Underground Dump Truck Tyres

Role of Underground Dump Truck in the industry

A narrow-profile underground dump truck is a specialised haulage machine used in confined Underground mining operations to transport ore, waste rock and material through low-profile tunnels and declines. Its compact chassis, high torque output and reinforced structure allow efficient movement in areas with limited manoeuvring space. Because underground dump trucks operate under continuous load, with abrasive surfaces and restricted ventilation, tyres such as the MU25 and MU26 provide the required durability, cut resistance and traction essential for safe and efficient underground haulage.

Types of Tyres Used in Underground Dump Truck Operations

Machines operating on Underground dump truck tyres or Underground mining truck tyres require heavy-duty constructions engineered for extreme conditions found in deep mining environments. These tyres must deliver stable contact on uneven rock floors, withstand sharp debris and support high-load transport through ramps and declines. Their tread patterns and reinforced casings are designed to maintain predictable handling during tight turning and low-speed haulage typical of underground mining operations.

Tyre Requirements for Reliable Performance

Tyres for underground dump trucks must offer high resistance to cuts, chipping and abrasion while maintaining structural integrity under heavy loads, low ventilation and continuous operation. They require strong sidewall protection to handle rock impacts, compounds capable of limiting heat build-up in confined spaces and a footprint designed for grip on wet or uneven underground surfaces. Consistent traction, controlled deformation and reliable stability are essential to ensure safe, efficient and uninterrupted haulage performance in demanding underground mining environments.
