Slag & Scrap Handling
Slag 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.

Slag & Scrap Handling
Steel 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 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, ringstar and tycoon, 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.
