Tyres are one of the biggest running costs on wheel loaders in quarries. The habits that make the biggest difference:
- Avoid wheel spin when entering the pile. Let the bucket do the work; use traction control if your machine has it.
- Keep the loading area clean with regular dozing or sweeping of spilled rock.
- Check pressures weekly, cold.
- Choose the right tread: L3 for general work, L5 for severe rock.
- Short cycles: position trucks to minimise travel and turning.
