Magna Tyres Group has announced the introduction of the brand-new Magna M-RIGID tyre for rigid dump trucks. This radial constructed 27.00R49/33.00R51/40.00R57 earthmover, with an E4 tread pattern is designed for rigid dump trucks that operate in the most demanding off-road conditions. It offers the optimal tyre performance/purchase price, resulting in a low cost price per hour. The Magna M-RIGID is the solution to achieve a highly efficient mining operation and to increase a site?s profitability, according to the company.

The Magna M-RIGID has massive rigid lug blocks, that offer the traction and durability required in the most severe surface mines. The unique and revolutionary tread pattern design has four major innovations. These include: Weight reducing cut-outs on the tread blocks and lugs, to reduce heat build-up and improve tyre life; Circumferential groove in the tread pattern to improve steering control for enhanced heavy-load cornering performance and improved heat dissipation; Interlocking shoulder blocks to reduce excessive movement during cornering, to reduce heat build-up, and to enhance operator comfort and tyre life; and The optimised contact patch ensures even wear and improves tread life.

The M-RIGID will be available in the market from May 2019.
