Exceptional flotation capacity,
minimal soil damage, optimum grip
on the tires and better tire support.
This, along with the sustainability
of the crossmember which has

are the major benefits of CoverX

capacity. CoverX makes your work
easier while also protecting the
environment in a much better way
than before”, says Daniel Domeij.
The development has been
going on for a year and CoverX
will be presented at Interfors in
Münich, in July. Daniel Domeij has
great expectations of the reception.
