DETERMINING PRESSURES FOR COMPACTORS
XLC TYRE HOW TO PROCEED
The choice of tyre and its working pressure depends on the material to be compacted, the type of work to be carried out and the operating speed. Please refer to the information and operating guidelines supplied by the machine manufacturer and use the tables Tyre loads and pressures for COMPACTORS.

DETERMINING PRESSURES FOR ROADBUILDING MACHINERY (PLANERS, STABILISER MIXERS, PAVERS)

HOW TO PROCEED
There are no tyres made specically for this type of machinery. Tyres should be chosen according to their average speed capabilities in relation to those of the machine and their load capacity. All these machines operate at 2 speeds: a transport or travelling speed and a work speed. When moving at their transport speed, (up to 25km/h), the weight carried by the tyres is that of the machine alone. Once the load per tyre has been determined, refer to the load/pressure table which corresponds best to the speed at which the selected tyre is to be used. example: - for a 14.00 R 24 XGLA2, at a speed of 25 km/h, use the load/pressure table for Graders, at a speed of 10 km/h, use the load/pressure table for Loaders, front laden. - for a 18.00 R 25 XVC, use the load/pressure table for Cranes at the speed required. When travelling at their work speed (between 1 to 3km/h), the total weight carried by the tyres includes that of the load as well as the machine itself. Once the load per tyre has been determined, refer to the load/pressure table which corresponds best to the speed at which the selected tyre is to be used. example: - for a 14.00 R 24 XGLA2, use the load/pressure table for Loaders front tipping. - for a 18.00 R 25 XVC, load/pressure table for Cranes at 2 or 5 km/h. In each case, once the load per tyre has been determined, apply the higher pressure. In most cases this will be the pressure recommended at transport speed.

CALCULATING THE LOAD PER TYRE

If the load per axle is not known (no machine manufacturers information available and no possibility of a physical weighing), follow the instructions below.

TRAVELLING MACHINES:
For cold Planers and Stabiliser Mixers: load per axle on pneumatic tyres = 50% of machine weight. For Pavers: load per axle on pneumatic tyres = 80% of machine weight / number of axles.

LOADED/WORKING MACHINES:
For cold Planers and Stabiliser Mixers: load per axle = 50% of machine weight + payload. For Pavers: load per axle on pneumatic tyres = 30% machine weight+ maximum load of the container bin / number of axles.
