MINING is an everchanging and demanding industry. Optimizing production and reducing downtime is critical. Preshift inspections with specific attention to the tires will lead to increased uptime and a safer work environment for all. Always identify &report any abnomal tire, wheel or site conditions in order to maximize safety,productivity & performance at your mine site.

AIR PRESSURE

• Air Pressure is the most critical factor for tire performance

• Advise immediately of any tire with low air pressure

• Optimal PSI = Optimal Wear

• Aim to hit target loads

• Keep loads centered

• Watch for spillage

TIRE CONDITIONS & ROAD MAINTENANCE

• Watch for deep cuts to the steel, bubbles in the sidewall & severe tread damage

• Report any fluid leaking on a tire (such as oil, grease & hydraulic fluid)

DUMP & LOAD AREA

• Keep pit floors & dump areas clean

• Watch for rocks & spillage

• Get support equipment when necessary
