Real Field Application Case (Indonesia Nickel Mine Verified)

Customer Background

A large nickel processing and mining contractor in Indonesia operates multiple wheel loaders for ore transportation and material handling.

Before working with us, the customer experienced serious tire reliability issues with a previous supplier.

According to the customer's damage report:

Total failed tires: 13 pcs

Daily operation: Single shift, approximately 8 hours per day

Most tire failures occurred within only 7–14 days

The damaged tires showed identical failure symptoms:

Severe cracking

Excessive heat generation

Smoke emission during operation

The service life of the previous tires was far below the customer's expectations, resulting in high maintenance costs and frequent downtime.

Site Working Environment

The application environment is extremely demanding and places heavy stress on loader tires.

Ore Storage Area

The wheel loaders transport and handle large quantities of nickel ore and processed materials throughout the facility.

The materials are heavy, abrasive, and continuously loaded and unloaded during operation.

Severe Ground Conditions

The operating surface includes:

Sharp crushed rocks

Uneven mining roads

Loose stone debris

Muddy and wet areas

High-impact loading zones

These conditions create significant risks of:

Tire cuts

Sidewall damage

Excessive tread wear

Heat accumulation

Operating Schedule

Daily working schedule:

07:00 – 11:00 Working

11:00 – 13:00 Break

13:00 – 17:00 Working

Total operating time:

Approximately 8 hours per day

Continuous heavy-duty loading and transportation tasks

Challenge

The customer needed a tire solution capable of solving the recurring issues experienced with the previous supplier's tires.

Main challenges included:

Premature tire cracking

Excessive heat build-up

Smoke generation during operation

Frequent tire replacement

Equipment downtime

High maintenance costs

The customer required a more reliable solution suitable for harsh nickel mining conditions.
