Mining Tyres

With so many different OTR tyres are you 100% sure your mining vehicles have the right tyres for the job?

Off The Road or OTR tyres are generally used for large mining vehicles and other industrial machines working in construction and mining. When you are working in such harsh and dangerous environments with large machinery it is so important to have the correct tyres for the specific machine, the environment it’s working in and the application it’s being used for.

How do I know which tyres will be right for my OTR vehicles?
OTR tyres are used on a variety of different vehicles from loaders, backhoes, dump trucks and large haul trucks. It’s not as easy as one tyre for one vehicle. Before we can find the right tyre for your vehicles we need to know:
Application of your vehicle
Terrain and working environment of the vehicle
Average speed of vehicle
Average distance travelled

The difference between Radial and Bias OTR tyres…
There at two main types of tyres that are used for OTR vehicles, Radian and Bias tyres.
Typically a Bias tyre has a better repairability, cut resistance on the sidewall, makes the vehicle more stable and Bias tyres are recyclable. A Radial tyre will give more traction, is heat resistant, floats and generally is more economical. But which type of tyre will suit your vehicle best really depends on the type of OTR vehicle, the application and working environment.
