Navigating the challenging landscapes of forestry operations in New Zealand requires more than just powerful equipment; it demands enhanced traction and durability. West-Traks green tracks are designed to tackle the toughest terrains while improving productivity. These tracks provide superior grip, ensuring your skidders and forwarders perform optimally under various forest conditions.
Force Transmission, Traction and Grip Enhancement
Our product range offers a greater contact area with the ground, leading to uniformly distributed force over the surface. This significant feature increases stability and reduces the risk of machine tilting, particularly over uneven terrain. The result is grip enhancement and stability of forestry machinery, making operations smoother and safer.
The design of these tyre tracks ensures excellent traction and force transmission, adapting to diverse ground conditions. These tracks are especially effective with tyres featuring a special channel, optimising traction and enhancing the machine’s pulling power. This combination improves operational capability and increases output across various forestry tasks.
Lightweight Design with Heavy-Duty Performance
The unique steel compound used in our logging equipment offers a greater weight reduction than other brands. This lowers fuel consumption and increases the load-carrying capacity, allowing machines to pull more wood with less effort. The lighter weight also means less compaction of the forest floor, preserving the natural environment while enhancing machine mobility and speed.
Protecting the Forest Floor and Reducing Emissions
Using our tracks lessens the environmental impact of logging operations. Studies, such as the one conducted by the Biotechnical Faculty of the University of Ljubljana, have shown that these tracks can reduce nominal ground pressure by 30 to 50%, protecting the forest floor from damage. Additionally, the increased contact area optimises the machinery’s draft, leading to lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions, supporting your sustainability goals.
Material Selection and Design
Our logging equipment is crafted from rolled profiles and boron steel, materials selected for their fine structure and even hardness. This ensures durability and resistance to abrasion and impacts, essential qualities in the harsh environments of forestry. The design extends the service life of the tyres by up to 60% and prevents damage from sharp objects, maintaining the integrity of your machinery’s wheels.
