What is the main function of a dump truck?
The main function of dump trucks is to efficiently transport and automatically unload bulk materials. They are widely used in construction, mining, infrastructure and other engineering scenarios. Their core functions and roles include:
1. Rapid transportation of bulk materials
Dump trucks are mainly used to transport the following materials over short or medium distances:
Earthwork, sand, gravel, coal, ore;
Construction waste, cement, concrete, etc.
2. Automatically uninstall to improve efficiency
Equipped with a hydraulic lifting device, the cargo box can automatically tilt backward or sideways to unload;
It saves manpower and time, and is particularly suitable for high-frequency unloading occasions (such as mining, tunnel engineering, earthwork, etc.).
3. Strong passing ability
Most are designed for high horsepower and high ground clearance;
It can adapt to adverse road conditions such as mud, gravel, and ramps, and is particularly suitable for operations on unpaved roads and mining areas.
4. Diversified Uses
Different types of dump trucks can adapt to different working environments:
Urban construction sites: small dump trucks are maneuverable and flexible;
Open-pit mines: large rigid or articulated dump trucks with large load capacities;
Infrastructure construction: Medium-sized dump trucks are widely used in road and bridge construction.
There are many common dump truck types and brands, which can be divided into:
1. Ordinary dump truck (road type)
Used for urban and rural road transportation, such as sand, coal, construction waste, etc.
2. Heavy Dump Truck
Specially used in open-pit mines, it has a large body, heavy load capacity and strong structural rigidity.
3. Articulated Dump Truck
It is suitable for complex terrains, such as slippery mud, rugged mining areas, etc., and has flexible turning capabilities.
When performing heavy-load transportation and unloading tasks, dump trucks rely on multiple key parts to work together to ensure performance, safety and efficiency. Among the driving parts, tire rims are very important, directly affecting the load-bearing capacity, grip and passability.

Among them , 17.00-35/3.5 rims are provided for the Komatsu 605-7 rigid mining dump truck.
The Komatsu 605-7 is a rigid mining dump truck manufactured by Komatsu of Japan. It is designed for open-pit mines, large earthmoving projects and heavy-load transportation tasks, with excellent load capacity and reliability.
Its main advantages are:
1. Large load capacity: can easily transport more than 60 tons of ore, coal and other heavy objects;
2. Strong power: Equipped with a powerful diesel engine to cope with steep slopes and heavy loads;
3. Rigid structure: The frame structure is strong and suitable for the rugged road conditions in mining areas;
4. Hydraulic retarder: improves downhill safety and reduces brake system wear;
5. Comfortable cab: shockproof design, with air conditioning to reduce driving fatigue;
6. Easy to maintain: The design focuses on maintenance convenience and supports centralized lubrication.
Komatsu 605-7 is a large rigid dump truck widely used in mining and heavy-load conditions. The rims suitable for this model must meet its high load, high strength and high safety requirements . Therefore, we designed a 17.00-35/3.5 5PC rim to match it.
What are the characteristics of the rims that match the Komatsu 605-7 ?
The Volvo L220 series wheel loaders are equipped with 27.00-29/3.5 rims (matched with corresponding 27.00-29 or 27.00R29 tires) mainly to meet their large load capacity and stability requirements under high-intensity working conditions. The following are the specific advantages of using this specification of rims:
Advantages of using 27.00-29/3.5 rims:
1. Strong carrying capacity
The tires that are compatible with the 27.00-inch wide + 29-inch diameter rims have a higher load index (Load Index), which can meet the operating requirements of high-tonnage loaders such as the L220 (the total machine weight is more than 30 tons, and the bucket capacity is 6-10 cubic meters) under heavy load conditions.
2. Improved tire stability
The 3.5-inch flange height can effectively fix the tire bead, preventing the tire from slipping or shifting under high torque and high lateral force, thereby improving operation safety.
3. Good adaptability to off-road and mining areas
The rim supports the installation of high-pattern and deep-pattern OTR engineering tires, which can improve the Volvo L220's grip and puncture resistance in extreme terrains such as soft ore piles, gravel yards, and slag yards.
4. Reduce the risk of tire derailment
The split structure + 3.5-inch flange can better withstand the high pressure inside the tire and reduce the risk of tire blowout or bead unseating. It is especially suitable for tubeless (TL) tires and has a good sealing effect when combined with the airtight ring.
5. More convenient maintenance
The five-piece split rim is easy to disassemble and assemble on site, which is particularly advantageous in a mining environment where tires are frequently replaced.
In short, the configuration of 27.00-29/3.5 rims can significantly enhance the performance of Volvo L220 in heavy-load complex environments such as mining areas and material yards, and improve: operating efficiency, handling stability, equipment durability, and operational safety.
HYWG is China's No.1 off-road wheel designer and manufacturer, and a world-leading expert in rim component design and manufacturing. All products are designed and produced according to the highest quality standards .
17.00-35/3.5 is made of high-quality steel , suitable for heavy-load conditions , with high load-bearing capacity. It is suitable for heavy-load and harsh occasions such as mines, metallurgy, coal mines, ports, etc., and has good compression resistance and toughness.
The 5-piece structural design facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of large tires. When disassembling and installing tires, only some components need to be detached, saving manpower and time . It is especially suitable for the mine maintenance process using hydraulic tire changers. The multi-piece structure prevents parts from flying out when the tire explodes, improving operation safety.
