Which material is more wear-resistant for high-altitude work vehicle tires?

The material of high-altitude work vehicle tires is crucial for their wear resistance. When selecting suitable materials, many factors need to be considered, such as road conditions, usage environment, and needs. At present, the common tire materials for high-altitude work vehicles in the market include solid tires, rubber tires, and polyurethane tires.

Solid tire is a high-strength tire composed of rubber, steel wire, and adhesive. The advantage of a solid tire is its excellent wear resistance. It can be used in various harsh working environments and can withstand heavy loads and high-speed operation. The main drawback of solid tires is that they have poor elasticity and are not suitable for use on uneven roads, which can have a certain impact on the comfort of the vehicle and driver.

Rubber tire is a type of tire composed of rubber and a woven layer with a steel frame. Compared to solid tires, rubber tires have slightly inferior wear resistance. However, rubber tires have good elasticity and shock absorption ability, which can adapt to uneven road surfaces and complex working environments. In addition, rubber tires also have good anti-aging and chemical corrosion resistance. Therefore, rubber tires are widely used in high-altitude work vehicles.

Polyurethane tire is a type of tire made of polyurethane material. Polyurethane tires have better wear resistance compared to rubber tires and can withstand harsher working environments and heavy loads. The elasticity and shock absorption ability of polyurethane tires are also very good, so there is less occurrence of tire bursts during use. It is worth mentioning that the price of polyurethane tires is relatively high, so it is necessary to fully consider the actual economic situation when choosing.

In addition to the materials mentioned above, there are also some new materials that have been applied in the manufacturing of high-altitude work vehicle tires. For example, hard rubber tires, airbag tires, and polyester tires. These materials have good wear resistance and can adapt to various road surfaces and working environments. However, the cost of new materials is relatively high, and they are still in the stage of continuous research and development and improvement, and have not been widely used in the market.
