Belshina launching 33.00R51 mining tyre

Belarus-based tyre maker Belshina is expanding its portfolio of off-highway tyres to include a product suitable for mining dump trucks carrying loads of around 130-tonnes. It produced the first prototypes of its size 33.00R51 Belshina Bel-785 in February, and the tyre is now undergoing testing.

The Bel-785 is designed for mining dump trucks with 120 to 140 tonne capacities that operate in open cut mines at ambient temperatures from -55 °С to 50 °С. Belshina says the tyre’s tread pattern provides increased grip and durability when working on rocky surfaces. Durability is further enhanced by the use of steel cord in the casing.
