The new Galaxy HTSR tyre suits duties with off-highway dump trucks

The Galaxy Haul Truck Steel Radial 400 (HTSR 400) E-4/L-4 tyre is said to suit duties in harsh and demanding conditions such as quarries. The HTSR 400 is designed for dump trucks that face extreme environments while hauling heavy loads. The firm is offering the Galaxy HTSR 400 E4/L4 tyre in three sizes, including 23.5R25, 26.5R25 and 29.5R25. These were designed specifically for construction applications after extensive testing.

The Galaxy HTSR 400 range features a high tread depth that ensures consistent traction and greater cut resistance, for longer life in tough conditions. The presence of a special compound is said to ensure minimum heat build-up while the machine is being used for longer hauls. The range also offers better chip protection with an optimised belt design that provides high durability for reduced downtime.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Yardmaster Radial is an addition to the firm’s extensive range of forklift tyres. This is an all-steel radial tyre for forklift machines used for heavy-duty long cycle operations. This tyre is now available in three sizes, including two new sizes: 12.00R20 and 12.00R24, and the previously available size 10.00R20.

Galaxy Yardmaster Radial is specially designed for heavy tonnage forklifts that perform longer cycles of operations on difficult surfaces at higher speeds. The tyre’s radial construction is said to boost agility, riding comfort and fuel efficiency while the tread design is optimised to provide better stability and precision while performing operations. A special cut, chip and abrasion resistant compound ensures smooth running even on hard surfaces.
