We have a wealth of experience in the construction, mining and utility sectors, designing and manufacturing solutions for both original equipment and aftermarket customers. Our precision-engineered products and systems have been developed to meet their demands for safety, productivity, higher payloads, flexibility and efficiency, together with driver comfort.
The combination of cost and performance have resulted in 3-piece wheels becoming the industry standard in some sectors. Lighter and more stable than 5-piece rims, these wheels make tyre-mounting safer, as the driver is in place before the tyre is inflated, and protect the driver from hazards.
The cost and performance benefits of 3 Piece Rims have resulted in this type of wheel becoming the industry-standard in some sectors.
With the driver on the outside, there is a constant risk of damage (or even destruction) as a result of stone impacts or aggressive conditions. An inside driver is completely protected from such hazards.
When the driver is on the outside, wheel components must be adjusted to the correct position after the tyre is partly inflated to ensure the driver is also positioned correctly. However with a driver on the inside, tyre-mounting is safer as the driver is in place before the tyre is inflated. Wheels with the driver on the inside are also lighter and more stable.
Features

• Cost performance benefits over using a 5 Piece Wheel
• Inside drive means the driver is protected from hazards
• Tyre mounting is safer as the driver is in place before the tyre is inflated
• Lighter and more stable
