Wide tread, high traction, high wear resistance and high puncture resistance.
FAQ
What underground mining equipment uses the SH302 C-1 OTR tire?
The SH302 C-1 is designed for underground mining loaders and LHD equipment operating in confined tunnel conditions. It fits CAT R1300, Sandvik LH410, and Atlas Copco ST1030 loaders used in underground copper mines in Chile and gold mines in Peru. The C-1 tread provides excellent traction on hard rock surfaces.
How does the SH302 C-1 provide high traction and wear resistance underground?
The SH302 features a wide tread surface with high traction design specifically for underground mining conditions. Its high wear resistance ensures long service life on abrasive underground rock surfaces, while the puncture-resistant construction protects against sharp rock fragments common in tunnel operations.
Is the SH302 suitable for narrow-vein mining in Peru?
Yes, the SH302 C-1 is well-suited for narrow-vein mining operations in Peru where space is limited and maneuverability is critical. The wide tread provides stability in tight spaces, while the high traction ensures reliable performance on steep underground ramps. Its puncture resistance protects against sharp vein rock.
What is the service life of SH302 C-1 in underground mining conditions?
The SH302 C-1 delivers 2,000-3,500 hours in underground mining depending on rock conditions. The wide tread ensures even wear distribution, while the high wear resistance extends service life on abrasive surfaces. Proper maintenance including regular pressure checks can extend life by 15-20%.
What are the advantages of C-1 tread pattern for underground mining?
The C-1 tread pattern offers three advantages for underground mining: (1) Excellent traction on hard rock surfaces for safe operation on ramps. (2) Wide contact area for stability in confined spaces. (3) Puncture resistance against sharp rock fragments. This combination makes it ideal for LHD loaders in tunnel operations.
