Michelin X One Retread
Michelin Retread Technologies introduced a new addition to its lineup of retread tires, the Michelin X One XZU S Pre-Mold Retread designed for refuse collection and other high-scrub applications.

The X One XZU S retread is now available as a Pre-Mold Retread in a 390/430 tread size. According to Michelin, the retread features long tread life and outstanding scrub resistance with 23/32 in original tread depth of an application-specific compound. The retread uses Michelin Co-EX technology – a two-layer compound designed to minimize casing temperature for longer casing life – and features a wing tread design for added protection on the shoulders.

While the tread design is optimized for all-weather traction, Michelin says, enhanced protection against stone drilling is also provided by variable pitch groove walls and groove bottom protectors in all grooves. When used in urban regional operations, Michelin X One wide single tires, featuring Infini-Coil Technology, provide optimized weight savings and significant fuel savings, the company said.

A/C Parts Organizer
Four Seasons Inc. introduced its Heavy Duty & Off Road Air Conditioning Service Parts Organizer (Part # 24815) that the company says “covers it all for technicians, offering what they need to complete the repair, all in one SKU.”
The portable kit contains 127 different part numbers, including green HNBR O-Rings, sealing washers, orifice tubes, service caps and more. All the pieces are clearly labeled and organized, the company says, so technicians won’t waste their valuable time looking for the right part.
