Industrial tires, also known as industrial vehicle tires, are special tires designed specifically for industrial scenarios, suitable for various industrial handling and engineering vehicles. The wear resistance of industrial tires has a direct and critical impact on the overall cost of use:
1. Directly reduce the cost of tire procurement
Tires with stronger wear resistance have a longer actual service life, which can significantly reduce the frequency of tire replacement and avoid the expenditure of repeatedly purchasing new tires in a short period of time. For example, ordinary low wear industrial tires need to be replaced after 2-3 months, while high wear models can be used for more than 6 months, reducing procurement costs by more than 40% in the long run.
2. Reduce downtime and loss of work
Tires with poor wear resistance are prone to abnormal wear and tire blowouts, which can cause temporary shutdowns of work vehicles. The daily downtime losses caused by a sudden failure of a mining industrial tire often far exceed the purchase price of the tire itself. High wear resistant tires can significantly reduce the risk of such sudden shutdowns.
3. Compress supporting operation and maintenance costs
High wear resistant tires reduce the frequency of maintenance operations such as disassembly, dynamic balancing, and repair, and correspondingly lower labor costs and accessory consumables expenses. At the same time, they can avoid damage to vehicle suspension and wheel components caused by tire wear, saving additional maintenance costs.
4. Indirectly reduce energy consumption costs
Tires with excellent wear resistance can maintain a stable low rolling resistance state for a long time, without a sudden increase in rolling resistance due to rapid tread wear. This can keep the vehicle's fuel/electricity consumption within a reasonable range for a long time, and can save a lot of energy expenses in the long run.
