Advantages of RUD Tyre Protection Chains

April 11, 2018

RUD Chains have been manufacturing and supplying top quality Tyre Protection Chains all over the world for over 70 years for a variety of earthmover machines, working in harsh conditions such as quarries, mines, slag recycling, steel mill operations and other heavy industries.

Earthmovers and heavy wheeled loaders working across the quarrying industry continuously face the threat of damages to tyres, due to punctures and sidewall damage from haul road rock debris and accidental impact. The cost for tyre protection repairs and replacements is expensive, as well as the costs which occur from machine downtime and lost production. The fitting of robust Tyre Protection Chains is undoubtedly an essential asset.

RUD Tyre Protection Chains offer a wide range of wear links to provide either Traction and Protection or both. The chain is designed so that it is specific to the customer’s operational needs. For example, the Ring-Locking system has specifically designed edges on the outer surface of the chain and a multiple link configuration to help increase traction on aggressive and low traction surfaces such as fire and hot slag.

The advantages of using RUD Tyre Protection Chains are abundant. Firstly we offer a comprehensive product range combined with unrivalled product support, fitting and service capabilities.

Our Tyre Protection Chains are well known in the industry for their quality, helping to reduce operating costs; decrease downtime and most importantly increase overall productivity.
