Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta Truck T - Controlled trailer handling in winter conditions

FOR DEMANDING WINTER CONDITIONS

Mr. Jukka Perämäki is driving timber from Finnish logging sites with a transport trailer. The logging sites are usually situated in a demanding rural environment where the roads are hardly maintained at all. It’s important for him that the job still gets done – on time.

“The most important feature for a timber transport trailer tire is lateral traction, when driving on difficult and narrow roads”, Mr. Perämäki tells. “The traction is also important when loading, to prevent the trailer from moving sideways, and naturally during braking.”

“Get the load moving on time, exactly as planned!”

Other features Perämäki appreciates in the Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta Truck T tire are the durability of the tread and year-round usability. “With the Hakkapeliitta Truck T tire my confidence on the handling has increased notably”, Mr. Perämäki tells. “I can now easily drive to places that I could not reach before with a straight-patterned tire.”

What’s more, Mr. Perämäki has noticed that the timber trailer follows nicely on the trail left by chained tires. This brings more flexibility and makes his work easier. “As the trailer won’t move sideways, the loading can be done even on a sloping surface”, Mr. Perämäki adds. “I recommend this tire to anyone who drives daily in demanding environments”.
