Innovative solutions
to reduce
operating costs
V ehicles are constantly evolving and

becoming more diversified. Operating
conditions vary greatly from one site
to another. Recognising these facts, Michelin
provides tyres that are specially adapted to
each kind of situation and are, therefore
the most efficient choice.
With a comprehensive range Michelin
can equip all vehicles, used in all types of
conditions, even the most extreme.
With their extensive experience and expertise,
the Michelin technical teams and distributors
contribute to increase the productivity
levels of tyres even further.
I n underground or surface mines,

on construction sites, in quarries, ports,
distribution centres and warehouses Michelin
tyres cover millions of kilometres and
transport millions of tons of ore, materials
and equipment.
In all these activities, Michelin’s tyre solutions
and services greatly contribute to reducing
customers’ operating costs and improving
the safety of their operations.
I ncreasing the loads transported and

the speed of work cycles, optimising service
life, improving handling and manoeuvrability,
making the working conditions of operators
more safe and comfortable – these are the
objectives Michelin’s research teams are
continually pursuing with a constant view
to improving productivity
and profitability for customers.

weighs 5.3 kg and the biggest weighs 5,400 kg,
that is to say a thousand times heavier.
Michelin’s range includes 45 tread pattern designs
and 110 tyre sizes.
Michelin’s radial ply casings are robust, designed

to last and may be retreaded. To increase the service
life of the tyres, Michelin also produces its own
repair products.

Moreover, provisioning for tyres
always represents a sizeable budget.
Applying a few simple rules allows
tyres to be used to their full potential,
leading to increased productivity and
reduced operating costs on a site.
These rules will be examined in this

about the condition of the
casing, and its suitability for repair or
retreading, the interior of the tyre
must also be checked.

Necessary precautions would be happy to present it to you.
Protective equipment
During tyre-handling operations, it is
essential to wear gloves, protective
shoes and a hard hat.
During the inspection, the operator
should also wear protective glasses.
If it is necessary to cut a tyre, it is advi-
sable to wear a leather apron.
Securing
During tyre-handling operations and
the inspection, the operator must
ensure that the tyres are properly
secured, and correct if necessary, every
time the tyre is turned around or over.
Recommendation:
For sizes smaller than 21.00 R 25, it is
preferable to carry out the inspection
with the tyre in a vertical position and
wedge it to prevent it rolling.
For larger sizes, the inspection can
be carried out with the tyre lying
horizontally on the ground.

Glossary
Bead seat band (cf. “Mounting & demounting tyres”):

detachable metal part of a rim in one piece rim
which locates the bead of the tyre on the rim.
Bouncing (cf. “Ballasting the tyres”): regular verti-

cal movement to which a vehicle is subjected when
travelling on a badly maintained road (corrugations).
Brushed out (cf. “Tyre repairs”): relates to brushing out.
Brushing out (cf. “Tyre repairs”): cleaning of a gouge on a tyre, enabling

the removal of all damaged parts (wire, rubber, etc).
Camber (cf. “Factors affecting tyre wear life”):

- Applie to wheel: The alignment of the wheels of a motor vehicle closer together at bottom
than at the top.
- Applie to track: A slope in the turn of a road or track; the outside is higher than the inside
in order to reduce the effects of centrifugal force.
Carding (cf. “Tyre retreading & recycling”): operation consisting of preparing the surface of a tread
to facilitate penetration and sticking of the rubber during bonding.
Carding may be performed either by using a rotating tool called a carding machine or by various
abrasive processes.
Chamfer/starting chamfer (cf. “Mounting & demounting tyres”): a chamfer is a bevelled cut made
on the bead seat band to remove any sharp edges of a component and provide a lead-in to facili-
tate assembly.
Crosslinking (cf. “Tyre retreading & recycling - p.112”): formation of additional links between
chains of atoms upon heating.
Cutting (cf. “Tyre inflation”): small cuts.
Cycle (cf. “The different machines and their applications”): the various phases performed by a
dump truck during a loading / unloading operation.
A cycle is composed of 4 phases:
- Loading
- Loaded journey to discharge point
- Unloading
- Empty return journey
124
Glossary
Flotation (cf. “The different machines and their applications” - “Tyre use” - “Factors affecting tyre
wear life” - “Tyre inflation”): a tyre’s ability to avoid becoming bogged down or ability to move over
a natural surface without sinking in too deeply. Flotation is aided by low tyre inflation pressure.
Hairline crack (cf. “Mounting & demounting tyres”): fine crack found on the surface of Metallic
parts (e.g.brake drum, brake disc or wheel) and which grow with thermal or mechanical stress.
Keying (cf. “Mounting & demounting tyres”): device used to prevent rotation between loose rim parts.
Locking key (cf. “Mounting & demounting tyres”): metal piece, generally cross-shaped, inserted into
a space in the flange to prevent it turning in relation to the rim base.
Locking link (cf. “Mounting & demounting tyres”): metal

strut placed between the 2 sections of an articulated
machine to immobilise it.
Locking ring (cf. “Mounting & demounting tyres”): open

metal ring, used to ensure all parts of the assembly remain
5 PIECES RIM 3 PIECES RIM
in place on the rim.
O-ring seal (cf. “Mounting & demounting tyres”): a ring of rubber, circular in cross-section, gene-
rally made by pressure moulding, able to ensure a static as well as a dynamic seal between two
cylindrical surfaces.
Patch (cf. “Tyre repairs”): repair part reinforced by one or more layers of reinforcement and desi-
gned to be bonded to the inside of a damaged tyre.
Safety stand (cf. “Mounting & demounting tyres - p.67”): metal support, generally with three feet,
used for supporting a raised vehicle.
Traction (cf. “The different machines and their applications” - “Tyre use” - “Factors affecting tyre
wear life” - “Tyre inflation” - “Ballasting the tyres”): a tyre’s ability to transmit tractive effort from
the machine to the ground.
Valve base (cf. “Mounting & demounting tyres”): piece of rubber fixed to the rim or inner tube to
support the valve.
Wheel fixing Lugs (cf. “Mounting & demounting tyres”): lugs permanently fixed to the rim that
allows the assembly to be fixed to the hub.

MARKINGS AND SIZE DESIGNATIONS
The different earthmover tyre families

There are 3 major earthmover tyre families identificated by the aspect ratio H/S:
(The ratio between the sidewall height and the tyre width).
100 series or standard tyre (narrow base)

The H/S aspect ratio is approximately equal to 1,00
The section width, given in inches, is a whole number.
e.g.: 18.00 R 33
80 series or wide base

The section width, given in inches, is a whole number
followed by a fraction.
e.g.: 20.5 R 25
or the section width is given in inches followed by the number 80
e.g.: 59/80 R 63
low profile tyres (série < 80)
70 series
70 The H/S aspect ratio is approximately equal to 0,70
The section width is given in millimeters followed by the number 70.
e.g.: 705/70 R 25
65 series
The section width is given in inches or in millimeters
lowed by the number 65.
e.g.: 35/65 R 33 750/65 R 25
Several types of tread compounds

Type A4: Particularly resistant to cuts, tread tearing and abrasion on very rough surfaces.
Type A: Particularly resistant to cuts, tread tearing and abrasion at average speeds which are higher than those
of the application for A4 above.
Type B4: Compromise solution between abrasion resistance and average speed on rough surfaces.
(available in sizes 49 inch and above)
Type B: Higher resistance to internal heat generation on surfaces which are not very rough.
Type C4: For running on long cycles at high speeds on well maintained roads.
Type C: Very high resistance to high average speeds on long cycles run on well maintained roads.

Different tread depths
There are 4 earthmover tyre families characterized by their different tread depth (or tread height) and which are chosen as a function
of their use and the ground types.

Note that public works tyres and earthmover tyres have a Load Index / Speed Symbol (see example)
or one or several stars (1* for working tyres, 2* or 3* for transport tyres).
The type of tread rubber (A, A4, B, B4, C, C4) and the tread depth (SUPER, D1, D2) may also be shown.
6 LOAD INDEX - SPEED SYMBOL
Some tyres bear a load index and a speed symbol.

The LOAD INDEX is a numerical code associated with the maximum load a tyre can carry
at the speed corresponding to its speed symbol, under specified conditions.
The SPEED SYMBOL indicates the speed at which the tyre can carry a load corresponding to its load index,
under specified conditions.

