Welcome to Michelin Earthmover
The Quarry Challenge
If you’re like most quarry operators, you’re continuously searching for ways to operate more efficiently and more productively... to move more loads in less time, minimize costly downtime, increase bucket fill and reduce cycle times. In this never-ending quest, earth moving equipment, operators and tires take a brutal beating digging and hauling heavy loads over rugged terrain. If one of your OTR tires goes down, everything can stop. MICHELIN® X-radials can help.
Michelin Delivers More Value
At Michelin, we know your business requires major investments in earth moving equipment, manpower, maintenance, tires and fuel. You have to buy smart and assess the value of your investments over time. Take OTR tires for example. You can measure the value of a tire based on initial purchase price or total life-cycle cost. With MICHELIN OTR tires, you’ll get a better return on your investment over the life of the tire. That’s because MICHELIN X-radial construction proves its worth, day after day, month after month, year after year, by delivering more uptime, more driver comfort, less stress on earth moving equipment and greater productivity than bias-ply tires.
| The MICHELIN X-Radial Advantage |
1. Tires that provide exceptional traction, protection, and long wear. |
2. Tires that provide stability and operator comfort. |
3. Tires that dig in and help move heavy cargo quickly up steep grades. |
4. Tires that help operators fill bigger buckets for bigger loads. |
Greater Levels of Performance
The rugged all-steel construction of MICHELIN X-radial tires offers distinct advantages over bias-ply tires. Designed to flex under the weight of the vehicle’s load, MICHELIN X -radials are actually more resistant to flats and punctures. They run cooler to resist sidewall fatigue and improve fuel economy. The steel belts hold the tread firmly on the ground for better traction. They also help the tire last longer and the tread wear evenly.
MICHELIN X-radials are engineered to give a smooth and stable ride, evenly distributing the weight of the vehicle and its load. By protecting your earth moving equipment from excessive shock and wear, you’re less likely to encounter breakdowns and costly equipment downtime. More tire deflection also helps provide comfort for operators, so they are less fatigued and more productive.
