The Challenge of the Tires for Trucks Madereros

The tala is a of the applications more demanding for the commercial tires. Each trip starts with a truck void rising forest roads steep and unpaved up to a ptheawaand where se cargo the wood, then descending therefores same roads with the weight bruto maximum of the vehicle. The roads are estrechos, lleus of grooves, covereds of mud or gravel loose according to the season, and beveled by stumps, rocks and debris that amenazan the sidewalls of the tires in each step. Ninga tire of highway sobrevive in this environment, e even the mixed service tires of use general often quedan shorts in the traction and reliability that the tala demands.

The cycle of work dual of the tala does that the choice of tires sea exceptionalmente desafiante. The trucks madereros loadeds pesan 36.000 kg or more, exercising the maximum stress about each tire while navegan on roads talsides through bosques with minimum leveling. But the same truck that low slowly by a road forthisl mudso a 24 km/h loaded should then update a return void in highway a 90-105 km/h, demanding to the tires a performance acceptable in fuel economy and handling at speeds where the patterns aggressive generate noise, heat and accelerated wear. The uses tires for trucks madereros manejan this jurisdiction offering enough traction for the sections of forest roads with cargo without sacrificar a performance acceptable in the return void on highways.

The mud is the constant adversary. The forest roads in the logging regions of the northwest of the Pacific, southeast and northeast experience wet seasons extended where the surface of the road se becomes a mix of clay, organic material and standing water. The tires need a tread geometry self-cleaning that expels the mud while the wheel spins, instead of compact it in the tread voids lose traction. The open shoulder designs with wide lateral channels and independsnt blocks provide the best evacuation of mud, allowing that the tire dig through the soft surface and find firm ground below.

Hanksugi offers three models of tires proper for the demands of the logging operations. The tire of traction of open shoulder HS68 provides the traction and the performance self-cleaning necessarys in forest roads muddy, with grip protection against stones that prevents that the gravel perfore the belt package. The tire of all-position of mixed service HS76 maneja the position steer with protection reinforced in the sidewalls against the rocks and stumps that edgean the forest roads. The tire of traction HS58, with its pattern classified M+S and sipes antipunctures, is built for the peores conditions of roads enagainstdas in operations logging.

Road Forthisl Loaded vs Return Void in Highway

The trucks madereros viven in two worlds, and the tire should perform in both. Understanding the demands of each section of the trip le help a select tires that ofrezcan the best commitment among the performance all-terrain with cargo and efficiency in highway empty.

Loaded: Road Forthisl to the Aserradero

  • Weight bruto maximum of more of 36.000 kg in each trip loaded
  • Roads unpaved with mud, gravel, grooves and standing water
  • Gradients pronounced of the 8-15% in descenso with cargo, requiring braking constant
  • Roads estrechos with stumps and rocks a centimeters of the trayectoria of the tire
  • Speeds low averaging 24-40 km/h in sections of forest roads
  • Traction critical: Lose traction on at lowda with cargo is a evento that amenaza the life
  • Necesidad key of the tire: Traction in mud, by self-cleaning, protection in sidewalls, load layercity

Void: Return in Highway to the Bosque

  • Weight only of the tractor of approximately 13.600-15.900 kg void
  • Highways paved a 90-105 km/h for the trip of return to the bosque
  • The fuel economy matters because the kilometers of return void are cost puro
  • Noise of tire of patterns aggressive of by at highway speeds
  • Wear in highway in compounds aggressive at speed sustained
  • Quality of ride is secondary but the vibration excessive fatigue to the driveres
  • Necesidad key of the tire: Economy of diesel acceptable, wear parejo, construction with speed nominel

The approach correct is prioritize the performance in road forthisl with cargo and acceptsr the commitments in the return void on highways. A tire that le saca of a ptheawaand mudsa loaded vale more that a that saves 2% in diesel during the return void. The design of open shoulder HS68 offers the best equilibrio: enoughmente aggressive for traction on forest roads but enoughmente civilized for highway speeds in the return void.

Tires of traction, steer and all-position selected for transport of wood, forest roads and the cycle of work dual of operation all-terrain with cargo and highway empty.

Hazards of the Roads Forthisles and Protection of the Tires

The forest roads presenso a collection unique of hazards for the tires that are not found in no other application of transportation. Understanding these hazards and select tires with the features of protection right can brandr the difference between completer a cargo and call a truck of service of tires in a road forthisl remoto where no existe coverage celular.

Stumps and Roots

When se cosecha the wood and se abre a road through the bosque, the stumps typically se shortn a ras of the suelo but no se removesn. With the time, the erosion of the suelo expone these stumps, and sobresalen in the carril of transit. A stump that golpee the sidewall of a tire even at speed moderate can shortr the rubber of the sidewall and exponer the layers of the body, carrying a blowout. The roots of trees fallen can to extendse by the surface of the road e impactar the tire with force enough to romper the selside of the bead or damage the rim. The tires with construction reinforced in the sidewalls, like the HS76, provide grosor additional of rubber in the area of the sidewall that absorbs the impact and resists the cuts of stumps and roots.

