The tires of mining transport trucks, especially mining dump trucks, are very special in design. The main purpose is to cope with the complex terrain, heavy-load transportation and extreme working conditions in mining areas. The tires of mining transport trucks usually need to have higher load capacity, stronger wear resistance and impact resistance, and adapt to different road conditions and working environments.
Common types of tires for mining transport trucks are:
1. Extra-high load tires (OTR tires): OTR tires (Off-the-Road Tire) are the most common tire type for mining transport trucks. They are designed for use in complex environments such as mining areas, construction sites, and oil platforms.
OTR tires can withstand extremely high loads and are suitable for super-large mining dump trucks. Its main characteristics are high load-bearing, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and strong impact resistance.
2. Larger mining tires. The tire size of mining transport trucks is usually very large. Common sizes are:
35/65R33: This is a large-size tire commonly found in mining transport trucks, often used in some large mining trucks.
53/80R63: This size tire is commonly found on large dump trucks and is used in extreme mining transportation environments.
60/80R63, 50/80R57: Suitable for larger mining trucks and higher load mining transportation needs.
3. Wire braided tires, which use a wire braid layer to enhance the strength and puncture resistance of the tire, are very suitable for mining transportation trucks that require high durability.
The structure of the wire tire can withstand the harsh conditions in the mining working environment, such as the huge impact of rocks, hard soil, etc. on the tire.
4. Single or multi-layer steel belt tires
Depending on the design of the tire, some mining transport tires use a single layer of steel belts, while some heavier tires use a multi-layer steel belt reinforcement structure. These tires not only enhance the load-bearing capacity, but also improve the resistance to breakage and puncture.
5. Pneumatic tires vs. solid tires
Pneumatic tires: Most mining transport trucks use pneumatic tires. The advantages of pneumatic tires are light weight, high friction, strong adaptability, and the ability to provide good traction on different ground surfaces.
Solid tires: For some special environments or operating scenarios (such as extremely harsh mining environments or high temperature and high pressure environments), some mining transport vehicles may choose solid tires. Although they are less comfortable, they provide stronger load-bearing capacity and damage resistance.
Common tire brands for mining transport trucks include Michelin, Pirelli, Goodyear, and Continental.

The 24.00-25/3.0 rims we provide for the CAT 730 mining articulated dump truck have greatly improved the working efficiency of the vehicle during use and have been unanimously recognized by customers.
The Cat 730 is a model of articulated dump truck (ADT) used primarily in construction, mining and large earthmoving projects. It is known for its durability, high productivity and versatility in handling a variety of heavy-duty applications.
It is used in a variety of scenarios. In mining, it is used to transport materials such as rocks, gravel and debris from the surface of the mine to the stockpile or processing plant.
In construction, it is very suitable for transporting large amounts of soil, sand and aggregates in large projects such as road construction, earthworks or dam construction. It is also suitable for transporting crushed stone or other heavy materials in quarries.
Because its usage scenarios are relatively complex terrain, heavy-load transportation of vehicles and extreme working conditions, it is necessary to match the rims with high load capacity, durability and adaptability to a variety of environments. The 24.00-25/3.0 rims developed and produced by our company meet such requirements.
The 24.00-25/3.0 rim is a rim size used for mining transport trucks, articulated dump trucks, heavy machinery and other equipment.
24.00 refers to the width of the rim, that is, the inner width of the rim. It means that the width of the rim is 24 inches. Usually this width is selected according to the width of the tire to ensure that the tire can be safely mounted on the rim and maintain a proper contact surface.
25 refers to the diameter of the rim, which is the outer diameter of the rim. A 25-inch diameter is suitable for large mining vehicles or transport equipment. The diameter of the rim needs to match the inner diameter of the tire to ensure that the tire can be properly mounted on the rim.
3.0 is the width or offset design of the rim, which is usually related to the depth or distribution of the rim. It helps determine the shape of the rim and compatibility with the tire. Different widths or offset designs help improve the load capacity and stability of the rim.
24.00-25/3.0 rims have a wider design and high load capacity. They can be used with large-sized, high-load-carrying mining tires for heavy-duty working conditions.
Because they are used in mining areas and construction sites, this type of rim is usually made of high-strength steel with strong impact resistance and wear resistance. In view of the harsh environment of mining areas, the rims generally use special anti-corrosion coatings to extend their service life.
