The Maxam MS402 is a special type of tire that works in tough conditions, like those found in mines and quarries. This dump truck tire handles heavy loads, rough surfaces, and long hours of use without wearing out quickly. Hence, it is strong, durable, and able to provide good traction, even on rocky or uneven ground.
Firstly, the solid center bar improves stability. In mining operations, trucks and machines often have to move over rough, uneven surfaces like rocks and dirt. If the tire is not stable, it can cause the vehicle to wobble, which can be dangerous. The solid center bar provides extra support at the center, helping it stay firm and stable as it moves over different surfaces. This stability is crucial for keeping the vehicle safe and steady, especially when carrying heavy loads. Also, the tubeless build is better at holding air. In traditional models, the air is held inside the inner tube. In a tubeless build, the air is held inside the Maxam MS402 itself, and it is sealed tightly against the wheel.
Secondly, the wide and square footprint spreads the weight over a larger area, reducing the pressure on any one part of the Maxam MS402. This even distribution of weight helps prevent excessive wear and tear, extending the life of the rubber. Hence, this model can handle up to 73,870 lbs per single tire, depending on the size. Equally important, the deeper grooved shoulders allow excessive air to go out, while reducing the risk of sliding by throwing away water. Finally, the available sizes on the US market start with 33'' and go up to 51'' rim diameter options.
