Traditional pneumatic (air-filled) mining tires experience massive premature failure rates in harsh environments. The majority failing before they naturally wear out.

They are highly vulnerable to punctures, sidewall cuts, and heat related fatigue.

When a tire fails the economic impact is severe; unplanned vehicle downtime costs thousands per hour.

Standard tires rely on highly pressurized air, posing significant, and sometimes fatal safety hazards to workers.

Arrowhead Dynamics has developed a proprietary non-pneumatic (airless) haul truck tire engineered specifically for ultra-class mining vehicles.

This High-Survivability Wheel Architecture completely eliminates the use of pressurized air, erasing the risk of catastrophic blowouts.

The tire features a highly modular, segmented design that allows field operators to easily replace individual damaged parts on site in an emergency.

The design utilizes an advanced heavy duty Damping Element Assembly (DEA) that provides the necessary deflection to maintain traction and ride quality over rough, unpredictable terrain.

Unlike traditional pneumatic cylinders or hydraulic systems, these shock absorbing elements are entirely free of seals or pressurized fluids.

This dry, mechanical approach ensures consistent performance in extreme temperatures and eliminates common maintenance headaches.

By removing the pressurized air, the danger of explosive pressure releases during operation or routine maintenance is completely eliminated.

The tire is completely immune to traditional punctures, which are the leading cause of premature tire failure.

Instead of removing a vehicle from service to replace a massive 15,000 pound tire assembly, operators can simply unbolt and replace a specific worn component using standard tools right in the field.

While the initial investment in the non-pneumatic wheel assembly is higher than purchasing a traditional rubber tire, the long term economics heavily favor the modular design.

Because the core structural components are built from high strength steel to last the lifespan of the haul truck, fleets only need to pay for the periodic replacement of high wear parts, like the outer tread segments.

Over the operational life of an ultra-class (400-Ton) haul truck, the Arrowhead Dynamics system is projected to save mining operations millions of dollars per vehicle in maintenance, replacement, and recovered downtime costs.
