BRIDGESTONE <strong>VCH</strong> / <strong>VCH</strong>D OFF-THE-ROAD TYRESFOR INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS<strong>Bridgestone</strong> has a wide range of expertise in thedevelopment and manufacture of steelradial tyres for container handlingapplications. In order to maximizeoperating efficiency, the <strong>VCH</strong> and<strong>VCH</strong>D were designed by focusingon straddle carrier usage.New tread compoundAs the result of field tests, <strong>Bridgestone</strong> hasdeveloped an optimal tread compound.

The steel radial construction ofthese tyres assures sufficient heatresistance despite their deep tread design.Even wearThanks to GUTT, an advanced tyre designmethod developed by <strong>Bridgestone</strong>, the <strong>VCH</strong>and <strong>VCH</strong>D tyres boast a premium tyre casingconstruction that’s ideal for containerhandlingmachines such as straddle carriers.This new casing allows optimum contactpressure on the road while assuring evenwear to maintain uniform traction.GUTTSimulation modelFreeLoadedResistance ofpenetration (Ton)Durable casingSteel-radial tyres are more durablethan bias tyres, and the <strong>VCH</strong>/<strong>VCH</strong>Dcasing is reinforced to servethroughout extra-long tread life.Furthermore, indoor testing confirmedthat the radial tyre is highly resistant totyre punctures.4.03.02.01.0Force needed for object topenetrate the tyreRADIALBIASCUT!CUT!50 100 150Movement of cutter (mm)180100Approximate Inflated DimensionsTyre SizeStarRatingType* Rec.
