Leveraging Mining Tyre Management For Cost And Emissions Gains

In open-pit mining, loading and haulage typically account for around 50–60 per cent of total operating costs, making efficiency gains in this area critical to overall mine performance. After fuel, tyres are usually the most expensive consumable in surface mining. A large metals operation can use up to 900 mining tyres each year, representing millions of dollars in operational expenditure. Preserving tyre life and improving tyre management practices is therefore a key lever for both cost control and operational resilience. A new white paper fr...
