Heavy Equipment Tires

Types of Heavy Equipment Tires

Heavy equipment tires or better known as loader tires are tires specially designed to withstand heavy loads in different working conditions. These tires are designed to help the process work on rough terrain and perform a variety of heavy tasks. These tires are usually installed on vehicles used for infrastructure construction, landfills, public works and mining.

1. Bias-Ply Ban Tires

Tires Bias-Ply heavy equipment tires have a cross-ply construction made of heavy rubber. Layer construction is done by making a criss-cross pattern from one side of the tire to the other. The tread is then placed on this pattern. The ply construction allows the tires to be more flexible and provides a smoother and smoother ride experience.

2. Bias Belted Tires

This type of heavy equipment tire is made with the same construction as Bias-Ply tires. But there is a steel belt placed under the cross pattern. The steel belts are placed at different angles so as to improve the overall performance of the tires. This type of heavy equipment tire is very effective for use on vehicles or heavy equipment that work at high speeds to reduce rolling resistance.

3. Radial Tires

Radial tires are made with heavy steel cables which involve a more complex construction process. There are beads that run across the tread at right angles to the center line of the tire tread. The ropes are then attached parallel to each other. The tires of this machine also have a stabilizer belt placed at the bottom of the tread. Its existence makes tire strength and tire life increase. Despite having a number of advantages, this tire turns out to make the vehicle or heavy equipment that uses it cannot run as smoothly as the other two loader tires.
