Open Cut Mining
Open cut mining places enormous demands on tyres. Sharp blasted rock, abrasive haul roads and the sheer weight of the largest loaders and dump trucks can quickly damage an unprotected tyre, and with earthmover tyres in short supply worldwide, every hour of tyre life matters. pewag has long led the way in chaining the world’s largest machines, protecting high-value tyres with durable, application-specific mesh designs.
With proven chain families including tyro, spike, granite, compact, ringstar and tycoon in square, hexa, quad cross and compact cross mesh designs, pewag matches the right protection and traction to your rock, machine and tyre size, right up to the largest wheel loaders in operation.

FAQ for Open Cut Mining
pewag offers a full range of TPC for open cut mining, from tyro and spike for softer ground to granite for mixed rock, compact for the largest loaders, and ringstar and tycoon for the hardest, most abrasive rock. Each is available in square and hexa mesh designs, including solutions for the world’s largest machines and tyres.
Earthmover tyres are one of the highest single consumable costs in mining and are in short supply worldwide. Tyre protection chains cover the vulnerable parts of the tyre with a durable mesh, protecting against cuts and punctures, extending tyre life, improving traction and reducing costly machine downtime.
Rock hardness and machine size are the main guides. Softer ground suits spike and tyro, medium rock suits granite and compact, and hard abrasive rock calls for ringstar or tycoon. Square mesh gives the densest tyre protection, hexa adds grip, quad cross is an 8-link traction construction, and compact cross is a 10-link self-cleaning design. pewag can recommend the best combination for your site.
