Wheel loaders are a common sight everywhere from construction sites to waste/recycling centers to dairy farms. Matching the right tire to an application can save you money (and headaches)—and ultimately pay off in profits. For many wheel loader applications, the right tire is a radial.
Our recently released Galaxy Hippo radial builds on the benefits radial tires bring to loaders.
For example, the Hippo radial features a farm-inspired tread pattern featuring directional herringbone-shaped lugs and aggressive, buttressed shoulders which, in combination with its large radial footprint, provide maximum traction to wheel loaders operating in loose terrain, whether on a farm or construction site. It’s a high-traction alternative to the rock tread more common on most loader tires.
The Hippo radial isn’t just a soft-surface star, it’s also roadable. Thanks to lugs that form a steeply angled overlap, the Hippo radial provides more continuity than a traditional farm tread on the road. This enhances performance, reduces wear, and improves operator comfort on hard surfaces, such as those encountered when traveling between construction sites or feed lots.
Radial tires are built to last, and the Hippo radial is no exception. Its steel belts deliver exceptional puncture resistance which is bolstered by its special cut- and chip-resistant compound. It will also wear more evenly, due to its uniform footprint. Because of the all-steel casing and superior build of the Hippo radial, it’s also very retreadable.
In the end, the Hippo radial boosts the advantages already offered by radial tires to deliver a high-performance tire to loaders that work in soft and slippery applications but also spend some time on the road.
Like radials in general, the Galaxy Hippo radial can help boost productivity, lower costs, and improve productivity.
