17.00-25/1.7 rim for Construction Equipment rim Wheel loader Volvo L90C/D

The 17.00-25/1.73PC rim is a rim designed for medium to heavy off-highway (OTR) equipment, such as some medium-sized wheel loaders, graders, industrial forklifts or small dump trucks. It has the following main features:
1. Strong and durable, suitable for medium-intensity heavy loads:
High-strength material: Like all OTR rims, it is made of high-strength steel to withstand the heavy loads, impacts and rugged road conditions encountered by equipment such as wheel loaders and graders on construction sites, quarries or industrial material handling.
Stronger than one-piece: The three-piece design is inherently stronger than a single-piece rim and more resistant to fatigue and stress concentration, especially under high pressure or heavy load conditions.
2. Convenience of maintenance and repair:
On-site repair advantage: This is the core advantage of multi-piece rims. When the tire needs to be repaired, replaced or repaired, there is no need to remove the entire rim from the equipment. Maintenance personnel can remove the tire by removing the lock ring and side ring, which greatly shortens the downtime of the equipment and improves the utilization rate of the equipment.
Component Replaceability: If a part of the rim, such as the bead or side ring, needs to be replaced due to damage, the part can be replaced separately without replacing the entire rim, thus reducing repair costs.
3. Precise Tire Fit and Performance:
Ensure Bead Seal: Precision machined rim seat and bead groove ensure that the tire bead can be tightly and securely mounted on the rim, forming a good airtight seal. This helps maintain tire pressure, reduce air leaks, thereby extending tire life and ensuring equipment stability and traction in various conditions.
Optimize Tire Life: A stable bead seat can reduce the risk of bead slippage or damage, thereby extending the service life of the tire and reducing long-term operating costs.
4. Features relative to 5PC rims:
Lighter weight: Compared with the heavier five-piece (5PC) rims, three-piece rims are generally simpler in structure and have fewer parts, so they may be lighter. This helps reduce the overall weight of the equipment in some cases and may have a slight impact on fuel efficiency.
The 17.00-25/1.73PC rim is characterized by its sufficient durability while taking into account maintenance convenience and certain cost-effectiveness. It can well support the needs of medium-sized OTR equipment, ensure the safe installation of tires, and help reduce the long-term operating costs of equipment.
