Industrial tires are an integral part of industrial vehicles and equipment, and they carry out the important tasks of supporting weight, providing traction and cushioning impact. With the growing demand for industrial production, the demand for high-quality, high-performance industrial tires has also increased. This paper will discuss the types of industrial tires, selection criteria and maintenance knowledge.
Types of industrial tires
Solid tires
Solid tires are widely used in heavy industry because of their durability. They have no air chamber and are usually made of high-density rubber or other synthetic materials that can withstand extreme conditions of use and heavy loads.
pneumatic tires
Pneumatic tires have air inside them, providing better comfort and shock absorption than solid tires. These tyres are suitable for less demanding industrial environments and provide better ground grip.
Strap tires
Belted tires use a steel wire or synthetic fiber belting layer, which makes them more wear resistant and can withstand higher loads. Belted tires are often used where high speed and heavy loads are required.
Off-road tires
Off-road tires are designed for use in a variety of ground conditions, including sand, dirt and rock. Their characteristic pattern and depth help maintain a good grip and passability on uneven terrain.
Special tires
Specialty tires are designed to meet the needs of a specific industry or application scenario, such as traceless tires for the food industry or low rolling resistance tires for airport baggage handlers.
Choice of industrial tires
Choosing the right industrial tire needs to consider the following factors:
- The purpose and working environment of the vehicle
- Expected load and pressure
- Wear resistance and durability of tires
- Cost and convenience of maintenance
Maintenance of industrial tires
In order to ensure the performance and life of industrial tires, proper maintenance must be carried out:
- Check tire pressure and wear regularly.
- Ensure that the load on the tire does not exceed its maximum load bearing capacity.
- Properly store tires to avoid exposure to high temperatures and harmful chemicals.
- For damaged tires, repair with appropriate repair methods and materials.
Conclusion
Industrial tyres play a key role in ensuring production efficiency and safety. By understanding different types of industrial tires, reasonable selection of suitable tires, and the implementation of effective maintenance measures, you can maximize the life of tires, reduce the failure rate, so as to ensure the smooth progress of industrial operations.
