Due to the difference in the scope of application of the rubber press-fit tire compared with other types of tires, the performance requirements of the rubber press-fit tire are also more stringent. Therefore, how to reduce the application damage of the rubber press-fit tire is closely related to the operation efficiency of the machinery. So, what targeted measures can we take?
During the operation, the damage of the rubber press fitting tire shall be reduced or the need to brake frequently shall be avoided as far as possible when driving, and the emergency brake shall be avoided, which can effectively reduce the tire wear. Many drivers do not choose the road surface and the corresponding driving speed due to their poor driving skills or lack of experience. They often make frequent emergency braking, emergency starting, and high-speed steering and turning. These actions will cause the tire to slip for a long time, aggravate the deformation of the tire body, cause severe friction between the tire and the ground, accelerate the tread wear, and affect the life of the tire, especially when the road condition is poor.
It is required that the unloading operator should properly reduce the speed according to the road conditions, turning radius, the size and length of the road slope, control the speed and prepare for braking when turning to meet, the vehicle downhill, crossing the intersection, and narrow road. The deceleration can avoid unilateral tire wear caused by the inertia force and centrifugal force. When the locomotive encounters foreign matters or broken glass that cannot be avoided during driving, do not brake hard, and slow down to avoid the glass fragments or foreign matters from increasing the pressure due to the sudden brake, and quickly penetrate the tire. In addition, slow down when driving on uneven roads or working on stubble ground such as crop ground.
For loading vehicles such as forklifts equipped with rubber press tyres, the locomotive load weight cannot be increased at will. When the load exceeds the maximum bearing capacity of the tyres, the tyre slip rate will increase, which will accelerate the wear of the tyres and shorten the service life of the tyres.
