Bridgestone launches Vortech rubber tracks for compact track loaders

Bridgestone debuted its new Vortech line of rubber tracks at the 2017 CONEXPO-CON/AGG Conference. Designed specifically for compact track loaders, Vortech rubber tracks feature a responsive track design and powerful H-shape tread pattern to deliver both workability and a smooth driving experience. 

The Bridgestone Vortech line was designed as a result of the company’s continued focus on knowing the customer best and recognizing pressing customer needs. The all-new Vortech rubber tracks system from Bridgestone reflects customer desire for improved driver efficiency and workability in compact tracked loader applications. By optimizing the internal structure and tread pattern, Vortech lowers the bending resistance that occurs when rubber tracks rotate, enabling more fluid vehicle movement. As a result of this unique design, Bridgestone Vortech rubber tracks reduce engine power loss during vehicle driving by 26 percent, contributing to improved driving efficiency and subsequently more fluid vehicle movement.

Vortech rubber tracks from Bridgestone also employ a new H-shaped tread pattern to expand the edge portion of the tracks, which grips the ground, and provides higher levels of traction for powerful performance. Vortech tracks help improve driving performance in compact track loaders in a variety of environments ranging from gravel to sediment, and other ground types.

Bridgestone designed Vortech rubber tracks with a unique tread pattern and tread positioning to achieve smoother driving, which helps reduce operator fatigue resulting from vehicle vibration.

Bridgestone Vortech rubber tracks will be available in 450 mm-wide sizes.
