Road construction is an undertaking of large proportions, demanding not only substantial resources but also intricate coordination of manpower, machinery, and materials. The rollers involved in this job require special tires with high load capacities and particular tread patterns for maximum productivity. Meet the Mitas Compactor - a resilient model designed for road construction jobs.
Above all, the Mitas Compactor comes in multiple variants that share the same tread pattern but differ in structure. These are the Standard, Smooth, and Extra, all having different technical stats for various operations. The most resilient of them all - the Compactor Extra - has a ply rating of 18 and can safely handle loads of up to 13,200 lbs per single tire, making it ideal for heavier rollers on tasks of larger scale. Next, this model comes in both TL (tubeless) and TT (tube type) variants, depending on the size, to fit a wider range of needs.
The tube adds an extra layer of protection against spikes while the tubeless structure secures a safe fit of the rim to prevent pressure loss, each coming with its pros and cons. Besides that, strong ply ratings apply to different sizes, thus raising durability and load capacity. Now for the most important aspect, the slick tread pattern is suitable for compacting operations due to its smoothness and width that evenly spreads weight pressure on the surface, boosting flotation. Also, tough sidewalls grant protection against lateral scrapes to increase the service life of the tire. At last, an advanced rubber compound is present to lower the rolling resistance and deliver superb grip. This reduces fuel usage without giving up performance, offering the best traction on fresh asphalt. The tire is available in many sizes up to 20" rim diameter.