12 CHARACTERISTICS OF EARTHMOVER AND WORKING TYRES
Explanation of different measurements
e = maximum overall section width section width of the rim

D = external tyre diameter (R x 2)
Ø = nominal bead seat diameter rim diameter
S = section width on measuring rim (this rim is indicated in bold)
E = minimum dual spacing (on measuring rim)
H = section height
R = free radius (2R = D)
R’ = static loaded radius
CdR = rolling circumference
Tread deep = tyre tread depth in mm
(rubber depth that is possible to use without risk)
Cap = Interior capacity of the tyre (to calculate the nitogen
quantity when inflated with nitrogen, or the liquid
quantity when filled
Note: The values of R’ and rolling circumference given for our tyres, on pages 14 to 77 apply to nominal conditions of speed and pressure
(corresponding to the grey square of the load data).
The measurment speeds are: - 10 km/h for working machines (6 mph)

- 50 km/h for transport machines (30 mph)
- 70 km/h for highway service (40 mph)
The dimensions shown in this documentation correspond with that indicated above and follow the existing standards (E.T.R.T.O. , T.R.A. ,
J.A.T.M.A.). The dimensionnal data is given for information purpose only and may change. It cannot be used for any legal purposes.
The standardized dimensions shown are the ”maximum in service”.
How to read the Load / Pressure schedule

Remember: The correct pressure of the machine (on a site and for a job) depend of the working conditions and use, and must
be determined on the site by Michelin technicians (by calculation with machine technical information, or by weight of the
Machines axel.
In order to obtain the optimal performance from tyres, it is advised that:

- the machine be weighed under working loads
- the maximum distance allowed per hour for the tyre is not exceeded
Maximum distance limit

This is the maximum distance allowed in one hour - if it is exceeded, the tyre is no longer operating under optimum conditions.
It is also a function of the load and pressure for the tyre for operating under economic conditions.
- a limit on the load to obtain the best wear performance
- a limit on the pressure to obtain the best damage resistance (cuts, shocks, wear, etc)
The economic load and pressure limits are shown highlighted in the load/pressure schedules
Generally, these are the nominal conditions for the tyre as defined in International Standards.
It is possible to use our tyres outside of the economic limits, so long as the maximum values indicated
in the load/pressure tables are not exceeded. However, using the tyres beyond their economic
load values is likely to result in reduction of life and damage resistance.
CHARACTERISTICS OF EARTHMOVER AND WORKING TYRES 13
Explanation of the different schedules
Loaders: Front Tipping This schedule applies when the static tipping load (machine manufacturer’s data) is used.
Front Laden This schedule is used when the front axle load is known (by weighing).
It corresponds to the 10 km/h schedule for loaders as s
in the International Standards.
Rear Unladen This schedule is used when the rear axle load is known (by weighing).
Compactors: 10 and 15 km/h These schedules are given as a function of the working speed of the machine. In all cases,
follow the recommendations of the machine manufacturer (pressure usually given in a table

Mine Transport: Front and Rear This schedule is used when the load on each axle of the machine is known
(by weighing or machine manufacturer’s data).
Skid Steer and Front and Rear This schedule is used when the load on each axle
Compact Loaders of the machine is known (by weighing or machine manufacturer’s data).
Backhoe Loaders: 10 km/h This schedule is used for the front axle having weighed the machine
20, 30, 40 km/h with the front bucket full. This schedule is used for the rear axle having weighed
the machine, with the front bucket empty, as a function of the maximum speed of the machi-
ne.
Excavators: 10,20,30 These schedules are used as a function of the maximum speed of the machine having wei-
ghed and 40 km/h each axle.
Graders: Front and Rear This schedule is used when the load on each axle of the machine is known
(by weighing or machine manufacturer’s data).
Transport: standard This schedule is used when travelling at maximum speed, between 30 and 60 km/h.
The nominal (or economic) tyre load is highlighted in the tables and corresponds
to the “50 km/h Transport” schedule.
In the case of slow speed (<30 km/h) use, or where the cycle length is short (<3 km), tyre pressures may be reduced
by up to 10% for the given load in order to improve life and damage resistance.
In the case of increased dynamic load (downhill laden, heavy braking, tight bends, etc), it is recommended that front tyre pressures
on rigid dump trucks and scrapers be increased by 10% so long as the maximum pressure indicated in the tables is not exceeded.
For travel speeds in excess of 60 km/h, or where the cycle length is greater than 20 km, the tyre is subjected to higher dynamic loading.
In this case, the maximum economic tyre load must be reduced by 12% on the same load/pressure schedule.
Exceeding this value is likely to result in reduction in tyre life and damage resistance.
Example: for the 24.00 R 49, the nominal condition for standard is 21800 kg at 6,5 bar.
At high speed, for optimal performance, the economic load would be 19200 kg at 5,5 bar.

Tube markings.
example: ex. 1: 24/25 V AM ex. 2: 25 YB AM
The first two numbers indicate the bead seat (rim) diameter of the tyre into which the tube can be fitted.
(in the first example, the tube may be fitted in 24 and 25 inch tyres. In the second example, the tube may be fitted only in 25 inch tyres.)
The first letter corresponds to the section width of the tube (internal width of the tyre).
This ranges from A to Z, with A being the smallest, and Z the largest.
In the examples above, V and Y indicate that the tubes are designed for fitting into tyres of relatively large section width.
Sometimes, a second letter provides additional information example 2: B, E, F and H indicate intermediate widths.
The third and fourth letters are an indication of the valve type.
AM indicates that the tube is fitted with an American valve base, example: R1946 (TRA SP4000) and a valve stem R1837 (TRJ 650).
D would indicate that the valve is offset. T would indicate a tractor tube fitted with an air-water valve, ex. type TR 218A.
Explanation on valves and valve bases is given on subsequent pages.
Flap markings
example: 14-24/25
The first number indicates the total width of the flap (includes height of edges), expressed in either mm or in inches.
In the example above, the width of the flap is 14 inches.
The second number indicates the rim diameter, or the tyre bead seat (rim) diameter in inches, with which the flap is to be used.
In this example, the flap may be used with 24 and 25 inch tyres.
Additional letters may be used to provide supplementary information.
For example, the significance of different letters is as follows: L - the edges are tapered,
B - the flap has a reinforcing boss around the valve position, S - the flap is reinforced, D - offset hole for valve.

94 TYRES FOR TRANSPORT MACHINES PROCEDURE
FOR DETERMINING INFLATION PRESSURES
- determine the maximum load on each tyre by weighing.
This is the only way that tyre pressures can be set accurately for optimum performance.
- Use the tables ”Tyre loads and pressures” for TRANSPORT in the earthmover data book.
standard: for machines with a maximum speed between 30 and 60 km/h (19 and 37 mph).
Michelin X-QUARRY: when fitted with 16.00 R 25 X QUARRY the distance run must not exceed 16 km (10 miles) in one hour.
When fitted with 18.00 R 33, 21.00 R 35 and 24.00 R 35 X QUARRY the distance run must not exceed
14km (9 mph) in one hour.
If the machines are to be used under different speeds or conditions, apply the appropriate load/pressure schedule (see page 17).
If it is not possible to weigh the machine determine the maximum load per tyre on each axle by calculation
or by using the machine manufacturer’s data.
I. RIGID DUMPERS
The following data needs to be established.
- The Gross Vehicle Weight (total machine weight in the laden condition).
- The percentage load distribution by axle.
The load per axle is calculated and divided by the number
of tyres to give the tyre load.
II. ARTICULATED DUMPERS, DUMP TRUCKS, BOTTOM DUMPS

DETERMINATION OF INFLATION PRESSURES
- determine the total weight of the machine,
- by using the machine manufacturer’s data, or
- by weighing each axle.
- calculate the load per tyre (in the case of a crane, divide the total weight by the number of axles, and divide by 2).
Take into account any axle overload (in the case of cranes, due to counter weights).
- use the tables “Tyre loads and pressures” for CRANES on pages 66 to 77 to determine the tyre pressures.
- in the case of military vehicles, lower pressures can be used provided the speed is modulated accordingly.

TYRES FOR USE IN DESERT CONDITIONS
These tyres are used on machines that are operated in special conditions, such as sand, desert regions, etc.
X “RIB”
This tyre is especially suitable for sandy ground where the going is really difficult.

- 21.00 R 25 TL
96 TYRES FOR USE IN DESERT CONDITIONS
The tread
The tyre tread is exceptionally broad and has been designed for use in sand. With its track-laying action, free from unwanted movement
within the tyre’s contact area with the ground, the top layer of sand or soil is not broken up. As a result the grip is improved and digging
in of the tyre is minimised.
The casing
The casing has been designed to withstand heavy loads at the relatively low pressure required for work on yielding surfaces.
Low pressures are needed to obtain the largest possible area of tyre contact with the ground and the lowest possible ground
contact pressure. The flexible casing minimizes vibration and the damage which might be caused by driving on washboard
(corrugated) surfaces or bad tracks and is particularly resistant to this type of stress.
This type of casing allows relatively high speeds on roads.
Tyre loads given for Michelin XS and Michelin X “RIB”

These tyres have two maximum loads which depend upon service conditions:
- Firstly, there is a load limit shown in bold type for tough-going sand and track conditions. (in the load/pressure schedule on page 63)
Numerous tests in desert conditions have confirmed that these loads must not be exceeded if optimum tyre performance is
to be maintained. However, should there be no obstacles to be overcome on rough terrain, this limit can be increased
to the maximum “Road” load, provided that the inflation pressure is raised at the same time, even though track speed conditions remain
the same.
- Secondly, there is a higher load limit for road service where grip or flotation is not an issue.
Inflation pressure
Three different pressures are indicated. They depend upon the load per axle and working conditions:
- Road:
These pressures are to be applied when the vehicle runs on good roads. This means asphalt or compacted surfaces.
For these conditions the pressures have been calculated for a maximum speed of:
- 65 km/h (40 mph) for the sizes 18.00 R 25 XS TL, 21.00 R 25 XS TL and 21.00 R 25 X RIB TL
- 80 km/h (50 mph) for the sizes 525/65 R 20.5 XS TL, 24 R 20.5 XS TL, 24 R 21 X RIB TL, 14.00 R 24 XS.
- Track:
These pressures are recommended for driving on bad roads, washboard (corrugated) and gravel or desert surfaces.
Speed must not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph). At these pressures the XS or X RIB are able to traverse the majority of sand banks.
- Sand:
Wherever digging in and grip become major hazards, use these pressures.
Speed must not exceed 15 km/h (10 mph) After using “sand” pressures, they must be adjusted to the correct pressure
for subsequent conditions of use (road or track).
DETERMINING INFLATION PRESSURES FOR SURFACE LOADERS
IN REHANDLING, PRODUCTION, EXTRACTION AND FACE WORK
97
HOW TO DETERMINE INFLATION PRESSURES
There are two ways of determining tyre pressures on loaders but the method of weighing each axle under actual work
conditions is more accurate.
1 - By weighing the machine axles

