Industrial and agricultural tire 460/70 R24 — a professional solution
for forklifts and special equipment
460/70 R24 tires are a universal industrial and agricultural format widely used in telehandlers, front loaders, backhoe loaders, special utility and agricultural machinery. Thanks to a powerful frame, high resistance to mechanical damage and a balanced tread, these tires withstand intensive use in the most difficult working conditions.
This type of tire is not intended for trucks. Its design was created specifically for machines that require maximum traction, stability, increased support area and the ability to work on soft, loose and uneven surfaces - where
ordinary truck tires simply cannot cope with the loads.
What does the marking 460/70 R24
mean
A correct understanding of tire parameters helps to choose a model that will match the equipment and working conditions.
460 is the width of the tire profile in millimeters. This indicator provides a wide contact patch, increases the stability of the loader or backhoe loader and improves the passability of the equipment on soil or crushed stone surfaces.
70 is the ratio of the height of the profile to its width in percent. The high profile absorbs shock and reduces vibration, which is important when working on stone, earth, concrete or asphalt industrial sites.
R is a radial type of construction that guarantees increased strength, tread flexibility, less heating during operation and better cornering stability.
24 is the mounting diameter of the disc in inches. This is the standard size for most modern telehandlers and industrial special equipment.
Operating conditions — where the 460/70 R24
tire is most often used
Due to its reliability and versatility, this standard size is widely used in areas where equipment works under heavy loads:
* construction sites — carrying out lifting and loading and unloading works on concrete, soil, gravel;
* quarries — movement over stones, loose rocks and mixed cover;
* farms - work on soft soils, silage pits, while moving equipment with trailers;
* communal enterprises — work in the conditions of urban infrastructure (road works, cleaning, repair processes);
* production complexes — movement of goods in closed and open industrial territories.
A high resource, a strong side layer, a thick protector and a rigid frame ensure wear resistance even with daily intensive use.
Technical features and design advantages
In order for the equipment to work flawlessly, the tire must meet increased safety and load requirements. 460/70 R24 tires have the following characteristics:
1. Reinforced sidewall
Protects against cuts, shock loads and punctures that often occur during construction or quarry work.
2. Effective tread pattern
Depending on the model, it can be:
* industrial R-4 — for mixed surfaces;
* agricultural R-1W — for work in the field, on wet or soft soil;
* mixed multifunctional — for urban and industrial conditions.
The depth of the tread allows you to use the tire longer without losing traction.
3. Steel breaker (on some models)
Increases the strength of the frame and evenly distributes the load, ensuring the stability of the equipment even when fully loaded.
4. Resistance to elevated temperature
The radial design minimizes heating, which allows the equipment to work longer without overheating the tires.
5. High carrying capacity
460/70 R24 tires are designed for significant static and dynamic loads, which makes them ideal for heavy special equipment.
460/70 R24 tires are installed on which equipment
Tires of this size are used in a wide range of machines, including:
* telescopic loaders Manitou, JCB, Merlo, New Holland;
* backhoe loaders of various brands;
* middle class front loaders;
* multifunctional utility equipment;
* agricultural machinery operating in mixed conditions;
* industrial machines that need strong and reliable tires on a radial frame.
