Traction 15×28 One-Piece Rim Solution for John Deere Backhoe Loaders
John Deere backhoe loaders are known for their versatility, combining digging, loading, lifting, and material handling. From urban infrastructure projects and road maintenance to agriculture, landscaping, and utility construction, these machines frequently operate in rugged terrain, mud, gravel, rock, and other harsh environments.
Such harsh operating environments place enormous demands on wheel systems. Wheel rims must be able to withstand continuous heavy loads, repeated impacts, high torque, and frequent movement between work sites, while maintaining structural integrity and operational safety.
To meet these requirements, Traction's R&D team developed a 15×28 one-piece rim specifically for John Deere backhoe loaders, offering superior durability, reliability, and long-term performance.
Traction's 15×28 one-piece rim is specifically designed for John Deere backhoe loaders to withstand continuous heavy loads, repeated impacts, and high torque in harsh environments.
Contact UsUnlike standard rims, the Traction 15×28 one-piece rim is designed for continuous heavy-duty operations.
Its optimized structural design provides higher overall rigidity and structural stability during excavation and loading cycles, effectively withstanding the impact and torsional loads generated by the excavator loader during excavation, loading, steering, and high-speed travel.
Excavators and loaders need to frequently switch between different working conditions, from hard rocks and gravel roads to muddy construction sites and rugged terrain, and the wheel rims are subjected to high loads and continuous impacts for a long time.
Traction uses high-strength, high-quality steel produced in-house and employs an optimized structural design to improve the rim's impact resistance, fatigue resistance, and deformation resistance, ensuring continuous and stable operation of the equipment, thereby maximizing machine uptime and reducing maintenance costs.
Traction's biggest competitive advantages is its fully integrated manufacturing system. Unlike many Wheel Rim Manufacturers that outsource key production processes, Traction independently controls every critical manufacturing step:
Steel rolling → Rim section forming → Precision rolling and welding → Mold Design → Automated welding → shot peening → powder coating steel rolling → comprehensive dimensional and performance testing.

Traction's ability to independently produce rim steel is a watershed moment in the Otr Rim industry, representing a high-end manufacturing capability. The advantages it brings go far beyond simply "making its own materials"; it determines the safety ceiling, consistency, and long-term reliability of the rim from the very beginning.
The safety and lifespan of OTR rims are determined from the source of materials. This ensures that the product surpasses ordinary standard rims in concentricity, fatigue resistance, weld strength, and service life. High-strength, high-quality steel guarantees excellent fatigue and impact resistance.
It possesses a complete industrial chain production from steel to finished wheel rims, including steel rolling, mold design, high-precision forming, automated welding, surface treatment, and finished product inspection. This "one-stop" production model ensures that all products meet uniform high standards, truly realizing full-chain manufacturing and quality control of wheel rims.
Construction machinery operates under constantly changing loads and harsh working environments. Each wheel rim must balance strength, weight, fatigue resistance, and dimensional accuracy.
As one of the world's top three OTR wheel and rim solutions providers, Traction With over 30 years of extensive manufacturing experience, our engineering team continuously improves rim structures through finite element analysis, production optimization, and application-based testing.
The 15×28 one-piece rim is designed to provide:
- Higher structural strength
- Longer fatigue life
- More precise tire mounting
- Greater impact resistance
- Longer maintenance intervals
- Lower total operating costs
Every design goal is aimed at increasing machine productivity while reducing downtime in demanding field operations.
Traction maintains rigorous quality control from raw materials to finished rims, ensuring quality at every stage of production, from raw material procurement to finished product delivery. Relying on a comprehensive quality management system and advanced testing equipment, every 15×28 1PC rim undergoes strict and comprehensive quality inspection to ensure it meets the requirements of John Deere backhoe loaders under high load and complex working conditions.