- use the tables “Tyre loads and pressures” for LOADERS to determine the pressure (on pages 14 to 61).
Front laxle: for the laden front axle. (bucket full)
Rear axle: for the unladen rear axle. (bucket empty)
2 - By calculation, using the machine manufacturer’s data

When the machine is loading with the bucket penetrating into the material, the loader is often at the point of tipping.
It is in this state that the front tyres are most heavily laden.
- determine the maximum load / tyre on the front and rear axles.
Front Axle
The load on the front axle is equal to the total unladen weight of the machine
+ the tipping load. (tipping load is shown in machine manufacturer’s data)
- use the tables “Tyre loads and pressures” for LOADERS in the earthmover data book under the heading:
FRONT: “tipping load” (on pages 14 to 61)
Rear Axle (bucket empty)

- use either the unladen rear axle load given by the machine manufacturer, or
- take 60% of the unladen weight of the machine (to have a margin of safety).
By calculation: Rear Axle Load = STL x I
L
- use the tables “Tyre loads and pressures” for LOADERS in the earthmover data book under the heading:
REAR: ”unladen” (on pages 14 to 61)
Example calculation:
For a loader with the following characteristics:
- Tyre equipment: 750/65 R 25 XLD TL *
- Unladen weights: Front: 10302 kg (22715 lb) (1)

Rear: 15452 kg (34073 lb) (2)
Total: 25754 kg (56788 lb) (3)
- Straight line tipping load: 18224 kg (40184 lb) (4)
- Maximum axle load, Front: - Maximum axle load, Rear:

(3) + (4) = 43978 kg (96972 lb), (2) = 15452 kg (34073 lb),
or: 21989 kg (48486 lb) per tyre or: 7726 kg (17038 lb) per tyre
- Base pressures (as per table on page 39).

Front = 5,0 bar (73 psi)
Rear = 2,5 bar (36 psi)
IMPORTANT
The rule to determine pressures by calculation applies to loaders of standard specification and which have not been modified for
special use. The calculated pressures are the minimum for the loads and may be increased to obtain a desired level of handling, or
for particular applications, (but must remain within the published load/pressure schedule for the tyre size and type).In case of long
travel distances (ex: delivery of new machine, transfer from one site to another, etc.), specific precautions need to be taken.
Please contact Michelin Earthmover Department for advice in such cases.
98 TYRES FOR WHEEL/DOZERS
HOW TO CALCULATE INFLATION PRESSURES

Depending on the type of work, tyres on a dozer are subjected to different types of loading.
- the load on the Front Axle is maximum when loading (pushing) a scraper.
- the load on the Rear axle is maximum when dozing or while stockpiling.
From a practical viewpoint, the maximum load on either of the two axles is approximately
equal to 2/3 of the machine weight.
Using this method to determine the load on each tyre Use the tables “Tyre loads and pressures”
for LOADERS for the Rear unladen (see pages 14 to 61).
COMPACT LOADERS, BACKHOE LOADERS AND TELESCOPIC HANDLERS

HOW TO DETERMINE INFLATION PRESSURES
Compact Loaders
By weighing the machine axles.
This is the only way whereby tyre pressures can be set accurately for optimum performance.
- determine the maximum load on each tyre on the front and rear axles.
Front axle
The front axle should be weighed with the bucket full and in the transport position.
- use the tables ”Tyre loads and pressures” for LOADER or BACKHOE LOADERS (see pages 14 to 49)
· use the 10 km/h schedule for the front axle laden (BACKHOE LOADERS)
· use the Front laden schedule for the front axle laden (LOADER)
Rear axle (bucket empty)

The rear axle should be weighed with the bucket empty and in the transport position.
- use the tables “Tyre loads and pressures” for LOADER or BACKHOE LOADERS (see pages 14 to 49)
· use the load schedule that corresponds to the maximum speed for the rear axle unladen (20, 30 or 40 km/h) (BACKHOE LOADERS)
· use the Rear unladen schedule for the rear axle laden (LOADER)
TYRES FOR WORKING MACHINES COMPACT LOADERS, BACKHOE
LOADERS AND TELESCOPIC HANDLERSFITTED WITH INDUSTRIAL TYRES
99
Backhoe Loaders
- determine the maximum load on each tyre on the front and rear axles.
Front axle - the front axle should be weighed with the bucket full and in the transport position.
· use the 10 km/h schedule for the front axle laden (BACKHOE LOADERS)
· use the Front laden schedule for the front axle laden (LOADER)
Rear axle (bucket empty) - the rear axle should be weighed with the bucket empty and in the transport position.
· use the load schedule that corresponds to the maximum speed for the rear axle unladen (20, 30 or 40 km/h) (BACKHOE LOADERS)
· use the Rear unladen schedule for the rear axle laden (LOADER)
Note: There are two types of Backhoe loaders.
- “SIDE-SHIFT”
- the backhoe can be slided along the transversal axis on which it is mounted.
- in the transport position, the load across the rear axle is well distributed.
- “CENTRE POST”
- the backhoe is fixed at the centre, between the two rear wheels;
in the transport position the centre of gravity of the rear axle is offset.
This results in one of the rear tyres being more heavily loaded and the pressure
in it should be adjusted to correspond to the load.
Telescopic Handlers
In the case of telescopic handlers the pressures recommended by the machine manufacturer should be used.
These pressures are determined by the machine manufacturer after conducting “Tilt Tests” for stability.
In the absence of machine manufacturer’s recommendation, apply the following pressures.
For earthmover tyres:

- use the pressure corresponding to the maximum normalised load (highlighted) as shown in the tables
“Tyre loads and pressures” for LOADERS front laden for both front and rear tyres. (see pages 14 to 49)
For agricultural tyres:

- use the pressure corresponding to the maximum load at 10 km/h as shown in the tables “Tyre loads and pressures”
for BACKHOE LOADERS for both front and rear tyres. (see pages 14 to 49)
TYRES FOR GRADERS
Determination of inflation pressures

As a general rule, the inflation pressure must never be lower than 2 bar (29 psi)
Should there be obvious overload or a special need for flotation, or if in doubt:
- weigh the machine to find out the load on each axle or use the loads given by the machine manufacturer.
- use the tables “Tyre loads and pressure” for GRADERS (see pages 14 to 45).
For special work (example: sloping embankments), the inflation pressure should never be lower than 2.5 bar (36psi).

INFLATION PRESSURES
If it is not possible to weigh the machine, calculate the load on each axle as follows:
1. Calculating the Rear axle load (unladen)

Rear axle load = Static Tipping Load x (l/L)
2. Calculating the Front axle load (laden)

Front axle load = Payload + Total machine weight (shipping weight) - 1/2 Rear axle load
- use the tables “Tyre loads and pressures for” SKID STEER MACHINES AND COMPACT LOADERS
and apply the “load and carry schedule” (see pages 14 to 17).
- All tyres are inflated to the same pressure, corresponding to the most heavily laden tyre, to ensure good handling.

For single fitment on wheeled excavators with stabilisers:
· wide, long-lasting tread design.
· deep tread for excellent traction.
· casing resistant to cuts and shocks.
· eliminates stone-trapping that can occur on dual fitment
· reduces mud deposits on the highway.
Sizes avalaible (see characteristics on pages 16 to 23).

- 18 R 19.5 * - 15 R 22.5 * - 18 R 22.5 *
N.B. Michelin can also offer fitments for machines fitted with truck size tyres.

INFLATION PRESSURES
- determine the maximum load on each tyre. This is the only way whereby tyre pressures can be set accurately
for optimum performance.
- use the tables “Tyre loads and pressures” for WHEELED EXCAVATORS - 30 km/h for site and for highway service (see pages 16 to 23)
At 10 km/h (6 mph) rough terrain pressures can be used where flotation/traction is a requirement.
However, the tyre pressures must be raised when the machine travels on the highway.
TYRES FOR COMPACTORS 101
X LC
These tyres are designed for use on compactors that use slick tyres.
· They offer excellent performance on hot road surfaces (virtually eliminates material sticking to the tread),
· They have tread wear indicators.
The choice of tyre and its working pressure depends on the material to be compacted, the type of work
to be carried out and the operating speed.
Please refer to the information and operating guidelines supplied by the machine manufacturer and use the
tables “Tyre loads and pressures” for COMPACTORS (pages 14 to 27).
MACHINES FOR ROADBUILDING

(PLANERS, STABILISER MIXER, PAVERS)
There are no tyres made specifically for this type of machine.

