Landoll Forms Partnership With CMA

China Manufacturers Alliance (CMA) has gained an original equipment position with Landoll Corporation, Marysville, KS, to supply all Landoll trailer models with Double Coin medium truck radials.

“Landoll began using Double Coin’s 10R17.5 tire and within a short period of time we knew the overall quality was better than what we had with our other suppliers,” said Jim Ladner, sales manager for Landoll’s Transportation Products Division. “I’ve talked to many customers and they’ve reported improved performance and less downtime from Double Coin tires, so we wanted to carry that quality all the way to our customers.”

Ladner explained that Landoll customers have been using more of the 255/70R22.5 tires on their removable gooseneck trailers. The 10R17.5 tires have recently been replaced with the 235/75R17.5 tires for higher capacity. The higher capacity allows Landoll to offer a gross axle weight rating of 21,420 pounds for their heavy haul customers operating permit loads over 80,000 pounds.

“We are very proud to be the standard tire on the complete line of Landoll trailers,” said Walt Weller, vice president of CMA. “The demands placed on the tires with this type of equipment are substantial and we are gratified that Landoll and their customers recognize the quality and value that Double Coin tires represent.”

Landoll has been a member of this Association since 1972. For more information about this company, please go to landoll.com. ◆