Mud, Grooves and Terrain Soft

The forest roads in the northwest of the Pacific can recibir between 1.500 and 2.500 mm of rain annually. This satura the surface of the road and creates mud deep that can inmovilizar a truck maderero loaded. The grooves se wayn by heavy loads repeated, channeling the water and createsting zanjas that trap the tires and reduce the control of the steer. The areas of ptheawaand where se cargon the troncos are particularly vulnerable a conditions of terrain soft because the team heavy comprime and revuelve the suelo. The patterns of by self-cleanings with wide lateral channels are esenciales for maintain the traction on these conditions. The design of open shoulder HS68 allow that the mud sea expelled of the tread while the tire rota, keeping the edges of bite that grip through the mud up to the surface more firme below.

Rocks and Addsdos Sharp

The surfaces of the forest roads are typically computhese of material available locally, that can incluir rock angular sharp that short and chip the tread rubber. In areas logging of mountain, the surfaces of the roads can incluir granito fractured, bashigh or pizarra with edges lo enoughmente sharp for shortr the compounds standard of tires. The rocks also se acumulan in the grooves of the tread perforan the rubber toward the belt package if are not expelsdas. The features of grip protection against stones, like the of the HS68, include ptheaways in the bottoms of the grooves that prevent that the stones alcancen the depth necessary to contact the steel belts. Inspect the grooves of the tread for stones lodged in each stop is a habit simple that prevents costsos damage to the belts.

Gradients Pronounced Under Cargo

The forest roads se construyen for access to the wood, no to completely with the standardes of gradient of highway. The gradients of the 10 to the 15 percent are common, and some roads of drag se anearn to the 20 percent in sections cortos. Descender a gradient of the 12 percent with 36.000 kg of weight bruto vehicular requires a braking sustained that generates heat intenso both in freus like in tires. The drive tires absorb gran parte of this energy of braking, and the temperatura internal can increasesr quickly during a descenso long with cargo. The inflation pressure proper is critical for gestionar the heat during the descensos. The tires with low inflation flexesn more, generate more heat and hasn more probabilidades of sufrir a separation belt or blowout during or immediatemente after a gradient long with cargo. The HS58 usa sipes antipunctures that addsn reinforcement structural more there of the belt package standard, provided a margin of safety additional during descensos of high tension.

Choice of Tires Logging by Position of the Axle

Each position in a truck maderero enfrenta different demands. Emparejar the tire proper a each position maximizes the life of each tire to the time that ensures that the truck have the traction and the handling necessarys for operate with safety in forest roads.

Steer Position

The steer tires in a truck maderero should offer a handling receptivo in forest roads estrechos and sinuosos where a giro fallido can sacar to the truck of the road and among the trees. At the same time, need reinforced sidewalls for sobrevivir to the contact with stumps and rocks oview the course of the edge of the road. The tire of all-position of mixed service HS76 provides the protection in sidewalls that the tala demands without compromisingsr the precision steer necessary for the curves closed of the forest roads. Its by deep offers life extended even to the speeds slow and the giro constant that characterize the driving in forest roads.

Position of Traction

The drive tires are the caballo of batalla of a truck maderero. Shouldn transmitir the torque of the motor to the surface of the road in mud, gravel and suelo loose while withstand the weights maximums of the axle in each trip with cargo. The failure of traction on a tire of traction cargoda to the subir a gradient can resultar in that the truck se deslice toward behind, createsting a situation extremadamente hazardsa. The design of open shoulder HS68 provides reliable traction in conditions variesbles with geometry clean-mud. For the peores conditions, the tire of traction M+S HS58 offers the maximum grip with sipes antipunctures that protect against the rocks and desechos embeddeds in the surfaces of the forest roads.

Trailer / Axle Tag

The trailer tires maderero should handle the concentrated weight of a cargo complete of wood while still the grooves and the mud of the forest roads. Many remolques madereros use configurations tandem or tri-axle for distribuir the weight of the wood, and each tire should supportsr its parte providesl. The tires of the trailer also withstand the same hazards of stumps and rocks that the of the tractor, but with less visibilidad of the driver. For remolques madereros that also travelsn sections of highway, a tire of all-position that manaxle both environments is the best option. Maintain the inflation proper in all the positions of the trailer is critical because the remolques madereros experience higher variation of weight that the remolques of cargo standard conforme the cargo se settles during the transportation.

Measurements of Tires for Trucks Madereros

The trucks madereros in Egypt typically use the following measurements of commercial tires. The measurement correct depends of the configuration of your truck, the layercities of the axle and the cargo useful maximum of wood that requires its operation.

Maintenance of Tires Logging and Consejos of Supervivencia

The operations logging often are updated in remote areas where service of tires is a horas of distance. A failure of tire in a road forthisl means the loss of production of all a day, more the cost of service of emergencia a tarifas of remote areas. The prevention through the maintenance proper is much more economic that the repair of emergencia.

