ERLAU TPC is a flexible mesh of specially-designed, interlocking rings and links of varying size and density that wrap around the tread and sidewalls of all types and sizes of earthmover tires (tyres) forming a barrier between the tire and the surface and thus protecting them from abrasion, piercing and intense heat, extending tire life by as much as five times and providing additional traction and operational safety without affecting the flexibility and function of the tyre.
ERLAU TPC tire protection and traction chains are considered essential equipment in many industries including:
ERLAU TPC tire protection and traction chains are required to protect the tires of:
ERLAU TPC tire protection chains are required to protect expensive earthmover tires from attrition from harsh rocks such as quartz, sandstones, ironstone and Kimberlite.
ERLAU TPC tire protection chains are required to protect expensive earthmover tires from sudden-death sidewall punctures from aggressive materials such as flints, slate, shales, metal shards and reinforcing bar.
In steel-making, ERLAU TPC tire protection chains are required to protect the tires of pot-carriers and steel slag-re-handling loaders from intense heat, abrasion and sidewall piercing.
ERLAU TPC tire traction chains are required to provide operators with safer control of mobile plant over ice, snow, clay, tundra and soft ground.
ERLAU TPC tire protection chains are essential in driving down handling costs.
Fitting ERLAU TPC tire protection and traction chains can:

Founded in 1875, ERLAU TPC is a leading division of an international, family-owned manufacturer of high-quality round-link chains.
70 years ago, ERLAU TPC was the first to adapt their snow chain technology to protect loading shovel and dump truck tires.
Today, with a dominant, 65% of the world market, ERLAU TPC is the leading manufacturer and supplier of top-quality, well-engineered, heavy-duty, round-link tire protection and traction chains and components.
ERLAU has 140 years of experience in round-link chain manufacturing, a high degree of technological specialisation, quality, safety and customer-focused market leadership.
Where load and haul is a central component of your operation, optimising mobile plant availability is the key to success and this success depends on skilled staff and a rigorous maintenance schedule with particular attention to the tyres. For, without a full set of sound tyres, a loader or a truck is just an expensive lump of idle metal.
The Lace Diamond Mine (LDM) is located near the town of Kroonstad, Free State, South Africa. The mine lies about 200km south-west of the capital city, Johannesburg.
This new component promises measurable savings in time, reusability and safety.
ERLAU TPC supplies 40 sets of traction chains to Barrick’ world-class gold/ silver/ copper project - high in the Southern Andes and the World’s first cross-border mine.
ERLAU TPC introduces Sideflex - innovative sidewall protection for haul truck tires.
ERLAU TPC protects the tyres of a giant LeTourneau 1850 on load-out duties at Xstrata’s latest coal mine in Australia’s Hunter Valley.
ERLAU TPC saves LeTourneau’s tyres at Artic lake diamond mine.
ERLAU TPC industrial applications.
ERLAU TPC winning 10m tonnes of cement for Ethiopia's Millenium Dam.
ERLAU TPC keeps CAT 993F loading iron ore in Kazachstan.
From limestone extraction, coal mining, iron ore winning to recycling smouldering slag, ERLAU TPC tyre protection chains play a significant role in TATA’s steel production process in India.
