MINING TYRES
even under the most critical operating
conditions.”
In the size 27.00R49, Earthmax SR46 is
available with a special either cut resistant or
heat resistant compound. “It is the best choice
for transporting heavy loads in full safety. This
tyre has been specifically developed for rigid
dumpers operating under complex and hostile
conditions as found in aggressive and rocky
mining environments. The risk of punctures, cuts
and chips is minimised by the all steel casing
ensuring an extended product life-cycle, and
optimising productivity. The tyre has a special
tread design shaped by lug blocks and
circumferential grooves leading to excellent
cornering abilities in addition to reduced outer
damages.”
Its companion is the Earthmax SR45, available
in size 18.00R33 in either a specifically cut or
heat resistant version, which is a special tyre for
rigid dumpers operating in open-cast mines. The
special compound used “provides extraordinary
resistance against cuts, wear and other impacts.”
The third in the trio is Earthmax SR53, a
specific tyre for loaders and dozers operating in
underground mines with extremely tough terrain
due to rocks and debris present. The L-5-class
extra deep tread significantly reduces wear
showing at the same time top self-cleaning
features by favoring the ejection of stones and
foreign matters. Also noteworthy is the special
cut-resistant compound that prevents
overheating and provides a long and
extraordinarily productive tire life-cycle.
Among the sizes available, there is also a
Giant version 35/65R33 made of a cut
resistant compound.
Titan expands ACT wheel range
Titan International recently introduced
three new sizes to the Titan Accelerated
Change Technology (ACT) wheel line, a
wheel technology proved to reduce
downtime associated with tire changes
and rotations by up to 50%.
The ACT wheel is now available in 33-,
35-, and 49 in wheels, featuring single-
piece lock rings in addition to the 51-, 57-
and 63 in sizes. Designed to fit nearly any
rigid framed dump truck, the ACT wheel is
compatible with any brand of off-the-road
tyres, including Titan tyres.
The ACT wheel eliminates the need for the
outside wheel to be removed when changing the
inner tyre. All the bolts stay on and there’s no
need to torque the wheel — whereas the
standard wheel requires removing both the inner
and outer wheels and re-torqueing.
Titan also recently conducted a test that put
the Titan ACT wheel head-to-head against a
standard wheel on a rigid dump truck in an
Alabama mine. The test demonstrated that a Cat

777G needing four inner dual rotations or
replacements per year, saving 1 hour and 10
minutes per inner dual, and running
approximately 1.5 additional cycles per every 1
hour, 10 minutes could equate to more than
$80,000 in additional coal production per year,
per truck.