Tyres should be chosen according to their average speed capabilities in relation to those of the machine and their load capacity.
All these machines operate at 2 speeds: a “transport” or travelling speed and a “work” speed.
When moving at their “transport” speed, (up to 25km/h), the weight carried by the tyres is that of the machine alone
and they are therefore not overloaded.
Once the load per tyre has been determined, refer to the load/pressure table which corresponds best to the speed
at which the selected tyre is to be used.
example: - for a 14.00 R 24 XGLA2,
at a speed of 25 km/h, use the load/pressure table for ”Graders”,
at a speed of 10 km/h, use the load/pressure table for ”Loaders, front laden”.
- for a 18.00 R 25 XVC, use the load/pressure table for “Cranes” at the speed required.
When travelling at their “work” speed, (between 1 to 3km/h), the total weight carried by the tyres includes that of the load as well as the
machine itself. Once the load per tyre has been determined, refer to the load/pressure table which corresponds best to the speed at which
the selected tyre is to be used.
example: - for a 14.00 R 24 XGLA2,
use the load/pressure table for “Loaders front tipping”.
- for a 18.00 R 25 XVC,
load/pressure table for “Cranes” at 2 or 5km/h.
In each case, once the load per tyre has been determined, apply the higher pressure.
In most cases this will be the pressure recommended at “transport” speed.
CALCULATING THE LOAD PER TYRE

If the load per axle is not known (no machine manufacturer’s information available and no possibility of a physical weighing) follow the
instructions below
Travelling machines
For cold Planers and Stabiliser Mixers: load per axle on pneumatic tyres = 50% of machine weight.
For Pavers: load per axle on pneumatic tyres = 80% of machine weight / number of axles.
Loaded/working machines
For cold Planers and Stabiliser Mixers: load per axle = 50% of machine weight + payload.
For Pavers: load per axle on pneumatic tyres = 30% (machine weight+ maximum load of the container bin) / number of axles.
102 TYRES FOR UNDERGROUND MINES
PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINING PRESSURES
I - Transport machines
- determine the maximum load on each tyre of each axle, with the machine loaded.
- by calculation, using the machine manufacturer’s data, or
- by weighing each tyre position with the machine loaded.
- use the tables “Tyre loads and pressures” for MINE TRANSPORT on pages 14 to 51.
II - Loaders
There are two methods of determining pressures for a loader.
1 - by weighing the axles
- determine the maximum load on each tyre of each axle by weighing.

- use the tables “Tyre loads and pressures” for LOADERS (see pages 14 to 51).
Loader Front “weighed” for the Front axle (bucket full)
Loader Rear “unladen” for the Rear axle (bucket empty)
2 - by calculation, using the machine manufacturer’s data.
The load distribution on the front axle of an underground loader is different to that of a surface loader.
The rules for calculating pressures for surface loaders are not applicable.
- determine the maximum load per tyre for each axle.
Front axle (bucket loaded)
Use the loads for the Front axle given by the machine manufacturer.
- use the tables “Tyre loads and pressures” for LOADERS”

Loaders Front “weighed” (see pages 14 to 51).
Rear axle (unladen)
Use the rear axle loads given by the machine manufacturer.
- use the tables “Tyre loads and pressures” for LOADERS

Loaders Rear “unladen” (see pages 14 to 51).
SELECTING THE CORRECT TYRES FOR TRANSPORT MACHINES:
MAIN FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED AND THE TKPH (TMPH) METHOD
103
Factors to be considered when selecting the most appropriate tyre:
The machine - the tyre size/s,

- the loads the tyres have to carry (laden and unladen).
The site - type of surface, condition and profile of haul-roads,
- type and condition of loading and tipping areas.
Machine operation on the site - length of the cycle (laden trip / unladen trip),
- maximum number of cycles during a working period or shift,
- duration of the working period or shift.
Problems that may arise - how does the machine / tyre combination behave? (for example, traction).
Tyre behaviour - how are the tyres wearing?
- what are the main reasons for removing a tyre from service?
- are there sidewall or tread problems?
Choice of the correct tyre This will depend on:
- the fitment possibilities offered by the machine manufacturer,
- the service conditions on the site. Factors such as load, speed,
surface conditions, etc. must be considered.
TKPH (TMPH) definition

The TKPH (Ton Kilometre Per Hour) or TMPH (Ton Mile Per Hour) is an expression of the working capacity of a tyre.
The TKPH (TMPH) is a function of the maximum allowed internal operating temperature of a tyre.
1 - Tyre TKPH (TKPHp) or TyreTMPH (TMPHp)

A tyre’s TKPH (TMPH) depends on its design and varies according to size and type.
TKPH (TMPH) values are given along with other Michelin tyre characteristics on pages 14 to 60.
It is a function of load and the number of kilometres (miles) covered per hour at an ambient temperature of 38° C (100° F).
The formula to convert a TKPH rating to a TMPH rating is: TMPH = TKPH x 0,685
TMPH calculation is based on the “short ton” which corresponds to 2000 lbs or 907 kg.
2 - Basic site TKPH or TMPH

This value reflects the specific requirements of a site and can be obtained by using the following formula:
Basic site TKPH (basic site TMPH) = Qm x Vm where Qm = average load per tyre
Vm = average speed on 1 cycle, in km (or miles) per hour
a) - Average load per tyre (Qm)

This is obtained using the formula: Qm = Qc + Qv
2
where Qc = is the load per tyre in tonne (TKPH), or in short ton (TMPH), on a laden vehicle.
Qv = is the load per tyre in tonne (TKPH), or in short ton (TMPH), on an unladen vehicle.
The Qm calculation should theoretically be made for each tyre. However, in practice, specific tyre loads are not normally available and the-
refore this leads to the assumption that each tyre on the same axle carries an equal load. When calculating the average load per tyre on
the front and the rear axles, the greatest value of Qm shall be used in TKPH (TMPH) calculation.
In most cases, on two-axles dumpers, the distribution of the total load of the loaded vehicle (unloaded weight + payload) corresponds to
33.3 % on the front axle (single tyres) and 66.7 % on the rear axle (twinned tyres). When unladen, the front axle is almost always the
heaviest. Thus, the maximum Qm, will nearly always be on the front axle.
Caution: ensure that load distribution Front/Rear is even
Of course, the analysis of the site (or at least, the collected information) weighings and machine characteristics will provide
the information to define and check the load per tyre.
104 SELECTING THE CORRECT TYRES FOR TRANSPORT MACHINES:
b) - The number of km (or number of miles) covered on the refernce cycle:

This is obtained by using the relationship: Vm = L
H
where L = is the cycle length in kilometre (TKPH), or in miles (TMPH).
The reference cycle must be the one with the highest average speed.
H = is the duration of cycle in hour.
For cycle < 5 km (3 miles) don’t calculate the TKPH (TMPH) but consider the number of kilometers (miles)
allowed in one hour (see technical characteristics pages 14 to 60).
3 - Real site TKPH or real site TMPH

The Qm x Vm formula is used to calculate the basic site TKPH (or TMPH).
To obtain the real site TKPH (or TMPH), two more factors must be taken into account:
- the length of cycles exceeding 5 kilometres (or 3 miles)
- the ambient temperature.
a) - Cycle length - K1 coefficient

For cycle length exceeding 5 kilometres (or 3 miles) apply to the basic site TKPH (or basic site TMPH) the K1 coefficient,
the values of which are given on page 106.
b) - Site ambient temperature (TA) - K2 coefficient

The standard ambient temperature is 38° C (100° F). For a given speed, a site temperature higher than 38° C
increases the real site TKPH (or TMPH). Conversely, a temperature lower than 38° C decreases the real site TKPH (or TMPH).
The K2 coefficient to apply to the basic site TKPH (basic site TMPH) comes from:
K2 = Vm + [ 0,25* x (TA - TR) ] where Vm = is the reference cycle average speed.
Vm TA = is the ambient temperature
TR = is the reference temperature (38° C or 100° F)
(*: use 0.086 instead of 0.25 when calculating basic site TMPH)
The ambient temperature of the site (TA) to be taken into account is ”the maximum temperature in the shade” during the hottest period.
For temperatures TA greater than 15° C (59° F), use the K2 coefficients shown on page 106.
For temperatures TA lower than 15° C (59° F), use the K2 coefficients shown in the shaded area of the table on page 106.
To sum up, for the real site TKPH (TMPH) calculation, proceed as follows:
- calculate the basic site TKPH (TMPH).
- correct for cycle length exceeding 5 kilometres (3 miles) by applying the K1 coefficient.
- correct for ambient temperatures not equal to 38° C (100° F) by applying the K2 coefficient.
Real site TKPH (or TMPH) = Basic site TKPH (or basic site TMPH) x K1 x K2
4 - Comparison of the tyre TKPH (TMPH) and real site TKPH (TMPH)
On the basis that the choice of tread pattern is made to meet the needs of traction,
protection and speed there are 2 possibilities:
a) the tyre’s TKPH (TMPH) is greater than the real site TKPH (TMPH): the tyre is suitable for the application.
b) the tyre’s TKPH (TMPH) is below the real site TKPH (TMPH): the tyre is not suitable for the application.
In case b: - Check if another tread pattern or type may be used.

