36.00-25/1.5 Rim Built for Heavy-Duty Transport — Traction Helps Volvo A30 Unleash Superior Performance
In the fields of mining and large-scale earthmoving, articulated dump trucks are evolving towards higher efficiency, greater payloads, and more complex working conditions. As a classic medium-to-large ADT equipment, the Volvo A30 demands higher strength and stability from its wheel system in heavy-duty application scenarios.
To address this demand, Traction has introduced the 36.00-25/1.5 3PC large rim solution, providing stronger structural support, superior reliability, and a longer service life for the Volvo A30 under extreme working conditions.
The 36.00-25/1.5 rim is a 3-piece structure rim designed for tubeless (TL) tires, commonly used on articulated trucks. Traction serves as the OEM rim supplier in China for Volvo, Caterpillar, Liebherr, John Deere, and Doosan.
Contact UsFrom standard transport to heavy-duty reinforced conditions, the Volvo A30 is widely used in: open-pit mining heavy transport, large quarries, long-distance earthmoving hauling, and high-impact complex road construction sites.
Under high-intensity operating modes, long-cycle continuous operations face continuous full-load impacts, high-frequency braking and acceleration loads, and severe vibrations on gravel roads. These conditions place higher demands on the load-bearing capacity and structural stability of the rim system.
Exceptional Load Capacity for Extreme Heavy-Duty Transport
Traction's technical R&D team designed the 36.00-25/1.5 rim based on its harsh operating environments, using high-strength specialized steel for engineering machinery to significantly improve overall load capacity through structural reinforcement. Compared to standard specifications, this product features higher structural rigidity, better deformation resistance, and optimized load distribution, effectively supporting the long-term stable operation of the Volvo A30 in heavy-duty mining environments.
3PC Structural Design, Balancing Strength and Maintenance Efficiency
The 3PC structural design makes on-site maintenance and disassembly more convenient, reducing mining downtime, increasing tire replacement efficiency, and accommodating multiple duty cycles. In high-intensity mining operations, it significantly enhances equipment availability.
Optimized Structural Design to Enhance Impact Resistance
Mining transportation environments are full of unpredictable impacts, such as rock collisions, pothole impact loads, and high-frequency vibration fatigue. By utilizing self-produced high-strength specialized steel sections for rims, optimizing the welding structure, and strictly controlling dimensions and roundness, Traction ensures that the rim maintains stable performance under long-term impact conditions, effectively extending its service life.
Improving Overall Vehicle Operational Economy
The 36.00-25/1.5 rim features a high-compatibility design with OTR tires, which effectively extends tire life, reduces abnormal wear, lowers down-time maintenance frequency, and improves transport efficiency—thereby reducing overall operating costs and increasing the economic returns of mining fleets.
