MICHELIN AND ROPA RECEIVE INNOVATION AWARD AT AGRITECHNICA FOR R-SOIL PROTECT PROJECT
Stoke-on-Trent – November 11, 2015Michelin and agricultural machine manufacturer ROPA have been awarded the silver medal for innovation for their R-Soil Protect project by the organisers of Agritechnica. The collaboration between Michelin and ROPA is a hydraulic three-axle chassis for harvesters which spreads the weight of the load and avoids pressure imbalances between the machine’s axles. Michelin’s new CerexBib IF 1000/55 R32 Cyclic Field Operation (CFO) tyres fitted to the chassis and featuring Ultraflex Technology are designed to work in the field at very low pressures. This
