Maintaining traction in the harshest conditions

Written by Christian Gabrielsen | June 2023

The defense industry comes with some of the most extreme challenges. As a experienced supplier of rubber-based protection systems, we are required to ensure our current and future products are certified to the highest standards and meeting performance expectations. 

We have been working closely with Hägglunds for many years to develop the best solution for tracks that started in 1976 with the BV-202 and then progressed years later to their iconic BV-206 all-terrain vehicle. The BV-206 track is widely used in industries such as defense, mining, forestry, and emergency services, and its unique design requires specialized tracks to navigate challenging terrain.

We partnered with Hägglunds to develop tracks that provide the best combination of price and performance. The tracks are made from high-quality materials, designed to withstand extreme temperatures, and provide excellent traction in all types of terrain, including snow, ice, and mud.

One of the key advantages of our tracks is their durability. The tracks are designed to last longer than traditional rubber tracks, reducing the need for frequent replacements and lowering maintenance cost. Additionally, the tracks are resistant to cuts and abrasions, making them ideal for use in harsh environments. They are designed to provide excellent traction and stability, which is essential when navigating steep inclines or rough terrain. The unique design allows them to distribute weight evenly across the surface, providing maximum grip and reducing the risk of slippage.

In addition to the performance benefits, we use a manufacturing process that minimizes waste and reduces the carbon footprint during production, contributing to sustainably responsible choices. We have supplied BV-206 tracks globally across Scandinavia, UK, Europe, South America, Asia and Australia.

Our tracks for the Hägglunds BV-206 are a reliable and cost-effective solution for companies operating in challenging environments. With their durability, excellent traction, and environmentally friendly design, they provide a superior option compared to traditional rubber tracks. Our commitment to quality and performance has made us a trusted partner to Hägglunds and a leader in the all-terrain vehicle industry.
