Mitas a.s. is introducing the newest addition to its family of ERL-50 earthmover tyres, the 23.5R25 ERL-50. at Steinexpo in Homberg, Germany. It will become available for worldwide sale in October.
ERL tyres are used on loaders, dozers and graders in mining operations. The Mitas ERL series features 12 various tyres of 28 to 90 mm tread depth.
“Mitas has a long expertise manufacturing off-road tyres,“ says Andrew Mabin, Mitas’ sales and marketing director. “By introducing new size of ERL-50, we would like to emphasize our focus on industrial and particularly earthmover tyres. Each off-road surface requires its own particular tread design and functionality. The ERL-50 is designed for rocky conditions.“
The radial ERL-50 tread pattern is particularly resistant to cut and wear and is designed for durability as with steel cord in the body and breaker.
The whole ERL/ERD line is radial with a steel-enforced carcass and steel breakers. ERL/ERD tyres support retreading, the company notes.
This set of earthmover tyres responds to various off-road surfaces by changes in tread design and functionality. Mitas ERL tyres fit on loader and grader machinery, and ERD tyres are for transport vehicles. These include wheel loaders, dozers and graders, dumpers (including articulated) and scrapers.