- See if a modification of operating conditions is possible.
(reduction of load and/or reduction of speed, reduced number of cycles, etc.).
SELECTING THE CORRECT TYRES FOR TRANSPORT MACHINES:
105
Example of a site TKPH (TMPH) calculation
The data to calculate the real site TKPH (TMPH) for dumpers fitted with 37.00 R 57 tyres is as follows:
- well kept but abrasive haul roads; - average payload: 180 tonne (198.5 short ton) (mine value)
- reference cycle: 12 km (7.5 miles); - unladen weight Front: 64 tonne (70.6 short ton)
- duration of cycle: 45 minutes ; H = 45 / 60 = 0,75; - unladen weight Rear: 57 tonne (62.8 short ton)
- ambient temperature: 36° C (96.8° F); - distribution of total laden weight: Front = 33.3 % Rear = 66.7 %
a) Calculation of Qm (average tyre load)`

(TKPH) (TMPH)
- Gross vehicle weight (GW) 180 + 64 + 57 = 301 tonne 198.5 + 70.6 + 62.8 = 332 short ton
- Unladen weight per tyre - Front; Qv: 64 = 32 tonne 70,6 = 35 short ton
2 2
- Laden weight per tyre - Front; Qc: 301 x 33.3 ~ 50 tonne 332 x 33.3 = 55 short ton
(33.3 % of GW on front axle). 2 x 100 2 x 100
- Average tyre load, Qm Front: 32 + 50 = 41 tonne 35 + 55 = 45 short ton

2 2
- Unladen weight per tyre - Rear; Qv: 57 = 14 tonne 62,8 = 15.5 short ton
4 4
- Laden weight per tyre Rear; Qc: 301 x 66.7 ~ 50 tonne 332 x 66.7 = 55 short ton
(66.7 % of Gross Vehicle weight on rear axle). 4 x 100 4 x 100
- Average tyre load, Qm Rear: 14 + 50 = 32 tonne 15.5 + 55 = 35 short ton

2 2
Thus, the value for Qm to be used will be: 41 tonne45 short ton
b) Calculation of Vm
(distance covered per hour)
Vm = L 12 = 16 km in one hour 7.5 = 10 miles in one hour
H 0,75 0,75
c) basic site TKPH (TMPH)

TKPH cb (TMPH cb) = Qm x Vm 41 x 16 = 656 45 x 10 = 450
d) Calculation of K1 coefficient
The round-trip being longer than 5 kilometres (3 miles), the K1 coefficient is the following: is 1.14
(as given in the table on page 106). K1 = 1.14
e) Calculation of K2 coefficient
The ambient temperature being different from 38° C (100° F), the K2 coefficient is:
K2 = Vm + [ 0,25* x (TA - TR) ]
Vm 16 + [0.25 (36 - 38)] = 0.969 10 + [0.086 (96.8 - 100)] = 0.972
(*: use 0.086 instead of 0.25 for TMPH) 16 10
f) Real site TKPH (TMPH)

Applying the K1 and K2 coefficients to the basic site TKPH (TMPH) gives the real site TKPH (TMPH).
656 x 1.14 x 0.969 = 725 450 x 1.14 x 0.972 = 499
g) Tyre TKPH (TMPH) / Real site TKPH (TMPH) comparison

In the 37.00 R 57 XDR size the different tyre TKPH values are: the different TMPH values are:
A = 678 A = 464
B4 = 848 B4 = 581
B = 1018 B = 698
The choice of tyre available for this site would be between B4 and B types.
Taking into account the abrasive haul roads, the recommendation would be B4 type (see type definitions on page 04).

TYRES FOR MECHANICAL HANDLING EQUIPMENT 107
TYRE SELECTION (see characteristics on pages 14 to 47).
For mechanical handling equipment, consult the “TECHNICAL DATA MECHANICAL HANDLING”
data book.
In cases where earthmover tyres are utilised, adopt the following rules.
The selection of the tread pattern and type depends upon:
· the type of machine and the service conditions (ground surface, load, speed, etc.),
· the tyre sizes that can be fitted on the machine.
SELECTION OF THE TYRE TREAD PATTERN:
Rough terrain Level, made-up surfaces
XR XR DN XH D1 XLB XK
XR D1-XR D2 XK D1
SELECTION OF THE TYPE OF TYRE
Unless operating conditions are exceptional (long travel distances, high speeds), type A tread compound is generally
best suited. Please consult Michelin Earthmover Department for advise, if in doubt.
Type of tyre D1 D2
Maximum laden speed, km/h (mph) 20 km/h (12.5 mph) 15 km/h (9mph)
Maximum number of km (miles) allowed in one hour 10 km (6 miles) 6 km (4 miles)
MAXIMUM LOAD CAPACITY - MAXIMUM SPEED - INFLATION PRESSURE
Define the type of ground: rough terrain or level made-up surface.

Determine the maximum load per tyre.
As a general rule, use the inflation pressure corresponding to the maximum load authorised for the given speed.
Please refer to the tables on pages 64 to 67 for tyre load capacities in kg or lb.
If for any reason, a lower inflation pressure is necessary, the pressures quoted in the load / pressure tables can be adapted by applying
the coefficients below.
The reference value is the nominal tyre load at 10 km/h given in International Standards and corresponds to the 10 km/h values
in the ALL TERRAIN tables on pages 64 to 67.

108 ADVICE ON THE USE OF EARTHMOVER TYRES
General precautions to be taken when fitting, removing or mounting tyres in dual

Safety Warning
In order to minimise the risk of accidents,
Always follow the recommended fitting and unfitting procedures for pneumatic tyres.
Only specially trained and authorised personnel should carry out tyre fitting and unfitting.
- The inner and the outer tyres of a twin fitment must always be deflated before removing any rim fixture from the hub of the vehicle.
- Never attempt to repair a damaged wheel by brazing, soldering or welding with the tyre still fitted to the wheel.
Do not apply heat to the wheel or rim when the tyre is still fitted.
- If working near overhead electric lines, make sure that the highest point on the vehicle or on the load is at a safe distance from the lines.
Never exceed the inflation pressure for the wheel. (This may be lower than that for the tyre.)
Always ensure that the tyre is well positioned and seated on the rim before inflation to protect the tyre and fitter.
Consult Michelin technical documentation for advice on inflation pressures and safety guidelines.
Maintain the recommended inflation pressure for the application:

Under inflation or over inflation can be dangerous for the tyre fitter and machine operator, and can cause irreparable damage to the tyre
(rapid and irregular wear, excess temperatures, poor handling, etc.)
Ensure that the tyre is operated within its design parameters:

Overload or use at excessive speed will ultimately affect a tyre’s performance.
We strongly advise against:

- dual mounting of Michelin radial tyres with diagonal ply (bias) tyres.
- dual mounting of a tyre of normal tread depth with a deep treaded tyre.
- dual mounting of tyres of the same type which have different degrees of wear. (a 10% difference in tread depth can be tolerated).
If in any doubt, please consult Michelin documents on FITTING AND REMOVING OF EARTHMOVER TYRES.
Handling
Poor handling of an unfitted tyre can cause it to be irreparably damaged.
In order to eliminate the risk of bead damage and the problems which could result, we strongly advise that:
1 - The tyre is not lifted directly on the bead with a crane hook.
2 - Flat straps be used (not steel slings or chains).
3 - The tyre be lifted under the tread and not under the beads when a fork lift truck is used.
4 - For all tubeless tyres supplied with bead protectors, the protector be left in place until the tyre is about to be fitted.
(keep the protectors; they can be refitted when the tyre is temporarily removed for repair or retreading).
Storage
In order to avoid premature ageing and damage to tyres, they should be stored in a cool dry place indoors and away from direct sunlight.
If this cannot be done, the tyres must be protected from:

1 - Ozone sources (sun, arc-welders, mercury vapour light bulbs, etc).
2 - Ultra-violet rays.
3 - The weather
- Tyres should be stored vertically on the roll, one against the other (avoid stacking).
- Tubes, flaps and sealing rings may be stocked in their original packing, or unwrapped, on racks, shelves or in containers,
providing that the surfaces in contact with the rubber are smooth to avoid tears, cuts or perforations.
ADVICE ON THE USE OF EARTHMOVER TYRES 109
Fitting of TG earthmover tyres (24 inch diameter)
These tyres must only be fitted on drop-centre, semi drop-centre or single piece wheels.
(XGLA2* TG, XRA* TG, XSNOPLUS* TG and XMPS* TG)
Do not fit * TG tyres on flat base rims.
Semi Drop Centre

rim SDC Flat
base rim
Fitting of 15.5 R 25* and 17.5 R 25* earthmover tyres

L2 (XTLA*, XSNOPLUS*) and L3 (XHA*) tyres can be fitted to:
- multi piece SDC or Flat Base rims
- single piece rims
NOTE: L3** (XKA), L4 (XRD1A) and L5 (XLDD2,* XMineD2, XSMD2+) tyres should only be fitted to multi piece rims.
They should not be fitted to single piece rims.
Inflation pressure
Appropriate tyre inflation pressure ensures:
- a good tyre/vehicle combination,
- maximum tyre life.
Use the correct pressure (see pages 94 to 102 “How to determine inflation pressure”).
In the absence of any practical advice on tyre loads, working conditions, etc, we can indicate basic working pressures
for most machines based on the machine manufacturers’ data.
Please consult Michelin Earthmover Department for further information.

Rigid Dump Tr
To enhance the competitiveness of mining
operations, the payload of rigid dumpers has
increased dramatically. MICHELIN innovations,
the product of extensive experience in the field,
and our ongoing commitment to the customers
have always accompanied this increase.
The "series 80" concept, for instance, enabled
the development of giant dumpers. Backed
by this experience, MICHELIN is a partner
recognized for its expertise by the major vehicle
manufacturers. The entire range of MICHELIN
tyres for large-capacity site dumpers relies
on this expertise. And it is this expertise
that MICHELIN makes available to you,
to reduce your operating costs.

