Mitas Launches Revolutionary EX-01 Tyre for Wheeled Excavators

This new member of the excavator tyre family is designed for paved roads and for demanding crushed stone or gravel terrains, which place high demands on tyres. With its all-steel construction, the new EX-01 tyre offers greater stability and high puncture resistance. “Dual-mounted tyres are often damaged by stone ingress. To date, construction machinery manufacturers have protected the tyres with rubber rings. However, on the EX-01 tyre, we’ve solved the problem with a reinforced sidewall that ensures close contact between the tyres, preventing damage,” explained Jaroslav Musil, Mitas Product Manager for material
handling & construction tyres.
The radial construction used for the first time on Mitas excavator tyres increases the tyre’s lifespan while providing the operator a comfortable ride and low fuel consumption. The
shaped shoulder of the new EX-01 tread ensures an effective grip on soft surfaces, while the thicker central tread improves stability and smooth running on hard surfaces. This new tyre is offered in a single size, the 315/80R22.5 EX-01. Its outer diameter is 1,103 mm, allowing a static load of 8,810 kg when inflated to 8.5 bars. Its load capacity is 3,380 kg at its top speed of 50 km/h.
“Mitas is committed to providing great tyres for excavators, " further confirmed by this new tyre. We believe that the radial construction of the EX-01 will prove successful in this segment and convince users of the advantages of radial tyres in these demanding conditions,” concluded Musil.
In addition to the EX-01, Mitas currently offers 15 other sizes of diagonal tyres for excavators with five different tread patterns, the EM-22, EM-23, NB-38, NB-38 Extra ML and TI-12.
In conclusion, Mitas has raised the bar for excavator tyres with the launch of its EX-01 tyre, featuring innovative radial construction and reinforced sidewalls. This new tyre is designed for challenging paved and gravel terrains and offers excellent stability and puncture resistance thanks to its all-steel construction. With the EX-01, Mitas continues to innovate and improve the performance of its tyres, providing solutions that meet the needs of even the most demanding excavation projects.
