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 Titan International recently introduced three new sizes to the Titan Accelerated Change Technology (ACT) wheel line 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.
