Why is it necessary to use wheel chains for loaders?

Features of the best wheel loader chains to prevent tire damage

Compressed pattern (Close Mesh): This pattern has very close rings and creates the most surface coverage. This model is ideal for mines with very sharp stones because it does not allow any stone to contact the surface of the tire.
Open Mesh pattern: This pattern has more space between the rings and is more suitable for mud and dirt environments, because it is self-cleaning and removes mud from between the wheels.

Sidewall Cuts: Sharp stones can tear the sidewall of the tire, which is usually beyond repair. Protective chains with full wall covering reduce this risk to zero. The chain acts as a hard physical barrier.
Premature Wear: Moving on rough surfaces such as concrete or mineral asphalt causes rapid wear of the tread. By using the best wheel loader chain to prevent tire damage, the wear and tear happens on the chain and not on the expensive tire.

Tightening the chain: The chain should not be too loose and not too tight. A loose chain causes the rings to collide with each other and wear, and a chain that is too tight puts pressure on the tire. You should check the tension of the chain periodically according to the instructions of Abdolvand wheel chain.
Periodic inspection: After each shift, check the chain for broken rings or deformation. Defective parts should be replaced immediately.
Correct driving: The loader operator should be trained how to handle the wheel chain. Preventing wheels from spinning is the most important point in maintaining chain health.

Iron and copper mines: In these mines, the stones are very hard and sharp. Chains with high density and anti-wear alloys are essential. Hot Slag: In metal smelting plants, loaders move on molten material. Normal chains melt or soften here. For these environments, heat-resistant chains are required, which Abdolvand wheel chain can provide.
Marble and granite mines: Stone cutting creates sharp edges in these mines, which is a tire killer. Full armor chains are the best option.

Spreading the chain: Spread the chain completely and flat on the ground and make sure it is not twisted.
Moving the loader: Guide the loader slowly on the chain until the middle of the tire is exactly on the middle of the chain.
Closing the hooks: Connect the two ends of the chain using special tools and a winch (if needed) and tighten the connecting pins.
Tension adjustment: tighten the chain and after a few hours of operation, tighten it again.
