Global Air Cylinder Wheels Introduces the Disruptive Eco-Friendly Wheel that Replaces the Pollutive Rubber Tire at a Lower Cost of Ownership

▤ Summary

These individual treads can be replaced without removing the wheel, a time-consuming process that takes up to eight hours with OTR rubber tires. GAWCs wheel technology has been tested in real-world conditions, and the company has been developing the ASW for OTR mining vehicles since 2015. Rapid wear and tear caused by impacts, rock cuts, and extreme and uneven loading mean the lifespan of an expensive mining tire is short. By contrast, the ASW is durable and designed to have the same lifespan as the vehicle itself, (approximately 10-15 years), meaning fewer replacement costs and less time spent swapping out damaged tires. In the next two years, the company expects ASW will be fully commercialized with rapid adoption into mining fleets.
