China Suppliers Factory Hot Metal Ladle Truck and Ladle Transfer Truck for Heavy-Duty Molten Iron Transport
Products Description
The use of solid tires on molten iron trucks (also known as molten iron ladles or steel ladles) in steel plants is crucial, especially in the harsh conditions of high temperatures and heavy loads. Molten iron trucks are responsible for transporting molten iron, which requires tires to have exceptional durability, safety, and stability. Here are the advantages of using solid tires in this extreme environment:
The temperature in steel plants is extremely high, especially near the molten iron. Ordinary tires can easily be damaged by these high temperatures. Solid tires are made from heat-resistant materials, allowing them to be used for extended periods in such conditions without softening or damage.
Molten iron trucks transport very heavy loads, and solid tires have an exceptionally high load-bearing capacity. They can withstand the immense weight of both the vehicle and the molten iron, preventing tire deformation or blowouts.
The stability of molten iron trucks is critical. Solid tires provide excellent traction and stability, ensuring smooth operation during heavy transport, thereby minimizing the risk of accidents due to tire issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Solid tires are preferred because they eliminate the risk of tire blowouts entirely. In the extreme environments of steel plants, safety is paramount, and solid tires ensure stable, uninterrupted transport under heavy loads and high temperatures.
These solid tires are engineered using specialized, high-grade heat-resistant rubber compounds. This prevents the tires from softening, deforming, or degrading even when operating near intense heat sources like molten iron ladles.
Depending on the specific tire size, the load capacity can reach up to 8,595 kg per tire (for the 14.00-24 size) at speeds up to 25 km/h, which easily accommodates the immense weight of molten iron ladles.
We offer various patterns including R700, R701, R705, and R706, designed to optimize traction, heat dissipation, and load distribution based on your specific vehicle and floor conditions.
Yes, our solid tires are designed to fit standard industrial rim sizes ranging from 6.50 up to 10.00, ensuring a secure fit and easy installation on most common ladle transfer and molten iron trucks.
