Scraper Tyres

Role of Scraper in the industry

A scraper is a high-production earthmoving machine designed to cut, load, transport and deposit material across large mining and earthmoving applications and heavy-duty construction environments. It operates with a bowl, apron and ejector system that allows rapid loading cycles and efficient material relocation over medium haul distances. Because scrapers work at higher travel speeds than many earthmoving machines and carry significant rolling loads, tyres such as the MA02, MA05 and MA08 provide the required traction, load stability and resistance to impact during continuous cycles.

Types of Tyres Used in these Machines

Machines fitted with Scraper tyres require tread patterns and casing constructions engineered for high-speed earthmoving, delivering reliable grip on loose soil, clay, aggregates and mixed terrain often encountered in mining and earthmoving applications or construction environments. These tyres must support heavy loading during cut-and-fill operations while maintaining predictable handling during travel phases, ensuring stability when entering cuts, climbing grades or dumping material.

Tyre Requirements for Reliable Performance

Tyres for scrapers must withstand sustained rolling loads, high torque during loading, and frequent transitions between soft ground and compacted haul routes. They require a reinforced casing to manage impact forces from rocks and uneven surfaces, a tread compound that resists abrasion and chunking, and a footprint that preserves stability at higher travel speeds. Consistent traction, heat resistance and uniform pressure distribution are essential to ensure safe, efficient and uninterrupted scraper operation under demanding earthmoving conditions.