This specification of rims is suitable for rough and uneven ground, and is commonly found in mines, quarries and other extreme working environments.
In general, the 24.00-25/3.0 rim is a rim specification designed for large mining trucks and dump trucks, suitable for high loads and extreme working environments. It has the characteristics of strong load-bearing capacity, high durability, and adaptability to harsh working conditions. It is widely used in mining transportation, heavy machinery and other operations that require large-size tires.
What are the characteristics of mining transport truck rims?
The rims of mining transport trucks are key components that support the tires and connect to the vehicle chassis. Its design and performance directly affect the vehicle's load-bearing capacity, safety and durability. The rims of mining transport trucks usually have some unique features to cope with the extreme working environment and high load requirements in mining operations.
The main features of mining transport truck rims:
1. High load-bearing capacity, mining transport trucks need to carry extremely heavy loads, especially in mines or quarries. The total weight of these trucks can reach hundreds of tons, so the rims must be able to withstand extremely high loads. The material and structure of the rims are specially designed to ensure that they can remain stable under high loads. Most mining rims are made of high-strength steel because steel has good strength, durability and deformation resistance.
2. Use special coatings for corrosion resistance. The environment in mining areas is usually highly corrosive, especially when working in the open air, the rims may be exposed to moisture, chemicals, mine dust and dirt. Therefore, the rims of mining transport trucks usually use anti-corrosion coatings or special surface treatment processes (such as hot-dip galvanizing, spraying, etc.) to increase their corrosion resistance and extend their service life.
3. Anti-vibration and impact design. The roads in mining areas are rugged and often have large shocks and vibrations. Mining rims are usually reinforced to counteract road unevenness, load shocks and sudden vibrations. This is crucial to reduce rim deformation, damage and cracks. In some designs, some parts of the rim may be thickened to enhance its impact absorption capacity.
4. Matching large mining tires. The rim size of mining transport trucks is usually very large, matching large OTR tires. The diameter and width of the rim are precisely designed according to the needs of the truck type and tire specifications. Common mining rim sizes include 25 inches, 33 inches, 63 inches, etc. The size of the rim must be able to adapt to the corresponding mining tires to ensure assembly accuracy and working stability.
5. High temperature resistant design. In mining operations, the rims must not only withstand high loads, but also need to cope with the high temperatures generated during long-term work. Especially during heavy-load transportation, the surface of the rim may be overheated, so it needs to have certain high temperature resistance. Many mining rims use heat-resistant materials or special cooling designs to prevent overheating.
6. Strong rim connection and fixing methods. The rims of mining transport trucks are usually connected to the wheels and the body through high-strength bolts, nuts and support systems. Most mining rims use double nut fixing or extended bolt systems to ensure the stability and safety of the connection. In addition, some mining rims use locking nuts or hydraulic locking systems to ensure stability and safety in long-term use.
7. Anti-slip design. The rims of mining transport trucks need to ensure that the tires do not slip during operation, especially under extreme working conditions. Therefore, special anti-skid grooves or other designs are usually set on the rims to ensure close connection between the tire and the rim to prevent tire slippage caused by excessive load or high-speed driving.
8. Convenient replacement and maintenance. The rim design of mining transport trucks usually has a modular structure, which is convenient for quick replacement and maintenance. Since the working environment in the mining area is very harsh and the vehicle is prone to failure, the design of the rim needs to facilitate maintenance personnel to quickly check, repair or replace the rim to reduce downtime caused by damage.
9. Large diameter and thick wall design. The rims of mining transport trucks generally adopt thick wall design to provide stronger support capacity and durability. Mining rims often have larger diameters and thicknesses to meet the installation requirements of oversized tires and can provide sufficient strength under heavy loads and extreme environments.
10. Widened design. For some heavy mining transport trucks, the rim design is usually wider to ensure that it can support larger tires and higher loads. Wide rims can provide better load-bearing capacity and stability, ensuring the balance and safety of vehicles when running on rugged roads.
The rims of mining transport trucks need to withstand extremely high loads, harsh working environments, and long-term friction and impact, so their design is very critical. Usually, they are made of high-strength steel, with corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, impact resistance and other characteristics, and are closely matched with mining tires to ensure the stability and safety of vehicles under extreme conditions.