Tyre selection as a function of the surface (type, condition, etc.)
The chart on the following page shows which type of tyre should be selected according to the conditions of use.
The range is composed of three main tread compounds: A, B and C.
These are available in tread patterns XHD1, XDT, XKD1 and XDR to meet the specific requirements of different site conditions.
Definition of the different tread compound types.

A4: Particularly resistant to cuts, tread tearing and abrasion on very rough surfaces. It is the best choi-

B: Higher resistance to internal heat generation on surfaces which are not very rough.
C4: For running on long cycles at high speeds on well maintained roads.
+ - C: Very high resistance to high average speeds on long cycles run onwell maintained roads.
Tyre selection as a function of the service conditions (distances, speeds, loads)

CYCLES less than 5 km (3 miles) and ambient temperature between 15 and 38 °C, in the table on the following page, the allowable
distance (km, miles) in the hour is indicated.
CYCLE LENGTH greater than 5 km (3 miles) and ambient temperature greater than 38 °C.
When the cycle length is greater than 5 km (3 miles), use the method specified to calculate the TKPH to select the tyre best suited to
the application.
TKPH (TMPH) is an expression of the working capacity of a tyre and is a function of the maximum allowed internal operating
temperature of a tyre. (For method of determining of TKPH, see page 103 of the 2003 technical data book).
For XMP and XVC types, in the sizes 14.00 R 24, 14.00 R 25, 16.00 R 25, 18.00 R 25 and 395/80 R 25, use the average permissible speed
to determine the most appropriate tyre.

graders
With their combination of solidity and precision,
graders must be constantly available, whether
for maintaining or clearing tracks, banking or
regulating layers (earthworks or construction).
To be efficient, these invaluable tools need to be
fitted with tyres that are perfectly suited to
the task in hand.
To ensure that your machines are always
available, MICHELIN offers a vast range of tyres,
catering for all working conditions. You are sure
to find a solution that reduces the operating costs
of your graders.
28
Tyre selection
The chart on the following pages shows which type of tyre should be selected according to the conditions of use. Where extreme
protection is needed, XLD D2 and X Mine D2 tyres may be necessary (see available sizes on pages 24 and 25), they may only be fitted
to 3 or 5 piece rims.
For special work (example: sloping embankments),the same tyre will be used but the inflation pressure should be adapted
(see the chapter “determination of inflation pressure” on the 2003 technical data book, page 99).

- Tread compound type A is resistant to cutting and tearing.
- Tread compound type B can be operated at higher speeds.

Number of km (miles) permitted in one hour for 24 inch and 25 inch tyres.
Use the average permissible speeds regardless of the number of round trips and under normal working conditions (laden and unladen
trips).
Number of km (miles) permitted in one hour for tyres 29 inch diameter and larger.
CYCLE length less than 5 km (3 miles) and ambient temperature between 15 and 38 °C.
CYCLE length greater than 5 km (3 miles) and ambient temperature greater than 38 °C.
When the cycle length is greater than 5 km (3 miles), use the method specified to calculate the TKPH to select the tyre best suited to the
application.
TKPH (TMPH) is an expression of the working capacity of a tyre and is a function of the maximum allowed internal operating tempera-
ture of a tyre (to calculate TKPH (TMPH) see page 103 of the 2003 technical data book).

cultural applications or the maintenance
of parks and gardens. They are also present
in materials handling.

tyres
Compactors are used for preparatory or finishing
work, primarily on public works projects.
The compaction of soils and bitumen consists
either in levelling them or, in the case of finishing
work, surfacing them for road construction.
Tyre-mounted compactors offer greater operator
comfort, manoeuvrability and mobility, but their
tyres are subjected to significant stresses
(high temperature of the materials).
MICHELIN has therefore developed a specific
solution adapted to these stresses.

Michelin Radial Technology
A tyre’s construction is the key to its performance; and outstanding tyre performance is a key competitive
advantage for transport and working machines in the earthmover industry.
Earthmoving equipment can achieve outstanding performance by using radial tyres. Radial tyres for
transport and working machines deliver longer life, have significantly fewer punctures and provide better
traction, all of which result in more machine availability. Other radial advantages include low fuel
consumption, improved operator comfort and machine operation due to increased sidewall flexibility.
Radials also lower a machine’s centre of gravity, which improves stability. This results in more productivity
from equipment on the job site
Aspect ratio H/S

Example: 80 series or wide base
The H/S aspect ratio is approximately equal to 0.80

INDUSTRIAL TYRES
Tyres for mechanical handling equipment used in areas where there is a high risk of fire or explosion, such as the
chemical and petrochemical industries, must meet certain standards concerning their electrical resistivity.
These requirements are indicated in the norms in operative.
All MICHELIN INDUSTRIAL TYRES are marked

(or will be progressively marked) with the following symbol moulded into the sidewall.
Notes: for other ranges of tyre used on mechanical handling equipment in high risk areas, contact MICHELIN for advice.

The crown and sidewalls are formed

by the same ply structure.
The tread is subjected to any flexing
with occurs and this causes.
- deformation of the tyre contact area
on the ground,
- movement in the contact patch.
The casing plies tend to “scissor” in
relation to each other.
Disadvantages:
- accelerated wear,
- less grip,
- increased fuel consumption.
The Michelin X radial technique
The crown is stabilized The casing

by a belt made up has only one
of several plies. radial casing ply.
The sidewall and tread function

separately.
The tread is unaffected by the flexing
of the sidewalls, so there is:
- less deformation of the tyre contact
area on the ground,
- less movement in contact patch,
- no movement between casing plies.
Avantages:
- longer tyre life,
- better traction on all types
of surface,
- lower fuel consumption due
to lower rolling resistance,
- improved comfort,
- increased resistance
to punctures.
GENERAL INFORMATION 5
LOAD CAPACITY AND SPEED INDICES
The marking A5 on Industrial tyres limits their speed to 25 km/h.
However, legislation requires that if speeds above 25 km/h are required, the tyre manufactured should be consulted.
In addition, if the speed capability of the tyre is less than 50 km/h but greater than 25 km/h, a secondary marking should appear on the tyre.
MICHELIN permit the use of their industrial tyres at:
- 50 km/h for the XZR and - 35 km/h for the XZM up to 12.00 R 24.
In addition to the marking A5, MICHELIN tyres carry the secondary marking:
MAX speed 35 km/h for the XZM up to 12.00 R 24 or MAX speed 50 km/h for the XZR.
Special exception, MICHELIN authorizes the use of these XZM 20” at a maximum speed of 40 km/h
when the tyres are fitted on RORO tractors.

OTHER MICHELIN RADIAL TYRES USED FOR MECHANICAL HANDLING 23
CONDITIONS OF USE
The range of Michelin industrial tyres has been specifically designed to equip industrial machines.
The sizes are specific to these machines and their work, the loads and speeds correspond to standardized figures .
Each time tyres need to be fitted to mechanical handling equipment, the following rules should be followed:
1°) When the tyre size exists in the industrial tyre range, the industrial tyre must be used.
2°) When the tyre size does not exist in the industrial tyre range, look for a tyre from other tyre ranges (e.g.: Truck or Earthmover) ensuring
that the condition of use (speed, load, kilometres in the hour…) are compatible with the characteristics of the tyre chosen. This can result
in certain tyres not being recommended for some uses.
3°) In order to permit Earthmover and Truck tyres to be used on Mechanical Handling machines, certain limits for load, speed and pressure
have been defined. These values, indicated on the pages that follow, are maxima values, and must not be exceeded.

THE TUBELESS BEAD SEAL (TBS) 27
DEFINITION
The tubeless bead seal is a special device conceived to permit the fitment of tubeless tyres as tubeless on rims which are not tubeless.
It consists of a ring of special rubber, which is placed inside the tyre, and fits between the tyre beads.
It ensures the airtightness of the wheel and tyre assembly.
Valves and the plug can be ordered separately, if required.
RANGE (for fitment with XZR TL, XZM TL and STABIL’X XZM TL up to and including 20”)
Caution ! the choice of TBS depends on the wheel rim width.

SIZE MARKINGS
Example of marking: 100 TL 8 (for 8 x 4.33 rim).
100: indicates the width of the tubeless bead seal in mm.
TL: for a tubeless tyre
8: indicates the rim diameter in inches.
The choice of TBS depends on the width of the rim on which the tyre is to be fitted.
Early TBS for fitment to rims less than 6” wide had only one chimney position into which the valve could be fitted.
Others had two chimneys; one central, the other offset, to allow correct positioning relative to the wheel nave.
The chimney not used by the valve, is sealed with a plastic plug (supplied with the TBS).

