Mining Tyres | Off The Road Tyres | OTR Tyres
SELECTION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE OF OTR (OFF THE ROAD) TYRES
Uses and characteristics of OTR.
The qualities which OTR must possess differ somewhat according to the function they must serve and the type of vehicles on which they are mounted.

Tyres are two types.
# Bias Tyre.
# Radial tyre.
# Structure and functions of OTR components.
* Steel radial type: - consists of four primary components. Casing piles, beads, belts and tread. These four components are primarily responsible for the tyre’s fundamental characteristics.
# Proper Tyre selection: -
In selecting the tyres suited for your specific requirements, all the factors which may affect the tyre must be taken in to account.
The following conditions, for example, make selection of the proper tyre more difficult.
* When climate changes are extreme (temperature, rain fall)
* When several types of vehicles by different makers are in use.
* When tyres are subject to hazards by both heat and cutting at the same time.
In these cases, the worst possible conditions should be estimated and tyres selected to meet those conditions.
¤ Type of vehicle
* Make, model.
* Maximum capacity of load.
* Maximum speed and horse power.
* Tyre size, star rating and ply rating.
¤ Operating conditions
* Climate
* Roads
* Operating speed
* Operating load
* Operating Tons KM per Hour
* Maintenance
¤ Performance expected
* Serviceability expected
* Heat and cut resistance
* Re capability
* Maneuverability
* Customer’s requirements
¤ Selection
*Correct tyre size, star rating and ply rating, type and tread pattern
*Correct specification of tyres.
*Correct inflation pressures.
¤ Proper tyre use
To get the most out of your tyres, tyres should be used correctly. Misuse of tyres will be inevitably resulting in rapid wearing and shortened serviceability, in some cases there is even a danger of ACCIDENTS.
To use tyres correctly the following five points must be observed with co-operation from five members of your staff
.
* Correct inflation pressures: - Tyre man
* Specified load: - Shovel operator
* Prescribed vehicle speed: - Driver
* Proper vehicle maintenance: - Mechanics
* Full road maintenance: - Road maintenance staff
# Storage and Transportation of OTR
Tyre stock is divided in to New, Used and Worn out tyres.
¤ Grouping
* New tyres (not mounted on rims)
* New/used tyres (mounted on rims)
* Demounted tyres…..worn out, to be repaired
* Spare tyres (re usable, repaired, recapped)
* Scrapped tyres
# Method of storage
¤ New tyres
* Indoor storage. A cool, dark, dryplace.
* Outdoor storage. Covered with water proof tarpaulin.
* Tyres not mounted on rims must not be laid on top of one another.
* Keep away from motors, power switch boxes and cables, fuels and lubricants.
* Keep fire extinguisher ready for use.
* Do not remove bead protector or steel band until you are ready to mount the tyre.
¤ Used tyres
* Storage methods are the same as those used for new tyres.
* Remove stones and nails from tyres before storage.
* Attach a tag showing the tyre’s outer diameter for easy reference when the tyre is used again.
¤ Tyres on vehicles (when vehicle is not in operation)
* If possible, place the vehicle on jacks to keep the weight off the tyres.
* Cover tyres with tarpaulin.
* If the vehicle cannot be placed on jacks, move the vehicle once a month to prevent permanent distortion of tyres and keep the inflation pressure as prescribed.
* Do not paint tyres.
¤ Tubes
* New tubes should be kept packaged and in a cool, dry place.
* Used tubes should be deflated, cleaned and stored.
* Arrange tubes in storage by size.

DHANBAD BASANTIMATA MINE ACCIDENT
DHANBAD BASANTIMATA MINE ACCIDENT WITH DETAILED TIMELINE
05:44 PM 12-Nov-2013
DHANBAD: Search for the four trapped miners ended after 28 hours with the recovery of three more bodies today from the Basantimata coal mine here, the roof of which had caved in. "The bodies of Sitaram Majhi, Litu Saha, and Assistant Manager Arup Chatterjee were extricated today with the help of professional well diggers," BCCL sources said. The body of another miner, Heera Lal, was brought out yesterday. All the bodies were sent for post-mortem. The mine accident occurred when the roof of the Basantimata mine caved in at 11.15 am yesterday during an inspection by colliery officials. The last body was brought out at 3.40 pm today. Rescue teams of BCCL and ECL were unable to extricate the bodies and the help of professional well diggers of nearby Nirsa area was sought, General Manager of the Chanch/Victoria area of BCCL in which the mine falls, T S Mandal said. Over 20 diggers pierced the collapsed roof and brought out the bodies.
BCCL Chief General Manager T K Lahiri today said there must have been some mistake in selecting the spot where the mining was on. An enquiry has been ordered into the accident, Lahiri said adding compensation and job to the family members of the deceased would be made as per normal.
09:24 AM 12-Nov-2013
4 bodies recovered; trapped miners rescued
Dhanbad: Bodies of the four miners, who were trapped in a colliery in Dhanbad have been taken out. The remaining trapped miners have also been rescued. At least 20 people were left trapped in the Basantimata colliery in Dhanbad in Jharkhand on Monday after a roof caved in at a BCCL coal mine, leading to suspension of mining activities at the site. Bharat Coking Coal (BCCL) Chairman and Managing Director Tapas Kumar Lahiry has said that the Basantimata mine in the Chanch/Victoria area caved in at about 11 am on Monday during an inspection by colliery officials after the night shift.
The incident occurred during a break between shifts, Lahiry said, adding that generally about 100 miners work in one shift. The four employees trapped inside were Heera Lal and Sitaram Majhi, besides Litu Saha and Arup Chatterjee, he said. Dhanbad-based BCCL, a Coal India subsidiary, accounts for almost 50 per cent of the total prime coking coal requirement of the integrated steel sector.

Although no official report has been
issued so far, there are four casualties, one more than the initial three when reports first came in.

World's NEW Largest Dumper Truck
Belaz 75710 is more than 65ft long, 26ft high and can carry 450 tons of debris.
It can even thunder along at 40mph. The Belaz 75710 was unveiled today and its makers in the former Soviet republic of Belarus plan to submit it for inclusion in the Guinness Book of Records.
Belaz debuted its latest dump truck last month, and the Belarusian company claims it to be the biggest in the world. The 75710 can carry a staggering 496-ton (equivalent to 450 metric tons) payload, and will be used in open mines on temporary roads. To put the size of the truck into perspective, take a look at one of its eight tires, which is twice as tall as an average-size person!
Two 16-cylinder turbocharged diesel engines with a combined capacity of 130 liters power the mining truck, with help from an electromechanical transmission to put the power to the ground. Each engine produces 2,300 horsepower for a combined 4,600 hp, yet that number seems paltry when considering the combined torque rating: 13,738 pound-feet of torque! All that power nets a top speed of just 40 miles per hour, but at least the weight distribution evens out with a full payload. Speaking of full payloads, the truck has a max weight of 893 tons filled to the brim.Belaz's chief designer for mining vehicles, Leonid Trukhnov, says the 75710 is the first 496-ton mining truck made, and the company is submitting documents to claim a Guinness World Record.
Watch the images of the Belaz 75710 below, and notice how small people standing next to it look compared to the enormous machine.
