ROME, Ga. — OTR Engineered Solutions (OTR) has introduced a 32-inch, three-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 three-piece wheel is a real game changer in the forestry industry," OTR President and CEO Tom Rizzi said. "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 three-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.
