Continental Earthmover Tires We move the earth

Continental’s Tire Portfolio for the Earthmoving Industry Continental is a global leader in tire manufacturing. We design, develop, and produce a wide range of superior products for almost every form of mobility. From high-performance bicycles, to high-horsepower specialty mining equipment, we have a solution for almost every need. But tires make up less than 30% of our business, because Continental is far more than an “ordinary” tire manufacturer. As a leading supplier of brake systems, instrumentation, vehicle electronics, and infotainment solutions, as well as systems and components for...

ContiEarth™ EM-Master designed for ADTs, Loaders, and Dozers. ContiEarth™ EM-Master ADTs, loaders, and dozers are used for transporting large quantities of bulk or aggregate material in extreme conditions ranging from soft and muddy soil to gravelly and rocky terrain in construction or mining sites. Durability, excellent traction, and superior resistance to rock cutting and heat generation are essential to operate in these extreme conditions. Continental’s EM-Master is customized for these specific demands. The tire is available in two versions with different tire tread designs. The...

Wide space between blocks Outstanding selfcleaningabilities Low heat build-up Five-edged block design Many gripping edges for powerful traction on soft and muddy terrain Narrow space between blocks High tread wear volume More service life Deep tread High carcass protection against cuts and damage by foreign objec

ContiEarth™ RDT-Master Rigid dump trucks are built to haul heavy loads over long distances in rough terrain. In these severe applications tires have to offer high stability and good traction even at higher speeds. In addition, the tires need to be extremely resistant to cut and tear. The RDT-Master is the perfect fit for transporting extra-heavy loads in adverse condi-Continental RDT-Master is available in two different compi Cut resistant (CR) The new compound is designed for operations in aggressive terrain where resistance to cut and chip are predominately required. In operations with...

General RDT-Master Features (ST and CR) Deep tread Open shoulder design Wide tread with flat radius Polymer meshing system flexes over rough surface and obstacles keeping its structure after pressure release. High carcass protection against cuts and damage by foreign objects Perfect self-cleaning abilities Maximum traction Extraordinary resistance to surface stress. Enhanced traction

ContiMine™ Continental Underground Mining Solutions

Continental DumperMaster designed and developed for Articulated Dump Trucks. Continental DumperMaster Mine Trucks for underground mining and tunneling applications are mainly used for transporting ore to a conveyor belt or directly to the surface. Transport distances as well as the grades depend very much on the mine layout. To be most efficient in transporting ore, the machines with tramming capacities of 20 to 60 metric tons need tires with low heat build-up to travel longer distances at higher average speeds. Continental has developed a dedicated tire for underground Dump Trucks with a...

All Steel Radial Technology Tread groove design All steel radial technology Closed center blocks for maximum protection against penetration of the crown High self-cleaning ability and good traction in muddy and loose ground conditions Wide footprint for long service life and comfortable ride Groove spacing for minimized stone trapping and reduced rock penetrations, tearing, or cutting Carcass construction allows for high inflation pressure resulting in high load capacity Chunky tread lugs for high stability Wide bead construction for optimized rim fit and drive torque transmission

ContiCutCompress Safety in every situation The V.ply technology is partly based on a sharper angle of the carcass layers compared to conventional x-ply tires. This sharper angle reduces the friction between the tire components, which means less heat build-up and therefore lower tire rolling resistance and lower fuel consumption of the machine. The sharper angle of the carcass layers also means that the tread rubber gets slightly compressed, which is a major advantage in rough applications like underground mines where freshly blasted rocks are a constant danger to tires. The tread cuts that...

The breaker layers Up to four V.ply breaker layers not only provide additional rigidity to the tread area, but they also function as an excellent bonding element between the outer rubber tread and inner polymer structure. UVitiU.lW 'iiHStuspji The V.ply pattern Up to 20 layers of high-resistance polymer fiber are aligned in a specially angled V-pattern. This unique technology is inspired by racing tire design and means less inner movement for low rolling resistance. The V.ply technology allows for the design of exceptionally strong sidewalls. They provide low deflection for high damping,...

Continental ScoopMaster designed and developed for Loaders. Loaders or Scoops transport heavy loads of orebodies at low speeds over a relatively short distance to dump trucks or conveyor belts. They often face freshly blasted, sharp rocks in wet and abrasive conditions. Durability, traction, and even wear are the most important tire features. Continental’s ScoopMaster was developed to last in this extremely harsh underground mining environment. Premium quality tread and sidewall rubber compounds provide maximum resistance to rock cutting, penetrations, and tearing. The special V.ply...

Smooth extra deep tread design Maximum casing protection against punctures and impacts Wide contact area for reduced slippage, good traction, and even wear High wear volume for optimum mileage performance Tread wear indicator (TWI) Additional cut-resistant rubber rib to protect casing in sidewall area where sharp rocks can damage the tire Designed for easy and fast tread depth measurement Cut-resistant rubber compound for sidewall protection TWI shape prevents stone catching and carcass penetration