28 RECOMMENDATIONS
IMPORTANCE OF THE TYRE
Tyres are the only contact between the vehicle and the ground. It is therefore vital to have the correct tyre and to keep it in good condition.
TYRE LOAD AND SPEED INDICES

See page 5.
CHOICE OF TREAD PATTERN

This depends essentially on the conditions of use, and the type of ground encountered: (e.g.: traction requirement, risk of damage…).
Optimum tyre performance depends on the correct tyre choice.
An unsuitable tread pattern will result in a significant reduction in tyre life.
FITTING AND REMOVAL OF TYRES

These operations must be entrusted to a professional having the correct equipment and training. Incorrect fitting can cause fatal injuries during the
fitting operation or cause damage (which may be visible or not) to either the tyre or rim. Such damage could result in premature failure of the tyre.
Tube type MICHELIN tyres must be fitted with the corresponding MICHELIN tube and flap.
Tubeless industrial tyres may be fitted with a tubeless bead seal on all rims to which the same size could be fitted as tube type. They can also
fitted with a tube and flap if a TBS is not available.
Tubeless Earthmover and Truck Tyres when fitted to a flat base tubeless wheel must be fitted with the correct corner joint.
When a tyre is replaced, it is recommended that a new TBS is fitted at the same time.
If the old TBS is re-fitted, it is essential that a new valve is used, and that the valve hole in the TBS is undamaged.
If it is damaged, the TBS must be replaced, as it is the hole and the valve ensure there is nos air loss.
When a tyre is fitted to a divided wheel (normally consisting of 2 parts bolted together), or in the case of a twin fitment,
it is ESSENTIAL to totally deflate the tyre before all intervention. Failure to follow this rule can result in very serious injury.
Tyres fitted to a divided wheel, and placed in stock must be inflated to between 0,7 and 0,8 bar only;
the tyre should be inflated to the correct pressure when the assembly is fitted to the machine.
Consult the wheel or vehicle manufacture to ensure that the wheel is suitable for the loads and tyre pressure foreseen.
(certain divided wheels are only capable of accepting a pressure of up 8 bar.)
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
1 - Never undertake any welding, or apply any heat of any form to the wheel, or in close proximity of the wheel, before removing the tyre from
the rim. Serious explosion can result if this precaution is not taken.
2 - Never work in the vincinity of high tension overhead power cables, before ensuring that the minimum safe distance between the power
cables and the materials handling equipment being used will be respected in all operations.
3 - The following are NOT recommended:
- the twinning of MICHELIN radial tyres with tyres of diagonal ply construction,
- the twinning of normal tread tyres and those with a deep tread,
- the twinning of tyres of the same type but with different degrees of wear,
- the mixing on the same machine of radial tyres with either diagonal ply tyres or pneumatic shaped solid tyres. (sometimes referred to a
cushion tyres).
RECOMMENDATIONS 29
INFLATION PRESSURE
Tyre pressures should be checked every two weeks.
The correct inflation pressure is of utmost importance for safety, stability, tyre life, comfort and energy saving.
Under-inflation causes an abnormally high temperature in the tyre's components and leads to the deterioration of the tyre.
This deterioration is irreversible and may result in a sudden tyre deflation.
The damaging effects of under-inflation do not necessarily show at once, but can show up some time after the pressure has been corrected.
After an extended period of use whilst under-inflated, the tyre must be removed from the wheel, inspected and if judged suitable for further
service, re-fitted.
The weighing of each axle (front and rear) of a fully laden vehicle is the only way to determine the correct inflation pressure.
Check inflation pressure regularly when the tyres are cold.
Note: Axle weights for a fork lift truck should be taken as follows: Drive axle, Truck carrying max. Ioad,
Steer axle, Truck empty.
It is normal for tyre pressures to rise whilst running, so never bleed air from a tyre which has recently been running.
Ensure the tyre pressures of twin tyres are the same.
Unless a specification to the contrary exists, the recommended pressure for industrial tyres is between 9 and 10 bar.
(see note above concerning divided wheels).
STORAGE OF TYRES AND TUBES

To avoid premature ageing and deterioration, tyres must be stored in a dark, dry and cool place indoors.
They should be protected from:
1) ozone concentrations (sunlight, arc-welding, mercury vapour lamps, electric generator…),
2) ultra-violet radiation,
3) extreme temperatures,
4) grease, gasoline and other substances which could deteriorate the rubber.
Tyres should be placed vertically, upright, side by side as if positioned on a vehicle.

Tubes, flaps and air-tight seals can be kept in their original packaging or open on shelves or in containers where the surface in contact with
the rubber is smooth to avoid risks of tearing, cuts or perforations.
30 RECOMMENDATIONS
NITROGEN INFLATION
INTRODUCTION
In normal conditions of use, the inflation of Michelin tyres with air causes no problems, either from the point of view of tyre life, or from the
point of view of safety.
WHEN SHOULD NITROGEN INFLATION BE RECOMMENDED ?

When inflation of tyres, or the checking of tyre pressure is difficult, or in cases where routine maintenance could be overlooked:
- low-loader trailers,
- rolling drums, scrubbers…,
- mechanical handling equipment (especially when the user has insufficient air-line capacity to reach the inflation pressure required normally
between 9 and 10 bar).
Nitrogen inflation is systematicaly recommended for reason of safety when working under the following conditions:
- areas where there is a risk of explosion,
- working with or in areas involving high temperature liquids (e.g. foundries, glass works, etc.),
- working in areas where there is a risk of electrical discharge (close to high tension cables…).
Nitrogen inflation is particularly well adapted for use with mechanical handling equipment.
ADVANTAGES
Air is a mixture of approx. 21 % oxygen, and 78 % nitrogen.
Air diffuses slowly through rubber, requiring regular pressure checks, and re-inflation of the tyre.
Nitrogen, which is an inert gas, due to it’s larger molecules, diffuses through rubber 3 times slower than oxygen.
When inflated with nitrogen, the tyre loses pressure one and a half times slower than if inflated with air.
The tyre suffers less from underinflation, and adjustment of pressure needs to be undertaken less often
Inflation with Nitrogen limits considerably pressure loss, and also the risk of auto-combustion.
VOLUME OF NITROGEN NECESSARY TO INFLATE A TYRE

The quantity of nitrogen necessary to inflate a tyre is proportionnal to it's internal volume and the inflation pressure required.
The volumes of the industrial tyres are shown in the tables (characteristics of MICHELIN Industrial Tyres).
Example: 250/70 R 15, XZM TL
interior volume is 39 litres,
for a pressure of 10 bar, the quantity of nitrogen needed is: 39 x 10 = 390 litres.
EQUIPMENT NECESSARY
To install an effective inflation system, we would recommend:
- 2 gas bottles of compressed nitrogen,
- 1 nitrogen regulator,
- an inflation gun EURODAINU ref. 1822 for truck and industrial, and ref. 35864 for earthmover.
IMPORTANT: INFLATION WITH NITROGEN MUST BE UNDERTAKEN BY A PERSON WHO HAS BEEN TRAINED TO USE IT.
NEVER USE A NITROGEN BOTTLE WITHOUT THE APPROPRIATE REGULATOR, AND ALWAYS FOLLOW SAFETY GUIDELINES.

TYRES FOR
MECHANICAL HANDLING
Industries, ports, intermodal depots
Edition 2001-2002
Michelin
a complete and innovative range
of radial tyres
for mechanical handling
MICHELIN has harnessed all it’s expertise in research and development to
produce a range of products responding to the needs of the mechanical
handling industry.
The range of MICHELIN INDUSTRIAL tyres optimises qualities that only the
radial ”pneumatic“ concept can combine :
Tyre wear :
- ensures slow and regular wear
- contributes fully to the reduction in running costs of the tyre.
Impact and puncture resistance :
- ensures minimum machine downtime due to punctures and tyre damage.
Comfort :
- ensures driver comfort
- ensures load protection
- ensures mechanical protection to engine, battery, electronic on board equipment, and
steering/drive components
- ensures minimal ground damage, due to radial tyre shock absorption properties.
Adhesion :
- efficient transmission of driving torque and braking forces to the ground
- effective on all types of surface.
Low rolling resistance :
- saves on fuel (for both electric and i/c powered equipment)
- permits longer periods between battery changing/refuelling.
Tubeless radial tyre :

MICHELIN is the first to offer a complete and innovatively designed range of
tubeless tyres for mechanical handling.
Michelin’s tubeless radial tyre ensures :
- Safety : elimination of instant deflations following puncturing or failure of the inner tube.
Elimination of deflations caused by the inadvertent fitment of foreign matter between tyre
and tube.
- Reliability : elimination of constant internal friction between the inner tube, flap, and
tyre, causing wear to the tube.
- Ease of fitting and removal : the tube and flap are replaced by a tubeless bead seal,
an ’O’-ring, or a rubber corner joint depending on the tyre size and/or type of rim.
2
The Tubeless Bead Seal
a truly innovative advance in tubeless technology
The tubeless bead seal is a device developed by Michelin to permit the fitment of tubeless
tyres as tubeless to rims which were designed for tube type fitment. It consists of a profiled
rubber, which is placed inside the tyre, and locates between the tyre beads. It ensures
the airtightness of the wheel and tyre assembly.

Antistatic properties
Working conditions having a high fire or explosive risk :
tyres for mechanical handling equipment working in high fire risk or explosive
atmospheres : chemical production, petrochemicals, etc. (in both production and storage
areas) must, for reasons of safety conform to antistatic norms imposed in legislation. This
will depend on the ’zoning’ and degree of protection required.
All Michelin industrial tyres are marked (or will be progressively marked) with
the following symbol moulded into the sidewall to indicate that they conform
to the standards currently in force.

THE TUBELESS BEAD STEAL (TBS)
DEFINITION
It consists of a ring of special rubber, which is placed inside the tyre, and fits between the tyre beads. It ensures the airtightness of the wheel and tyre assembly.
During the first quarter of 2001, all TBS will be modified to have two valve holes, and will be automatically supplied with a plug. Each description will also change.
They can be ordered with the plug only, or with the most popular valve. Other valves and the plug can also be ordered separately, if required.
RANGE (for fitment with XZR TL, XZM TL and STABIL’X XZM TL up to and including 20”)
Caution ! the choice of TBS depends on the wheel rim width.

