What is the Relationship Between the Model and Load-bearing Capacity of Industrial Tires?
07.12.2024

There is a close relationship between the model and load-bearing capacity of industrial tires, which is specifically reflected in the following aspects:

1. Tire specifications and load-bearing capacity:

The specifications of industrial tires are often represented by a set of numbers, the first number represents the tire section width, and the second number usually represents the rim diameter (in inches). The tire section width directly affects its contact area with the ground, which in turn affects the tire's load-bearing capacity. Generally speaking, the larger the tire section width, the larger the contact area with the ground, and the load-bearing capacity is also increased accordingly.

2. Load index and load-bearing capacity:

In addition to the specification number, there is often a number or letter representing the load index in the tire model. This load index is usually in pounds or kilograms, indicating the maximum static load that the tire can withstand. The higher the load index, the greater the tire's load-bearing capacity.

3. Model selection and load-bearing capacity matching:

When choosing an industrial tire, it is necessary to choose a suitable tire model based on factors such as the vehicle's load condition, working environment, and usage requirements. If the selected tire has too low load capacity, it may cause premature wear, deformation or even rupture of the tire, affecting the normal use and safety of the vehicle. On the contrary, if the selected tire has too high load capacity, although it can meet the load requirements, it may increase unnecessary costs.

4. Other performance and load capacity:

In addition to load capacity, the tire model is also related to other performance parameters, such as speed level, wear resistance, cut resistance, etc. These performance parameters will also indirectly affect the tire's load capacity. For example, a tire with a higher speed level may have better wear resistance and cut resistance, thereby improving the tire's load capacity to a certain extent.
