Toyo announces a new size for its M320 wide base super single tire for tough on/off highway use

Toyo announced a new 425/65R22.5 size for its M320 wide-base super single tire. Designed for tough on/off highway use in applications such as dump trucks, concrete mixers and refuse trucks, the M320 is the ideal solution for durability in construction and refuse hauling applications, the company says.

Toyo announced a new 425/65R22.5 size for its M320 wide-base super single tire. Designed for tough on/off highway use in applications such as dump trucks, concrete mixers and refuse trucks, the M320 is the ideal solution for durability in construction and refuse hauling applications, the company says.

The M320 features large tread blocks with functional sipes and three wide zigzag grooves to improve traction both off the road and on the streets. It has a long life, the company says, due to an optimized casing profile that minimizes growth of the tread area while maintaining a more uniform and flatter tread radius during its service life. A cap base tread compound helps to prevent the concentration of stress in a single area, effectively reducing excessive heat build-up during operation. In addition to providing endurance in its design construction, the M320 can be retreaded to provide an economical work solution.

In addition to the new 425/65R22.5 size, the M320 is also available as a wide-base super single in a 385/65R22.5 size. Conventional sizes of the tire include an 11R22.5, 12R22.5, 315/80R22.5 and an 11R24.5 for a variety of fitments that require both traction and durability.

Advantages of Carrier Transicold’s new Vector 8500 single-temperature hybrid trailer refrigeration unit include less weight, better capacity and improved fuel efficiency, according to the company. With the Vector 8500, Carrier is also introducing a fully hermetic electric scroll compressor, used in refrigerated marine container systems, that has 70 percent fewer moving parts and is 200 lbs lighter than a traditional reciprocating compressor. The Carrier Transicold Vector 8500 incorporates the manufacturer’s ecoFORWARD technologies. Compared to the unit it succeeds, the new Vector 8500: • Weighs 210 lbs less, a 10 percent weight savings; • Provides up to 4% higher cooling capacity – 60,000 BTU at 35 degrees F and 24,000 BTU at -20 degrees F; • Consumes up to 26% less fuel over a full range of operating conditions; and • Reduces engine runtime by up to 14%. In start/stop mode, according to Carrier, the greater capacity and higher efficiency also help the Vector 8500 achieve setpoint faster, enabling the engine to shut off sooner, ultimately reducing engine run hours and runtime-based maintenance expenses. The Vector 8500 unit’s engine is certified for the 2013 EPA Tier 4 standard for engines less than 25 HP. For fleets operating in California beyond seven years, the Vector platform’s standard electric standby capability provides an in-use compliance option.
