What is the rim in construction equipment?

The rim is a key component under any construction vehicle. The rim is often overlooked, and it is the foundation of the entire wheel assembly. It plays a key role in determining vehicle performance, safety, and service life. The rim is the key interface between the tire and the vehicle, ensuring a safe and stable connection.

The rim in construction refers to the key component that mounts the tire and supports its shape. It is a part of the wheel, mainly used in construction engineering machinery vehicles such as loaders, forklifts, cranes, mining transport vehicles, etc., and is widely used in construction, mines, ports and other working environments.

The main functions of the rim of construction equipment are:

1. Fix the tire and provide firm support to ensure that the tire does not fall off at high speed or high load.

2. Support the load, bear the weight of the equipment and external load.

3. Transmit power to help the vehicle drive effectively in complex terrain.

4. Heat dissipation function, through the structural design of metal materials, reduce the overheating of the tire in a high-temperature working environment.

The rims in construction equipment are divided into the following categories:

1. Integral rims

This type of rim has a simple structure and high strength, and is often used in small and medium-sized construction machinery.

2. Multi-piece rims

This type of rim consists of multiple parts such as rim seat, lock ring, side ring, etc., which is suitable for large construction machinery and mining vehicles. Easy to disassemble and maintain.

3. Split rims

This type of rim consists of two parts, which are fixed and connected by bolts, making it easy to replace and repair.

The rims in construction are key load-bearing and supporting components. HYWG is China's No. 1 off-road wheel designer and manufacturer, and also the world's leading expert in rim component design and manufacturing. All products are designed and produced according to the highest quality standards. We have more than 20 years of experience in wheel manufacturing.

We have mature technology in the research and development and production of rims. We have a research and development team composed of senior engineers and technical experts, focusing on the research and application of innovative technologies, and maintaining a leading position in the industry. Our rims not only involve a variety of vehicles, but also are the original rim suppliers in China for well-known brands such as Volvo, Caterpillar, Liebherr, and John Deere.

The rims developed and produced by our company meet some of the requirements required by construction vehicles at work.

1. High load-bearing capacity: The steel used in our steel rims is of high strength and can withstand heavy weight and strong impact, which is particularly suitable for heavy machinery, mining transportation vehicles and construction machinery.

2. Durability: Due to the use of high-quality steel in production and special treatment (such as heat treatment or anti-corrosion coating), steel rims have high wear resistance and corrosion resistance and can be used for a long time in harsh environments.

3. Effectively reduce costs and improve use efficiency: Compared with materials such as aluminum alloys, steel rims have a lower manufacturing cost, which makes them more common in some large-scale heavy vehicles. It becomes an ideal choice for cost-sensitive projects and applications, especially for medium-sized construction machinery and mining transportation vehicles.

4. Improve impact resistance: The elasticity and toughness of steel enable steel rims to effectively resist the impact from uneven ground, stones, potholes, etc., reducing the risk of damage.

Our company provides rims with a size of 27.00-29/3.5 for the Volvo L260H large wheel loader, a popular model among Volvo construction vehicles.
