Solutions that exceed expectations
MAXAM Tire will be showcasing its advancement and growth in the off-the-road ( OTR ) tyre industry , as well as what differentiates the company from its competitors , at the Las Vegas event .
The company will be displaying its flagship OTR tyres , including the MS405 E4 / L4 Dumpxtra and MS302 E3 / L3 – both OEM approved by Caterpillar – along with other products that provide a comprehensive solution to maximise performance at aggregate and construction operations globally , it says .
In addition , to highlight its full range of specialty solutions , MAXAM will display several support equipment tyres that have a role in the success and productivity of aggregate and OTR operations . One of these is the MS401 , a small mining solution with deep grooved tread design , which , the company says , provides excellent traction in rigid dump truck applications . “ This is ideal for applications requiring maximum road grip and high site tonne kilometres per hour ( TKPH ),” MAXAM said .
For the demanding L5 applications , the MS503 encompasses an extra-deep , open lug L5T traction pattern that combines excellent traction and high resistance to wear and cutting , the company says . The MS503 , to be shown at the event , is specifically designed to maximise service life in the harshest applications .
For construction applications , the MS915 – a recently launched grader / telehandler solution – and the MS705 – a premium three-stage solid tyre with 100 % rubber construction – will also be available to see .
The company concluded : “ With the objective to provide customers with products that increase their productivity and to focus on providing the
best customer experience , MAXAM is not just a tyre company but a true business solutions provider .”

“ Our coupler is a top choice for construction professionals ,” Weir ESCO said . “ Precision manufactured to exacting standards ; our coupler is engineered to reduce stress points for improved machine performance . The PosiGrab coupler will pick up attachments within the same machine weight class for increased machine versatility .”
An ESCO SXDP excavator rock bucket with Ultralok ® U60 tooth system with adapter wear caps will also be on display , highlighting a full line of excavator attachments developed to , the company says , meet the demanding needs of contractors , rental customers and quarry operators – especially in the toughest applications . This bucket offering includes standard-duty ditch and clean-out buckets to heavy-duty options for extreme-duty buckets with full wear protection for severe abrasion and impact conditions . All tooth-style buckets come standard with ESCO ’ s Ultralok construction tooth system . The cost-efficient , low profile Ultralok system – for 6-75-t-class excavators and 1.4-9.2- cu . m-class wheel loaders – performs in a full range of applications , according to the company .
An ESCO HD wheel loader bucket with Nemisys ® N65 tooth system to fit a 992K loader will also be part of the company ’ s CONEXPO experience . Engineered to deliver payloads meeting site production requirements , these buckets are available in extra heavy-duty ( XHD ), heavy-duty ( HD ) and general purpose ( GP ) duty classes . Attachment lugs wrap under the bucket to spread stress loads evenly , while single-beam HD or triple-formed XHD beams are engineered to meet application demands .
Motion Metrics , which joined Weir ESCO last year , will also have products , including LoaderMetrics™ , PortaMetrics™ , BeltMetrics™ and TruckMetrics™ , on show at CONEXPO . These solutions work together to create a detailed view of mine / quarry productivity and efficiency , while increasing safety and decreasing operational downtime associated with crusher jams and equipment maintenance .
“ Detailed , on-demand reports at every stage of production bring critical data to life ,” the company says of this range . “ LoaderMetrics missing tooth detection system for loaders alerts operators to missing teeth before they travel downstream and obstruct crushers , while the handheld PortaMetrics device can improve the safety and accuracy of your blast assessment by providing AI-enabled particle size analysis at your fingertips .”
Weir Minerals will feature Trio ® crushers , Enduron ® high pressure grinding rolls ( HPGRs ) and Weir Sandmaster™ sand wash plants at the Las Vegas event .
The company offers an extensive range of Trio crushing equipment , able to operate in some of the most challenging environments .
