One of India’s leading tyre manufacturers Apollo Tyres lined up a full range of bias pneumatic tyres for earthmoving, mining, and construction equipment. The products on display were predominantly mining tyres for rigid dump trucks, wheel loaders, and underground mining equipment.
“IMME is perhaps the largest platform in India for mining vehicles, equipment, and related components, so we are here to reach out to mining corporations like Coal India and Hindustan Zinc, mining contractors, equipment rental companies, and OEMs with a complete range of pneumatic tyres for their equipment”, observed Mr. Siddharth Shinde, Product Marketing, Ind & EM-APEMA, Apollo Tyres. The company is already a direct supplier to leading OEMs in the segment, he added.
He was positive that the expo brings his company a fair number of customer enquiries on mining related tyres. Apollo’s specialist heavy-duty loader tyres come with unique and innovative traction tread design, even to suit slurry and muddy conditions. AWL 822, designed for mining loaders and dozers in high-abrasion conditions, features robust reinforcements to support heavy loads, claims the company.
All these tyres are manufactured at the company’s Limda plant in Gujarat, which boasts one of the biggest curing presses in the whole of South-East Asia