Industrial tyres
care and maintenance
The regular checking of tyres is indispensable if safety and the optimum tyre performance are to be obtained.
At each service of the machine, carry out a visual check of the tyres, looking for tyre or wheel damage, or other
anomaly. At the same time, check the remaining tread life of the tyre. Remove, replace or repair as necessary.
For any tyre problems, consult your tyre dealer or specialist.
Tyre inflation :
● Correct inflation pressure has a direct influence on tyre life and performance, energy costs, comfort, and
safety.
● Check tyre pressures at least once a fortnight.
● Tyre pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold, i.e. after standing for several hours.
● It is normal for tyre pressures to rise whilst running, so never bleed air from a tyre which has recently
beeen running.
● Ensure pressures in twinned tyres are the same.
● Always fit a new tube and new flap in a new tyre.
● Always fit a new TBS, corner joint or ’O’-ring as appropriate, with a new tubeless tyre.
● The strength of most divided wheels (two halves bolted together) , is such that they are limited to a
maximum inflation pressure of 8 bars. If in doubt check with the wheel or equipment
manufacturer.
Nitrogen inflation :
● Advantages :
Air contains both oxygen and nitrogen. Oxygen, having smaller molecules than nitrogen, diffuses quicker
through rubber, and hence the tyre, than nitrogen. When inflated with nitrogen, the tyre loses pressure 3
times slower than if it were inflated with air. Consequently, it is not necessary to re-inflate the tyre so often,
and the tyre maintains it’s correct pressure longer. In diffusing through the rubber, the oxygen contained in
the air tends to oxidize the component parts of the tyre (rubber, cord... ). Inflation with an inert gas such as
nitrogen reduces these problems, and minimises loss of pressure. It should be noted that nitrogen is an inert gas.
● When should nitrogen inflation be recommended ?
When inflation of tyres or the checking of tyre pressure is difficult, or in cases where routine maintenance
could be overlooked :
- low-loaded trailers,
- rolling drums, scrubbers...,
- mechanical handling equipment (especially when the user has insufficient air-line capacity to reach the
inflation pressure required - normally between 9 and 10 bars).
Nitrogen inflation is systematically recommended for reasons of safety when working
under the following conditions :
- areas where there is a risk of explosion,
- working with or in areas involving high temperature liquids (e.g. foundries, glass works, etc...),
- working in areas where there is a risk of electrical discharge (close to high tension cables...),
Nitrogen inflation is particularly well adapted for use with mechanical handling equipment.
● Volume of nitrogen necessary to inflate a tyre :
The quantity of nitrogen necessary to inflate a tyre is proportionnal to it’s internal volume and the inflation
pressure required. The volumes of the industrial tyres are shown in the tables (characteristics of Michelin
industrial tyres). Example : 250/70 R 15, interior volume is 41 Iitres,
for a pressure of 10 bars, the quantity of nitrogen needed is : 41x10 = 410 litres.
● Equipment necessary :
To install an effective inflation system, we would recommend :
- 2 gas bottles of compressed nitrogen,
- 1 nitrogen regulator,
- an inflation gun EURODAINU ref. 1822 for truck an industrial, and ref. 1954 for earthmover.
IMPORTANT : when inflating with nitrogen, never use the gas bottles without a regulator.

SIZE MARKINGS
Example of marking: 100 TL 8 (for 8 x 4.33 rim).
TL: for a tubeless tyre
8: indicates the rim diameter in inches.
VALVES
When fitting a tyre with a TBS, it is essential to use a special TBS valve, which is inserted into the valve hole in the TBS after the tyre has
been placed on the wheel.
These valves are bendable to ensure they align correctly with the wheel. In addition, they may be extended by fitting a highway truck
valve extension.
Two different valves exist: a short on bent at 94° (R 2160) for 8 and 9 inches TBS,
a short on bent at 94° (R 2102) for 8 to 20 inches TBS.
Each TBS will be delivered with a valve, and a plastic plug.

It is also possible to purchase the valve from a Schrader dealer under references R2102-1 for the short valve, and
R2160 for the short valve with the small base (see characteristics page 6).

NOTE
In order to facilitate fitting the tyre on the rim after the insertion of the TBS, we recommend the use of a small press. The press is only required
to depress the loose flange to allow the locking ring to engage in its groove, (and if fitted the Advance band). Very little pressure is required,
and experience has shown that a small hand operated screw press will suffice.
It should be noted that fitting the TBS is very easy; in fact it is easier than fitting a conventional tube and flap.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
2 appropriate fitting levers 1 pressure gauge (Eurodainu ref.: 1822 or equivalent)
1 small manual press grease chalk
(consult Michelin for advice) Tigre grease fitting lubricant or equivalent
1 mole wrench CAI 589009 (1 kg) or 589008 (4 kg)
1 hammer a cloth
1 tyre inflation air line valve core removal tool
(with correct pressure regulator) 1 pair of pliers
Operator should wear safety shoes and gloves

WITH A TUBELESS BEAD SEAL ON A MULTIPIECE RIM
When a tyre is being replaced, it is recommended that a new TBS is fitted. In all cases, it is imperative
to replace the valve every time a tyre is changed, and to check that the valve hole is not damaged.
If damaged, then the air retention cannot be guaranteed; in this case, the TBS must be changed.
Lubrication
Preliminary stage (fig. 1 & 2)
- Lubricate the base of the valve with fitting lubricant (tigre grease or equivalent)
- Similary lubricate the plastic plug (when the TBS has two valves holes)
- Lubricate the hole in the TBS by inserting and removing the valve several times from the “non-chimney” side of the TBS.
- If a plastic plug is required, ensure that is correctly positioned in the TBS as described above.
lubrication
figure 1 figure 2
1st stage (fig. 3 & 4)

Do not use excessive lubrication:
- do not lubricate the part of the rim (advance band, loose flange...).
- Lubricate the interior of the tyre from the bead over a distance of 150 mm from the bead.
- Lubricate the tubeless bead seal on its profiled side (aera to be in contact with the interior of the tyre, and the rim).
;;

CAUTION! Poor lubrication can affect the fitting and result in severe air loss.
;;
When lubrication of the tyre is not correct,when the tyre beads are compressed, the TBS slides along the lubricated areas of the tyre,
but stops when it reaches a non-lubricated area (fig. 5), and then does not sit true when the tyre is inflated (fig. 6).

With correct lubrication, when the beads are compressed, the TBS slides symetrically along the lubricated parts of the tyre (fig. 7),
and then sits correctly when the tyre is inflated (fig. 8).

IMPORTANT! Never mix component parts from several wheels.

CAUTION! Ensure that the wheel components are fitted the correct way round.
- If the wheel has an Advance band (bead support ring), fit this, aligning the gap in the band with the valve.
(ensure the Advance band clears the locking ring groove).
- Position the loose flange on the tyre.
- Locate the 3 arms of the press onto the loose flange (A).
- With the aid of a press if necessary, push down on the loose flange to expose the locking ring groove.
- Fit the locking ring (locate one end in place whilst fitting using a mole wrench).

- Inflate the tyre to 1 bar, to seat the wheel components, ensuring all necessary safety precautions are adhered to.
- Then inflate to 10 bar to check for the absence of leaks.
- Inflate to operating pressure again following normal safety precautions.
LWITH A TUBELESS BEAD SEAL ON A DIVIDED RIM
In the majority of cases, the TBS and valve are not adapted for fitment to two piece divided wheels, and fitment is not
possible.The valve hole in the wheel does not normally align with that in the TBS. In adition, it is normally concave,
which affects the fitting and seating of the valve.
If exceptionally, fitment is possible, lubricate and insert the TBS into the tyre as shown above (see basic operations, and stages
preliminary, 1 and 2 on pages 4 and 5), then fit the tyre to the wheel as shown below:

- Inflate the tyre to the pressure required, ensuring safety regulations are adhered (to maximum 7 bar).
FITTING MICHELIN INDUSTRIAL TYRES 9
(TUBE TYPE OR TUBELESS) WITH A TUBE AND FLAP
DEFINITION
When the tyre is fitted as tube type, it is not possible to use the Tubeless Bead Seal.
It is therefore necessary to fit the tyre using a tube and flap.
Michelin industrial tyres, although marked as tubeless, also carry the marking “MAY BE USED WITH A TUBE”. Hence they can be fitted either
as Tubeless, or with a tube and flap.
PRODUCT RANGE
CAUTION! The choice of flap depends on the wheel rim width.

Tubeless System
Michelin is the first to offer a complete and innovative range
of Tubeless Radial tyres
for Mechanical Handling
Tubeless System
Michelin’s Tubeless Radial tyres offer :
• Safety : elimination of sudden deflations following punctures or tube failure.
• Reliability : elimination of internal friction between the inner tube,
the flap and the tyre, which could cause the tube to fail.
• Ease of fitting and removal : the tube and flap are replaced by a Tubeless Bead
Seal, an O ring or corner joint, depending on the tyre size and/or type of rim.
Tubeless Bead Seal

A truly innovative advance in tubeless tyre technology.
The Tubeless Bead Seal is a device developed by Michelin
to enable the fitting of tubeless tyres onto rims designed
for tube type fitment. It comprises a ring of special rubber
which fits over the wheel and between the tyre beads
to ensure an airtight seal.
