Snow chains

Specially designed reinforced chains from pewag provide maximum strength for underground mining operations. These chains offer optimal wear resistance and improved side protection thanks to their dense inner and outer mesh, ensuring durability even in the harshest conditions.

TIRE PROTECTION CIRCUITS

Mining equipment, such as wheel loaders (WA 1200, CAT 994, LT 2350) and dump trucks (CAT 797, HD 930), is getting bigger and heavier, as are their tires (70/70-57; 59/80-63). In 1992, pewag made history as a pioneer by installing the first-ever tires on the CAT 994, and in 2003, on the world's largest tire at the time (60/80-57). Setting the standard for durability, in 2006, pewag introduced a new generation of 23 mm thick, high-strength tire protection chains, which were successfully installed in 2007 on the world's largest wheel loader, the WE 2350 (70/70-57).

Industries and applications

Pewag tire protection chains play a crucial role in heavy industry, enhancing tire durability in the harshest conditions. In open-pit mining, they protect against sharp rocks, significantly reducing downtime. In underground mining and tunneling, they provide reliable traction and debris protection. In quarries, they support heavy loads on uneven terrain, while in slag and scrap handling, they maintain tire integrity amidst sharp materials. In these challenging environments, pewag chains extend tire lifespan and enhance operational efficiency.

Advantage

Tires for earth-moving equipment are one of the most expensive consumables for wheeled vehicles. These valuable assets are vulnerable to cuts, punctures, and other damage. In the face of a global shortage of these specialized tires, pewag Tire Protection Chains offer an effective solution for extending tire life and reducing operating costs.
