Equipment used in mining operations such as mining cars, mining haul trucks and loaders use various types of mining wheels, tracks and tyres to navigate through the rugged and uneven terrains of mine sites.
The wheels and tyres used in the mining sector need to meet several requirements, including long life, high-speed operation, resistance to punctures, and reduced maintenance.

Wheels and tyres used for mining and industrial vehicles
OTR tyres are the most commonly used types of tyres in the mining industry for dump trucks, loaders, mining haul trucks and other industrial mining vehicles that often operate on uneven surfaces and deep areas of underground mines.
Casing, tread design, material used, and abrasion resistance are some of the factors that need to be considered while choosing wheels and tyres used for mining and industrial vehicles.
Investing in TPMS and tyre pressure sensors is also essential to ensure longevity, decrease downtime and increase the performance of the tyres as they need to withstand heavy loads and friction.
Rubber tracks for mining vehicles
Vehicles fitted with rubber tracks are ideal for mine sites compared to vehicles fitted with tyres or steel tracks as they provide more stability and ease of operation. Tracked vehicles also produce less vibration and do not damage the ground as they move.
Rubber tracks improve operational capabilities over dilapidated terrains such as muddy surfaces without getting stuck. They are also easy to install, reduce downtime and enhance operator comfort.
