protection that performs
A tire protection chain is a closed mesh of high alloy, hardened steel chains. These systems protect the tread and sidewalls of tires.
The chain mesh conforms to the tire's surface, creating a durable protective layer while allowing the tire to maintain normal operation.
Engineered to fit specific tire sizes and applications, tire protection chains are available in a variety of chain patterns and link designs to match different equipment and operating environments.
By combining durable materials with application-specific designs, Erlau® Tire Protection Chains deliver dependable performance in the harshest operating environments.
protecting what matters most
Machinery working in tough conditions can lead to tire failure that results in equipment downtime, loss of productivity, increased cost, and delays. TPC is an essential tool designed to prevent tire failure—and save you money.
By creating a protective barrier between the tire and the terrain, tire protection chains help equipment withstand harsh operating conditions, providing peace of mind to keep the job moving and your crew safe.

APPLICATIONS
Ultimate tire protection in a range of tough conditions.
The steelmaking and slag industries are two of the harshest environments for machines. The challenging materials involved subject tires to heavy abrasion and burning. Specially hardened forged wear links ensure optimal protection for tires working in these extreme heat conditions.
Mucky. Slippery. Sharp. Quarries are home to an array of hazardous materials that cause excessive damage and wear on a tire. A tire protection chain is the ideal solution for creating a barrier between the tires and the surface of the ground.
Whether working in an open pit or underground, mines are aggressive on a machine’s tires. Any unscheduled downtime due to tire failure is an unwanted and costly inconvenience. Protect your mining operations and your machine’s tires with ERLAU® TPC.
The biggest hazard to tires at scrap metal and recycling sites are often hidden. A loader crowding into a demolition heap can lead to pierced or burst tires instantly halting production while waiting for a replacement. TPC are the best way to prevent this happening to your tires.
