Alpha Mining Systems – a Unique Solution for Underground Mining Tyres Alpha Mining Systems’ tyre and wheel combinations are tailored for the unique demands of underground machines and have become a proven solution for Southern Africa’s coal mines. Alpha tyres feature a robust construction that delivers high load-bearing capability, even as a small tyre that meets OEM requirements for underground machines. A standard 12.00-20 mining tyre has a 28-ply rating and a max load capacity of 9,000 kilograms. An Alpha tyre of the same size has a 42-ply rating and a max load capacity of 16,000 kg—nearly double the standard tyre. In todays market, there is no other tyre of equivalent size and dimensions that has been certified to safely carry the loads that the Alpha product is capable of. Purpose-built for the application, Alpha tyres reduce the need for wheel changes by up to 75 per cent and they can last up to four times as long as competing products—bringing customers significant savings and tyre life while minimising risk. 12 Kal Tire is the exclusive South African supplier of Alpha Mining Systems, a company that specialises in tyre and wheel systems for underground equipment.
