pewag Goes Big
Mining machines, such as wheel loaders (WA 1200, CAT 994, LT 2350) and dump trucks (CAT 797, HD 930), are becoming increasingly larger and heavier – and so are their tires (70/70-57; 59/80-63). In 1992, pewag made history as a pioneer by fitting a CAT 994 for the first time, and in 2003 by outfitting the world’s largest tire at the time (60/80-57). Setting the standard in durability, pewag launched a new generation of highly robust 23mm tire protection chains in 2006, which were successfully fitted in 2007 on the world’s largest wheel loader, the WE 2350 (70/70-57).
pewag Goes Underground
Specially designed reinforced chain solutions by pewag deliver maximum strength for underground mining operations. These chains offer optimal wear resistance and enhanced flank protection through a dense inside and outside mesh, ensuring durability even in the harshest conditions.

What Makes Our Products Stand Out
Earth Mover Tires represent one of the highest single consumable cost factors for operating wheeled units. These valuable assets are vulnerable to cuts, punctures, and other damage. With a global shortage of these specialized tires, pewag Tire Protection Chains provide an effective solution to extend tire life and reduce operational costs.
Industries and Applications
pewag Tire Protection Chains play a critical role in heavy-duty industries by enhancing tire durability in the harshest environments. In open-pit mining, they protect against sharp rocks, significantly reducing downtime. In underground mining and tunneling, they ensure reliable traction and safeguard against debris. For quarrying, they support heavy loads on uneven terrain, while in slag and scrap handling, they preserve tire integrity amidst sharp materials. Across these demanding applications, pewag chains extend tire life and boost operational efficiency.
Make the Right Decision
Tire protection chains are essential for protecting your high-cost Earth Mover Tires from damage caused by sharp rocks, rough terrain, and heavy loads. By covering the vulnerable parts of the tire with a durable mesh, these chains reduce wear and tear, extend tire life, and minimize costly downtimes. Choosing pewag chains ensures maximum productivity, safety, and cost-efficiency.
The type of rock you are working with significantly impacts the performance and longevity of your tires. Softer rocks like limestone may pose less risk, while harder, abrasive rocks such as granite or quartz can quickly wear down tires. pewag tire protection chains are engineered to handle various rock types, providing the necessary protection and traction to keep your operation moving smoothly.
The hardness of the rock plays a crucial role in tire wear. Based on the Mohs hardness scale, rocks can range from soft (talc) to extremely hard (diamond). The harder the rock, the more likely it is to cause damage. pewag chains are built to withstand the harshest conditions, offering superior protection even in environments with high-hardness materials like quartz or corundum.
When purchasing tire protection chains, consider the type of terrain, machine specifications, and the weight your equipment handles. Opt for chains that offer high durability, reliable traction, and minimal downtime. pewag provides chains with an extended service life, optimized protection, and easy maintenance, ensuring you get the best performance and value for your investment.
