry Wheel for Improved Productivity, Reduced Downtime
OTR Engineered Solutions (OTR) has introduced a 32’’, 3-piece wheel for log skidders and forwarders in forestry applications. The unique multi-piece design offers many benefits, including increased productivity, reduced downtime, and enhanced efficiency. “The new 3-piece wheel is a real game changer in the forestry industry,” said Tom Rizzi, president and CEO. “This solution can help customers increase their load carrying capacity, while simplifying the process of changing tires in the field.” The robust design of the 3-piece wheel allows tires to simply slide on and off the rim when mounting and dismounting without the need for specialized equipment. Not only does this process reduce downtime, but it also minimizes the risk of bead damage since the tire does not need to be pried over the rim. Furthermore, tires with higher ply ratings can be installed to help maximize the productivity of the power unit. The 3-piece wheel parallels all aspects of OTR’s industry-leading 32’’ single piece wheels, which have been proven in the harshest of conditions by top tier OEM customers. The new design reduces the potential for tire indexing, or spinning, on the rim. Multiple other features are built in for improved strength, torque retention, tire sealing, and overall durability. “There are many benefits to our 3-piece wheel design. Increased load capacity, reduced indexing, and easier tire mounting and dismounting offer huge advantages in the forestry industry,” added Mr. Rizzi. The new design was showcased in the company’s booth at DEMO International, September 19-21, 2024, in Venosta, Quebec.
