Mitas to unveil new earthmoving tyre at Steinexpo

Mitas will unveil the newest addition to its family of ERL-50 earthmoving tyres – the 23.5R25 ERL-50 – at Steinexpo 2014 in Germany. The product will be available for worldwide sale in October 2014. ERL tyres are used on loaders, dozers and graders in mining operations. The Mitas ERL series features 12 various tyres of 28 – 90 mm tread depth.

“Mitas has a long expertise in manufacturing off-road tyres. By introducing the new size of ERL-50, we would like to emphasise our focus on industrial and particularly earthmover tyres,” said Andrew Mabin, Mitas Sales and Marketing Director. “Each off-road surface requires its own particular tread design and functionality. The ERL-50 is designed for rocky conditions.”

The ERL-50 tread pattern is particularly resistant to cut and wear. This radial tyre is designed for durability as Mitas altered its tread pattern and incorporated steel cord in the body and breaker.

Mitas will also display a wide range of earthmoving tyres from its stand (no. B24) at the event, which is running from 3 to 6 September in Homberg:

• 26.5R25 ERL-30
• 26.5R25 ERD-40
• 23.5R25 ERL-50
• 20.5R25 ERL-20
• 405/70R20 EM01

The ERL/ERD line is radial with a steel-enforced carcass and steel breakers. ERL/ERD tyres support retreading. This set of earthmoving tyres responds to various off-road surfaces through changes in tread design and functionality. Mitas ERL tyres fit on loader and grader machinery, and ERD tyres are designed for transport vehicles such as wheel loaders, dozers and graders, dumpers (including articulated) and scrapers.
