Mining Tire Life: 7 Best Ways to Extend Hours on Site
Mining tire life: 7 best ways to extend hours, from pressure checks and road care to repairs and retreading, for mines worldwide.
Improving mining tire life is one of the quickest ways to lower operating cost. Tires are often among the top three costs on a mine site.
1. Daily Pressure Checks
Correct pressure prevents heat build-up and casing damage.
2. Good Haul Roads
Smooth, well-drained roads with gentle curves cut tire wear sharply.
3. Clean Loading Areas
Spillage at the face and dump causes many cuts.
4. Right Tire, Right Job
Match the tread and compound to the site TKPH and ground.
5. Repair Early
Small cuts repaired early stop water and stones reaching the steel.
6. Retread Good Casings
Radial casings in good condition can be retreaded for extra hours.
7. Keep Records
Log hours and removal reasons for every tire.
