Equipment Compatibility

ASW is designed to fit validated fleet configurations using the existing OEM hub interface, subject to machine model, wheel size, payload, duty cycle, site conditions, and engineering approval.

Engineered for Heavy Mining Equipment at Every Scale

Each application is defined by the tyre-related problem it addresses, how the ASW fits the equipment class, and its current validation status. The ASW bolt-on design fits the OEM hub without machine modification across validated configurations.

Tier 1 Application
Surface Mining

Large Haul Trucks — Ultra & Standard Class

The highest-impact ASW application. Ultra-class haul trucks carry the largest payload fraction of any surface mining operation — and bear the highest tyre cost burden. TKPH limits on conventional OTR tyres constrain haul cycles and load factors. ASW eliminates TKPH as a constraint entirely.

OEM Compatibility
Blowout failure mode removed — no exclusion zones required around operating haul trucks
No TKPH limits — haul cycles no longer constrained by heat-related tyre failure risk
Segment replacement in-situ — no need to remove wheel from axle for tread service
87% reduction in unplanned downtime measured across trial fleet deployments

Surface & Underground Mining

Large Wheel Loaders

Tyre cost, downtime, and handling risk on large wheel loaders operating in high-load, abrasive conditions. The ASW replaces the pneumatic tyre on large wheel loaders within the R29 to R63 size range — validated through engineering analysis and field deployment.

Blowout failure mode removed — no high-energy tyre event on the bucket fill and dump cycle
High-load abrasive conditions managed by modular tread segment replacement — no full wheel change-out
Tyre handling risk reduced — heavy loader tyre change-outs are among the highest-risk maintenance activities on site
Validation status confirmed through engineering analysis and field deployment on large wheel loader applications

Wheel Dozers

Tyre damage and downtime on wheel dozer platforms operating in high-impact ground conditions. The ASW may be applicable to wheel dozer platforms of equivalent class within the R29 to R63 size range — application suitability and validation status are confirmed with engineering for each deployment.

Beyond Mining Equipment

Other High-Load Applications

Tyre cost, failure, and disposal burden across other high-load industrial equipment. The ASW architecture may be adapted for applications such as slag pot carriers, heavy industrial forklifts, and cranes, subject to engineering review. Adaptation is assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Slag pot carrier industrial application
Steel & Smelting

Slag Pot Carriers

High-heat environments and extreme payload cycles make slag pot carriers a strong candidate for ASW. Thermal runaway risk from rubber tyres in proximity to radiant heat is eliminated by the ASW's non-rubber ground-contact system.

Heavy industrial forklift application
Heavy Industry

Heavy Industrial Forklifts

Large industrial forklifts operating in port and heavy manufacturing environments share the tyre management challenges of mining equipment — supply constraints, high maintenance burden, and failure risk in confined working areas.

Heavy crane industrial application
Construction & Port

Large Mobile Cranes

Mobile cranes operating at extreme payloads face similar OTR tyre constraints: supply shortage risk, heat management, and the consequences of a failure event under load. ASW architecture can be assessed for adaptation to equivalent wheel and hub configurations.

Application Assessment

Not Sure If Your Equipment Qualifies?

GACWheels conducts site-specific engineering assessment for applications outside the validated fleet. Contact us with your equipment type, tyre size range, and operating conditions — and we will evaluate compatibility.
