Quarry.

In quarries, abrasive surfaces and sharp edged stones are a great hazard for tyres.

Quartz, silica, dolomite, basalt, granite are just some of the causes of excessive tyre wear. Flint, slate and shale-like rocks, or demolition debris can cause punctures and deep sidewall cuts.
One-minute your loader crowds into the rock fall, the next moment it is slumped, immobile and you are on the phone looking for a temporary fix or a replacement tyre. If yours is a small operation, this could put your entire production on costly standby. In these instances, in the cause of operating efficiency, a tyre protection chain, such as ERLAU’s RING-LINK or RING-RING system, is required to create a barrier between your tyres and the ground. The density of the mesh will depend on the exact nature of the work site but it should be self-cleaning and the links specially hardened to resist wear at the points where they interact with the connecting rings. ERLAU has the world‘s widest product range and can supply the ideal tyre protection chain for all types of machine and applications.
