The Bridgestone VHS3 civil engineering tyre is a radial tyre designed for all-terrain cranes operating in the quarrying and construction sectors. Its focus can be summed up in three qualities sought for this type of machine: long service life, lightweight design and low rolling resistance. These three areas are especially important for a mobile crane, which has to cover long distances on the road between worksites while carrying very high loads once on site.
Its service life is based on a tread compound that is highly resistant to wear, combined with a new tread pattern that ensures regular, even wear over time, guaranteeing a tyre that maintains its performance mile after mile. Its casing is also designed to combine two usually opposing requirements, lightness and strength, which directly contributes to the tyre’s low rolling resistance and therefore to keeping fuel consumption under control during transfer journeys, without sacrificing the strength needed to carry heavy loads.
