teChnoloGy of MiChelin raDial CasinG tyre A tyre’s construction is the key to its performance, and outstanding tyre performance is a key competitive advantage for machines in the mechanical handling industry. Using radial tyres can make an outstanding contribution to the performance of industrial equipments. Composition The radial design combines metal or fabric plies, extending from one bead to the other, with a belt made of several steel plies designed to reinforce the crown of the tyre. a unique construction with numerous advantages The sidewalls and crown work independently: •...

CoMPetitor solUtions Bias or Cross Ply Construction The casing is made up of several criss-crossed plies. The crown and sidewalls are formed by the same ply structure. The tread is subjected to any flexing which occurs and this causes. • deformation of the tyre contact area on the ground • movement in the contact patch. The casing plies tend to “scissor” in relation to each other. Disadvantages: • accelerated wear • less grip • increased fuel consumption The Solid Tyre (PSS: Pneumatic Shaped Solid) Tread Rubber Interior Rubber Sidewall Protection Base Rubber Wire Core Reinforcement Rim...

General inforMation on MiChelin inDUstrial tyres Tubeless radial tyre MICHELIN is the first to offer a complete and innovatively designed range of tubeless tyres for mechanical handling. Michelin’s tubeless radial tyre ensures: • Safety: elimination of instant deflations following puncturing or failure of the inner tube. • Reliability: elimination of constant internal friction between the inner tube, flap, and tyre, causing wear to the tube. • Ease of tting and removal: the tube and flap are replaced by a tubeless bead seal, an ’O’-ring, or a rubber corner joint depending on the tyre size...

Classification of Michelin tyres The different tyre families There are different tyre families categorised by the aspect ratio H/S: (the ratio in % between the sidewall height and the tyre width). H= standard section height - S= standard section width 100 series or standard tyre (narrow base) Low profile tyres (65 to 95 series, 5 by 5) The H/S aspect ratio is approximately equal to 1,00. The H/S aspect ratio is less than 1 (0,65 in the followed example). The section width, given in inches, is a whole number e.g.: 12.00 R 20 or the section width, given in inches, is a whole number followed...

tUBeless BeaD seal a MiChelin innoVation for a tUBeless systeM in the inDUstrial WorlD The TBS is a special device allowing the fitment of tubeless tyres as tubeless on tube-type rims. It consists of a ring of special rubber, which is placed inside the tyre, and fits between the tyre beads. It ensures the airtightness of the wheel and tyre assembly. Tubeless bead seal The choice of TBS depends on the width of the rim on which the tyre is to be fitted. The allowed rim width(s) are indicated on each tubeless bead seal. TBS fitted on wheels whose width is less than 6 inches have a chimney...