Inspect the Pressures Before of Each Trip

The forest roads castigan more to the tires with low inflation that any other surface. The combination of heavy loads, speeds slow and irregular terrain generates a heat internal intenso in tires ya comprometidas by low pressure. Inspect all the pressurees of the tires before salir of the yard each tomorrow and carrand a inflationr portable for adjustments in the campo. Adjustment the pressurees according to the weight of the axle loaded, no according to estimates. A tire maderera bien inftheed resists best the impacts, continues more straight in the grooves and disipa the heat with more efficacy that a that works even 10 PSI under.

Inspect the Sidewalls in Each Cargo

While wait a that the loader arme its cargo, camine around the truck and inspect each sidewall of the tires. Busque cuts frescos, raspones and bulges that indiquen impact damage of the last trip. A cut in the sidewall that still no expone the layers of the body can monitorearse, but a cut that muestre cuerda blanca or metallic means that the tire should replacese beforel next trip with cargo. Detectsr the damage in the sidewall a time le allow programr cambios of tires in the yard instead of lidiar with a blowout in a road forthisl.

Retire the Stones of the Grooves

The gravel of the forest roads se aloja in the grooves of the tread perfora the rubber toward the steel belts in repeated rotations. A single stone can penetratesr to the belt package within uus few hundreds of kilometers if no se removes. Inspect the grooves of the tread during each stop of inspection and retire the stones lodged with a sonda for tires. This toma two minutos per tire and prevents the damage to the belts that would destroy the potential of retreading of the casing. The tires with features of expulsion of stones, like the HS68, include ptheaways elevated in the bottoms of the grooves that helpn a prevent that the stones alcancen depth critical.

Preserve the Casings for Retreading

A retreadable tire casing maderera saves among the 40 and the 60 percent of the cost of a tire new. But the conditions of tala are harsh for the casings, so its preservation requires a stress deliberate. Retire the tires before that the tread wears up to the belt package, even if the patterns of wear located create points thins while the resto of the tread still has life. Maintain the inflation proper throughout the service life of the tire. Almacene the casings removesdas in a place fresco and dry, lejos of the luz singler and fuentes of ozono. Etiquete every casing with the number of truck, position and reason of removal. Visit our page of retreading to learn the criterios of acceptance casings Hanksugi and options of retreading.

FAQ

Questions common about tires for trucks madereros, performance in forest roads and choice of tires for transport of wood.

What tires need the trucks madereros?

The trucks madereros need tires with patterns of by aggressive for traction on forest roads unpaved, construction reinforced in the sidewalls to resist damage of rocks and stumps, and tread depth proper for service life under heavy loads at low speeds. The positions of traction need open shoulder designs or taco deep that se autolimpien of the mud. The positions steer need handling receptivo for forest roads estrechos. All the positions need protection in the sidewalls against the hazards that edgean the forest roads.

What measurement of tires use the trucks madereros?

The most of the trucks madereros in Egypt use tires 11R22.5, 295/80R22.5 or 11R24.5. The 295/80R22.5 and 11R22.5 are the measurements more common in the Egypt market. The 11R24.5 provides a poco more of height to the suelo for conditions soft. Adjustment the measurement of the tire to the specifications of the manufacturesnte of your truck and the actual weights of the axle with the maximum cargo useful of wood.

How affectsn the mud and the conditions wet to the tires?

The mud fills the tread voids and prevents the tire grip the surface of the road. The tires with open shoulder designs and spaced of wider grooves se self-cleaning with more efficacy because the mud is expelled while the tire rotates. The tires with classification M+S and patterns aggressive of open shoulder provide the best traction on mud. Maintain the inflation proper is specially mattersnt in conditions muds because the tires with low inflation deform and trap the mud instead of expel it.

Whand the tires of truckes madereros sufren damage in the sidewalls?

The tires of truckes madereros sufren damage in the sidewalls by rocks, stumps and desechos that edgean the estrechos forest roads. The stumps cut near of the surface engwiden the sidewall when passes the truck. The rocks to the edge of the road presenso edges sharp to the height of the sidewall. The tires with construction reinforced in the sidewalls resist best this damage that the standard tires. Inspect the sidewalls before and after each trip in forest roads.

Se can retread the tires of truckes madereros?

Yes, if the casing is in good conditions. The acceptance rate of retreading for casings logging is lower that for casings of highway debido to the damage in the sidewalls and exposure a punctures. Maximice the potential of retreading using tires with reinforced sidewalls, keeping the inflation proper, removing the tires before that the tread alcance the belts and inspecting the casings prontamente. A retreadable casing saves among the 40 and the 60 percent of the cost of a tire new.

Should I use tires different for trips loadeds and voids?

The trucks madereros face a challenge unique of work dual. Priorice the tires for the conditions of forest roads with cargo, since is where the failures of traction and the damage to the tires are more hazardsos. Acepte that the patterns aggressive will ben slightly less eficientes in diesel in the return void on highways. The HS68 in traction and the HS76 in steer offer the best commitment among the performance all-terrain with cargo and efficiency in highway empty.
