Serving a Growth Industry

iLevel by Weyerhaeuser: renewable construction materials.

The American firm iLevel is a subsidiary of Weyerhaeuser, one of the largest forestry products companies in the world. Out of around 14 million hectares of timberland managed by Weyerhaeuser, about 2.4 million are owned by the group in the USA alone.

iLevel sells wood products from Weyerhaeuser for building houses. Wooden roof and wall structures are just as much part of the firm‘s portfolio as the floors and wooden construction materials for both interior and exterior use.

A total of 23 forklifts operate in Weyerhaeuser‘s largest distribution warehouse. The vehicles work under the toughest conditions to ensure that the incoming and outgoing wood products can be loaded and unloaded at the right time. Their annual operating time is around 2,400 hours.

Six of the forklifts were fitted with the ContiRT20 Performance in size 8.25R15. Roy Blanco, Site Operations Manager at iLevel, was delighted.

“With the tires we tested, over the period of one year, we did not have a single breakdown-related stoppage. The ContiRT20 comes out tops with its high performance, top quality and excellent workmanship. I can definitely recommend it.“

Despite the split asphalt and the long distances to cover, Blanco sees the ContiRT20 tires lasting for at least two years. This is an age that no other tire he has used before has ever achieved.

Blanco also said he recommends Continental Industrial Tires for the service our representatives provide.

“The ContiRT20 is an extraordinarily good tire for our requirements. Just like the service from Conti. You notice they understand something about customer satisfaction."
