pewag Goes Big
Mining machines, such as wheel loaders (WA 1200, CAT 994, LT 2350) and dump trucks (CAT 797, HD 930), are becoming increasingly larger and heavier – and so are their tires (70/70-57; 59/80-63). In 1992, pewag made history as a pioneer by fitting a CAT 994 for the first time, and in 2003 by outfitting the world’s largest tire at the time (60/80-57). Setting the standard in durability, pewag launched a new generation of highly robust 23mm tire protection chains in 2006, which were successfully fitted in 2007 on the world’s largest wheel loader, the WE 2350 (70/70-57).
pewag Goes Underground
Special reinforced chain solutions for underground mining designed by pewag provide maximum strength and optimum wear volume as well as special flank protection by dense inside and outside mesh.
What Makes Our Products Stand Out
Earth Mover Tires, which represent the highest single cost factor for the operation of a wheeled unit, are sensitive to cuts, punctures and other damage. Their high value and world-wide-shortage means that pewag Tire Protection Chains solve many of these problems.

Industries and Applications
Tire protection chains are crucial in heavy-duty industries, enhancing tire durability in tough environments. In open-pit mining, they guard against sharp rocks, reducing downtime. In underground mining and tunneling, they provide traction and protect against debris. In quarrying, they support heavy loads on uneven ground, while in slag and scrap handling, they ensure tire integrity amidst sharp materials. Overall, these chains extend tire life and improve efficiency across these demanding applications.
Make the Right Decision
Tyre protection chains are essential for protecting your high-cost Earth Mover Tyres from damage caused by sharp rocks, rough terrain, and heavy loads. By covering the vulnerable parts of the tyre with a durable mesh, these chains reduce wear and tear, extend tyre life, and minimize costly downtimes. Choosing pewag chains ensures maximum productivity, safety, and cost-efficiency.
The type of rock you are working with significantly impacts the performance and longevity of your tyres. Softer rocks like limestone may pose less risk, while harder, abrasive rocks such as granite or quartz can quickly wear down tyres. pewag tyre protection chains are engineered to handle various rock types, providing the necessary protection and traction to keep your operation moving smoothly.
The hardness of the rock plays a crucial role in tyre wear. Based on the Mohs hardness scale, rocks can range from soft (talc) to extremely hard (diamond). The harder the rock, the more likely it is to cause damage. pewag chains are built to withstand the harshest conditions, offering superior protection even in environments with high-hardness materials like quartz or corundum.
When purchasing tyre protection chains, consider the type of terrain, machine specifications, and the weight your equipment handles. Opt for chains that offer high durability, reliable traction, and minimal downtime. pewag provides chains with an extended service life, optimized protection, and easy maintenance, ensuring you get the best performance and value for your investment.
