Mobile Crane & Special Application Tyres
Soft-Ground & Sand Tyre
Wide, shallow-tread, low-pressure tyre for machines working on loose sand, peat or unstable fill, where flotation matters more than grip. Used on coastal, forestry and land-reclamation work.
Features
- Wide section with a shallow, closely spaced tread that floats on loose material instead of digging in.
- Low operating pressure with a casing designed to run deflected without sidewall damage.
- Rounded shoulder profile that reduces the tendency to cut a channel and bog down.
- Available in bias construction for machines that also cross rock or rubble.
- Not a road tyre: sustained tarmac running at flotation pressures wears it quickly.
Specifications
| Figure | Typical range | Unit | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Size designation | 21.00-25 / 700/50-26.5 | Wide fitments need arch and track clearance | |
| Tread pattern type | smooth sand / shallow flotation | Lugged tread excavates rather than floats | |
| Operating pressure range | 1.0 - 2.5 | bar | Flotation depends on running deflected |
| Ply rating | 16 PR - 28 PR | Carcass strength at low pressure | |
| Section width | 530 - 780 | mm | Footprint area determines ground pressure |
| Maximum road distance per shift | guidance per compound | km | Tarmac running wears a flotation tyre fast |
