Underground Mining Wheels
After more than 25 years of continually enhancing the quality and performance of our wheels, Big Tyre is now the preferred supplier to Australia's principal OEM companies as well as Equipment Hire companies.
Big Tyre has developed a high quality bonding technique for adhering rubber to steel which is crucial for providing wheels that can be relied on to perform well for years in severe working conditions.
To ensure optimum performance in highly abrasive conditions, Big Tyre uses premium grade rubber compounds that have been developed over many years to provide very high cut and abrasion resistance.
