Six months after the opening of the production at the Hardenberg factory in the Netherlands, Magna Tyres Group has completed the first expansion of almost doubling the production capacity. New capacity was added to keep up with the fast growing demand for the popular 26.5R25 and 29.5R25 OTR sizes.

The 29.5R25 Magna MA02 is an E3+ / L3+ tyre and is designed for wheel loaders, dumpers, scrapers and bulldozers. The wide shoulders increase the contact surface for more traction. The rubber compound, which is used for all OTR tyres from Magna, offers the best result against chip and chunk and tread wear, according to the company. The reinforced shoulder and sidewall protection offers good resistance against impacts. The carcass is all steel radial and the advanced construction with improved belt layers contribute to improved comfort and heat build-up resistance, thus longer service life.

The 26.5R25 Magna M-Terrain is an E4 tyre with a deep and robust profile, designed for heavy dumper applications in day mines, excavations, scrap processing sites and for transports in underground mines. The same wide shoulder area that is so characteristic of the MA02 is also found in the M-Terrain and guarantees perfect grip in challenging off-road conditions.
