Read moreTo determine how much load (tonnes) a loader can transport per hour, we can calculate the so-called WCF: Work Capability Factor.
Read moreManufacturers of OTR tyres use various types of rubber compounds. This means tyres can be used very efficiently for each specific purpose. Each type of compound has its own specifications when it comes...
Read moreThe life span of an OTR tyre can mainly be maximised by selecting the right tyre pressure. After all, it’s the air in the tyres that carries the weight of the vehicle and the load it may be carrying. ...
Read moreTyres used for high-speed cranes feature a DOT number. In many other OTR tyres, the DOT number is incorporated into the tyre's serial number and the marking differs per brand.
Read moreBearing capacity is normally expressed by the Load Index (LI) on radial tyres or by the PLY rating (PR) on diagonal tyres. Speed and bearing capacity are often also linked; this is referred to as the L...
Read moreA tyre that features the marking 16.00R25 is exactly the same as a tyre that features the marking 445/95R25. They are the same size, but the size has been expressed differently. For example, the width ...
Read more'Radial tyres' and 'diagonal tyres' are 2 terms that also apply to earth-moving tyres. The two tyre types are distinguished via their respective structures.
Read moreWe have an exclusive partnership with Barkley, which means you can always count on the best possible service. For example, you can have your OTR tyres mounted on rims, so they are immediately ready to ...
Read moreMany OTR tyres are not only used off-road. In many situations, vehicles also drive on hardened surfaces or public roads at above average speeds. In such cases, it is important to pay attention to the t...
Read moreOTR tyres are available in many types because they are used for such a wide range of activities. If we look at pattern depths, we encounter four different types, namely E2/L2/G2, E3/L3/G3, E4/L4, L5.
Read moreBesides moving earth, sand and rock, machines that are part of the OTR or EM (Earthmover) category can also be used for many other possibilities. We are pleased to give you an overview of these machine...
Read moreMachines in the OTR or EM (Earthmover) categories have a unique code for their tyres. We are pleased to give you an overview, so you know which OTR tyres you should be using on specific machines.
Read moreMany details can be literally read from the tyre itself. For instance, the brand and size, but also specific technical information like the Load and Speed Index.
Read moreIn general, a wide range of tyre markings are encountered on tyres. One of these markings is the height/width ratio, which is always found on the side of the tyre. How is it calculated?
Read moreThese vehicles have been designed for a single purpose - to transport heavy loads. This involves collecting the load at one site and then transporting it to another location, where it is unloaded. Depe...
Read moreThe internationally standardised TRA code can be used to select appropriate OTR tyres for all machines. This immediately tells you for which type of machine and purpose tyres can be used.
Read moreIn principle, all earth-moving and industrial machines have been designed for a specific use. However, some machines can be implemented for a variety of purposes. Each type of machine is accompanied by...
Read moreTo a certain extent, self-loading earth-moving machines are subject to the same conditions as rigid or articulated dumpers. Once again, loads are collected at one location and then transported to anoth...
Read moreIn most cases, loaders are deployed on rough terrain and surfaces featuring rubble and waste materials. That is why tyres must feature properties that protect them against incisions and damage.
Read moreThe powerhouses of the tyre world - agricultural and earth-moving tyres - are pushed to their limits on a daily basis. In the same way as other tyres, unnecessary damage to these tyres can be prevented...
