Want strength? Then the Maxam MS401 is your choice to go. This mining and off the road tire delivers everything a rigid frame haul truck needs. Starting from safety, and going to performance, it has it all. Also, this is the ideal tire for high site TKPH/TMPH.
Firstly, the wide and square footprint spreads the weight of the heavy truck over a larger area. These machines carry extremely heavy loads, sometimes weighing hundreds of tons. If the Maxam MS401 were small or narrow, all that weight would press down on a small area, which could cause the truck to sink into soft ground, like mud or sand. A wide and square footprint helps distribute the weight more evenly, reducing the pressure on the ground. Hence, the Maxam MS401 can easily carry up to 60,070 lbs per single tire, depending on the size.
Secondly, the heat resistant undertread protects the Maxam MS401 from heat buildup. When a haul truck is in operation, the tires generate a lot of heat due to the heavy loads they carry and the long distances they travel. Then, the deep grooves are important for clearing water, mud, or other debris away. When the vehicle drives through water or mud, these substances can create a layer between the Maxam MS401 and the ground, reducing traction. This can be dangerous because it makes the machine more likely to slide or get stuck. The deep grooves allow water and mud to flow from under the body. Finally, the available sizes on the US market start with 24'' and go up to 49'' rim diameter options.
