The tire is designed with an ultra-wide tread and extra-large deep gear-shaped blocks, combined with a unique cut-resistant compound.
This provides exceptional resistance to cuts, wear and tearing, while maintaining excellent stability during operation. Importantly, this is achieved without compromising traction performance.
FAQ
What extreme-duty equipment uses the SH322 L-5 OTR tire in steel mills?
The SH322 L-5 is designed for extreme-duty wheel loaders like CAT 994, Komatsu WA1200, and LeTourneau L-1850 used in steel mills and scrap yards. Its extra-wide tread and extra-deep gear-shaped blocks provide exceptional durability for handling sharp scrap metal, slag, and steel cables.
How does the SH322 L-5 resist cuts, wear, and tearing in extreme conditions?
The SH322 uses a unique cut-resistant compound with extra-deep gear-shaped tread blocks providing exceptional resistance to cuts, wear, and tearing. The gear-shaped blocks interlock with the surface for stability while the extreme depth provides maximum protection. This triple protection makes it the most durable tire in Vannova's OTR range.
Is the SH322 suitable for extreme mining conditions in Chile and Peru?
Yes, the SH322 L-5 is ideal for extreme mining conditions where standard tires fail. In Chilean copper mines with aggressive ore, the extra-deep tread provides durability for continuous operation. In Peruvian mining operations, the unique cut-resistant compound protects against sharp fragments.
How long does the SH322 L-5 last compared to L-4 and L-3 tires?
The SH322 L-5 offers 40-60% longer service life than L-4 and 60-80% longer than L-3 in extreme conditions. The extra-deep tread provides substantially more usable rubber, while the unique compound reduces premature failure. Although initial investment is higher, cost per hour is significantly lower.
What applications is the SH322 L-5 specifically designed for?
The SH322 L-5 is specifically designed for the most demanding applications: steel mills (sharp scrap metal), scrap yards (metal debris), extreme mining (aggressive ore), and slag handling (high temperature). Its gear-shaped tread blocks and extra-deep pattern make it the top choice for extreme-duty operations worldwide.
