Tractors and agricultural vehicles: CLAAS acquires tire pressure control technology

CLAAS invests in tire pressure control technology

CLAAS is taking over the tire pressure control technology of R&M Landtechniksysteme.

The systems of the tire pressure specialist from the Möhne Lake area in North Rhine-Westphalia will now be supported and further developed in Paderborn by CLAAS Industrietechnik. The details of the contract were agreed tacitly.

Practice-oriented solutions
CLAAS Industrietechnik thus becomes a specialist in practice-oriented tire pressure control systems. With R&M's technology, complete solutions for equipping tractors, trailers and other agricultural vehicles complete the product range.

The package includes control and regulation technology as well as rotary unions and compressor units with very high air flow. This makes it possible to change the pressure of the tractor and trailer quickly between road and field.

The systems are therefore ideally suited to all applications where frequent changes in tire pressure are necessary for silage or manure transport.

Pressure measurement and control are carried out separately for each tire. Since the complete valve technology is integrated into the tractor, it can be used for several mounted implements.

Innovative control concept
Control is via an innovative app. The driver can save different profiles for several combinations of tractor and mounted implement. The target pressures for field and road only need to be entered once and remain stored.

Pressure measurement per wheel allows precise adjustment of tire pressure, for example on one side only when driving across a slope.

Complete offering for soil protection
?R&M's excellent solutions complement our product offering in an optimal way. In addition to the TERRA TRAC crawler track system, we now also offer professional soil protection technology for wheeled machines,? says Thomas Lorf, Managing Director of CLAAS Industrietechnik GmbH.

Tire pressure control technology is available now as an additional retrofit solution.
