    The internal steel framework is fully encapsulated to prevent oxidation, rust, and moisture penetration.

  • Reinforced Sidewalls

    Extra-thick vulcanized rubber and tapered edge profiles protect against curb slashing and lateral impacts from jobsite debris.

  • Low-Vibration Tread

    Optimized lug spacing and pitch geometry absorb shock, reducing undercarriage wear and minimizing cabin vibration.
