Better mobility and improved versatility with wheeled excavator


excavator tires

The advantage of a wheeled excavator versus one with tracks is that you have much better mobility and can move around much faster. Depending on the work site you can even manage with just an excavator and a dump truck, where the excavator will dig the site and the dump truck can remove all the material from the site. In some cases you would also add a loader that can collect the material and then dump it in the dump truck, this can of course be avoided it the excavator can dump straight into a dump truck, where you would probably need two dump trucks not to slow down the work of the excavator.

With a wheeled excavator you will need to make sure that you will get good reliable excavator tires that will be able to provide enough stability and grip, while also being very durable. The same goes for the dump truck and the wheel loader tires, they will need to be very puncture resistant to avoid having tire problems from the sharp objects like rocks on the site. Ending up with tire problems can cause major delays and be very costly. If it is a contracting job, you might lose the whole profit from a job by accidental problems caused by bad tires or bad maintenance.

Investing in proper tires always pays off. When you are dealing with expensive equipment and tight timelines, any type of breakdown is expensive. It is expensive to urgently fix a machine or a tire on the site instead of at the workshop. Expensive as it often leaves other machines unable to do their job and then possible penalties due to delays in delivery. Breakdowns can also cause personnel injuries, which of course should be avoided at all costs.

Earthmoving tires will always be priced highly as they are very complex safety products, which need to be able to deliver regardless of the conditions. They can’t crack under extreme loads and they can’t allow puncture due to sharp rocks or objects on the sites. The should also last and allow you a trouble free service life, so that you can concentrate on making money with the equipment instead of having to worry about unscheduled downtime or other problems related to the tires of the equipment.

Truck tires are some of the most used tires as you have trucks on all continents around the world delivering goods throughout our nations. Everything we find in our stores have come from somewhere and it has all arrived by truck to the stores. Some can come as far away as other continents and shipped via freight containers on our oceans to reach a port for further distribution around the continent. So the trucks will have to travel very long distances and have to endure a lot of different weather conditions. This will put a lot of pressure on the truck tires  to be able to ensure that you get to the end destination on time regardless of weather conditions. When it comes to commercial tires is that they are made to endure long distances, but you will need to make sure that you select tires that have been developed with the highest quality and have been tested to endure the conditions that you will drive your trucks through.

The current global trade wars will for sure impact all of use in one way or another. There will for sure impact the amount being delivered and arriving at the main ports. The question is though if it will be a significant and long standing disruption. It might also lead to a shift in how the logistics is done. It will most likely not be a big decline, but it is more likely to stifle the growth. So there will be a similar demand of equipment at the main ports as well as in the various terminals.
