Underground Loader Tires for Mining Operations
Underground loaders, also known as load haul dump (LHD) machines, play a critical role in underground mining by loading and transporting materials through confined spaces. Operating on rough, uneven terrain while carrying heavy loads, these vehicles require tires that support traction, stability and durability. Discover Michelin underground loader tires and solutions designed for demanding mining conditions.
Underground loaders, also known as load haul dump (LHD) machines, operate in challenging mining environments where space is limited and terrain can be rough and uneven. These vehicles repeatedly load, transport and dump heavy materials, making tire selection important for supporting safety, productivity and equipment performance.
When selecting underground loader tires, consider the following operating requirements:
Michelin offers underground loader tires designed for demanding mining applications. Explore the tire options below to find solutions suited to your equipment and operating conditions.
Managing tire performance is an important part of maintaining productivity in underground mining operations. Regular tire inspections, proper maintenance and effective tire management practices can help reduce unexpected downtime and support equipment reliability. Explore solutions designed to help mining operators manage their tires and rims.
KLINGE provides tire management systems for mining operations, along with tire and rim management audits and training to help teams strengthen tire and rim management practices across the operation.

Choosing the right underground loader tires depends on your equipment's load requirements, operating conditions and mine environment. Load haul dump (LHD) machines frequently operate on rough, abrasive surfaces while carrying heavy materials through confined underground spaces.
Consider factors such as load capacity, traction, resistance to cuts and sidewall damage, and operating cycles. Select tires that meet your equipment manufacturer's specifications and are appropriate for your mining conditions. Michelin tire experts can help you evaluate available options.
Radial and bias-ply tires differ in their internal construction, which affects how they perform under demanding operating conditions. Radial tires have flexible sidewalls and a reinforced tread area, which can help support traction, heat management and more consistent tread wear.
Bias-ply tires have overlapping diagonal plies that create a different balance of stiffness and flexibility. The best choice depends on equipment requirements, operating conditions and the tire's intended application.

Underground loader tire life varies depending on terrain, equipment loads, operating speeds, travel distances and maintenance practices. Abrasive surfaces, sharp rocks and repeated loading cycles can contribute to tire wear and damage.
Regular tire inspections, proper inflation and monitoring operating conditions can help support tire longevity and reduce the risk of unexpected downtime.
Proper tire inflation is important for maintaining equipment stability, managing heat buildup and supporting tire performance in underground mining operations. Both underinflation and overinflation can contribute to uneven wear, tire damage and handling concerns.
Regularly inspect tire condition and check inflation pressure according to the tire manufacturer's recommendations for your specific equipment, loads and operating conditions.
