Mining Quarrying and Ports
Off-the-road radials in E, L and G service designations for loaders, graders, dump trucks and container handling equipment.
What Goes Wrong in This Sector
The tyre price is not the cost
A 24.00R35 cover is expensive. The machine standing idle while it is replaced is far more expensive, which is why service code and haul road condition matter more than unit price.
Sidewall damage in container yards
Container corners and yard debris cut sidewalls. A general earthmover tread is the wrong specification for continuous handling duty.
Service codes mismatched to duty
An L-2 tyre on a machine that needs L-3 wears out early. An E-4 on a machine that only needs E-3 is money spent on depth that never gets used.
What We Do About It
Full TRA service code coverage across E-2, E-3, E-4, L-2, L-3 and G-2
A dedicated container handler fitment, KG558S in 16.00R25 E-4, rather than a general earthmover substitute
