Terralion E3/L3 — an industrial tire designed for special equipment that operates in three aggressive scenarios: open pit mines, heavy civil construction, and solid industrial zone pavements. The model is designed as a compromise between off-road capability and gentle impact on asphalt during overpassing.
Blocks as an effective system
The transverse blocks have an S-shaped geometry. This shape increases the length of the contact edge by 25% compared to straight elements. When working on a rocky career, gravel or rolled soil, each bend literally "bites" into the surface, preventing slipping. The wide channels between the blocks perform a dual function. Firstly, they evacuate dirt and small debris from the contact area. Secondly, when moving on a solid surface, they reduce hydrodynamic resistance in rainy weather. Note that the block structures are formed to create a maximum contact area. This is a direct improvement in traction characteristics on loose and slippery surfaces.
Power basis
The internal frame is a solid metal cord with an increased density of threads in the breaker. Here, the number of layers in the area of the sidewalls and shoulders has been specially increased to counteract deformations during maneuvers on uneven terrain. It is the stiffness of the frame that guarantees that the working characteristics — the shape of the contact area, pressure distribution, stability on slopes — will remain unchanged throughout the life cycle.
Dense compound against cuts and punctures
The rubber of the model contains an increased proportion of polymeric compounds, which gives the mixture high density and resistance to mechanical stress. In addition, elastomers with a high modulus of elasticity have been introduced into the recipe. They work as shock absorbers when driving onto sharp stone edges or reinforcement fragments. Therefore, the tire withstands pinpoint punctures without through destruction, and cuts to the sidewall in 70% of cases remain superficial.
Key features of Terralion E3/L3:
- scope of application — front loaders, bulldozers, excavator-loaders;
- high-density compound with an enhanced puncture and cut resistance formula extends the resource even on sharp rocks;
- massive transverse blocks provide increased cross-country ability and stable traction on various soils;
- wide transverse channels effectively remove dirt, stone crumbs and water from the contact area, keeping the gripping edges clean.
