\n\tTyre Protection Solutions<\/p>\n\tSlag & Scrap Handling<\/h1>

\n\tSlag and scrap handling is one of the toughest environments for any tyre. High temperatures, liquid steel slag, heavy sharp scrap and abrasive concrete surfaces attack the tyre with every pass. pewag tyre protection chains answer with reinforced, highly wear-resistant designs that shield tyres from heat and impact while keeping wheel loaders and material handlers working.<\/p>\t\t

\n\t\n\n\t\n\tSlag & Scrap Handling<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\t

\n\tSteel mills, foundries, scrap yards and recycling sites expose tyres to extreme heat from liquid slag, large solid scrap pieces and abrasive concrete driveways. These conditions can destroy an unprotected tyre quickly and bring expensive machines to a standstill. pewag tyre protection chains<\/a> are built specifically for this work, with reinforced, highly wear-resistant and customised designs that protect the tyre and extend its service life.

With proven chain families such as granite<\/a>, ringstar<\/a> and tycoon<\/a>, available in square, hexa, quad cross and compact cross mesh designs, pewag matches the right level of protection and traction to your material, machine and site.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\n\n\t\n\tFAQ for Slag & Scrap Handling<\/h2><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\n\tWhich pewag tyre protection chains are suitable for slag and scrap handling?<\/svg><\/button>\n\n\t\n\n\t

\n\tThe slag and scrap handling range of tyre protection chains<\/a> includes granite, ringstar and tycoon. granite is a versatile, multifunctional chain for mixed slag and rock, ringstar offers an extremely dense mesh for highly abrasive material, and tycoon is built for the largest loaders and the most demanding conditions. Each is available in square and hexa mesh designs.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\tWhy do slag and scrap sites need reinforced chains?<\/svg><\/button>\n\n\t\n\n\t

\n\tVery high temperatures, liquid steel slag, large solid scrap pieces and concrete driveways create some of the toughest working conditions for tyres. pewag answers with reinforced, highly wear-resistant and customised chain designs that protect tyres from heat, impact and abrasion and help reduce costly downtime.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\tHow do I choose the right mesh design?<\/svg><\/button>\n\n\t\n\n\t

\n\tSquare mesh provides the finest, densest coverage for maximum tyre protection, even on the sharpest material. Hexa mesh adds grip alongside protection. Quad cross uses an 8-link construction for tough traction applications, and compact cross uses a 10-link construction for grip, stable running and self-cleaning. pewag can advise the best mesh for your material and machine.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\tWhich machines are pewag slag and scrap chains fitted to?<\/svg><\/button>\n\n\t\n\n\t

\n\tThey are typically fitted to wheel loaders and material handlers working in steel mills, foundries, scrap yards and recycling operations, protecting the tyres that keep material moving.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\t
