Erlau launches new Sideflex product

Tyre protection chain manufacturer Erlau has release a new product designed to protect sidewalls. According to the company, Sideflex is one of Erlau’s latest innovations and helps avoid sidewall damage to expensive and valuable dump-truck tyres for construction and mining equipment in particular earthmoving machines.

Furthermore Sideflex is described as an easy to fit, lightweight shield which simply deflects rock and debris from the tyre wall. The device fits firmly within the wheel hub and almost brushes the ground preventing rock and debris from penetrating the tyre wall. Protective arms radiate from a central retaining ring and form a shield covering the sidewall

Erlau AG was founded in 1828 in Aalen and is a subsidiary of the RUD Group, a leading manufacturer and supplier of tyre protection chains and outdoor furniture.
