All of the ERL/ERD line is radial with a steel-enforced carcass and steel breakers. ERL tires are for loader and grader machinery, and ERD tires are for transport vehicles. These include wheel loaders, dozers and graders, and dumpers and scrapers.

“Mitas developed the FLR and SC tires based on steel radial technology, which allows for the handling of extremely heavy loads,” Hala explained. “The SC-01 is made stable to minimize lateral movement of the straddle carrier where the driver sits at the very top of the five-storey vehicle. This translates to ride comfort.”
