Surface Mining Wheels

RIMEX wheels outperform our competitors with stronger lock rings, heavier flanges and fully machined, precision gutter discs. The results are increased wheel life, efficiency and dependability. Our customers not only save time and money, but also ensure their operations are the most productive and safest possible.

To guarantee service and performance for years to come, RIMEX continues to work with leading tire manufacturers in perfecting wheel and rim designs for future success. And remember, we can custom manufacture wheels and rims to suit your specifications.

RIMEX manufactures wheels and rims for all types of heavy machinery operating in a wide range of applications in many different industrial sectors. In surface mining applications, for example, RIMEX wheels and rims are commonly found on these machines:

Taper Secure Radial (TSR) Series

The unique design of the Taper Secure Radial (TSR) Series uses a taper concept to secure all components in place. Absolute stability of components and the tire is achieved as movement between parts is eliminated. When the tire is inflated, the rim parts lock into their tapered landing areas.

The key benefit of the TSR design is absolute tire support. The wheel flanges DO NOT MOVE on the wheel base. The tire is anchored with complete stability and no air pressure is lost. As well as extending tire life, the life of rim components is increased as there is no wearing or fatiguing of the parts from component movement.

Machined Extreme Service (MES) Series

Fully machined and truly round in critical areas
Knurless back section and bead seat bands have 75% more contact area than comparable rim products.
Increased component thickness

Available in wheel sizes from 20″ – 63″

Available in standard 5-piece assembly and as Double Gutter Service (DGS) / Integral Gutter Lock Ring (IGLR) assemblies

Each MES wheel is custom manufactured for precise fitment to the specified machine

Double Gutter Service (DGS) Series

The revolutionary Double Gutter Service (DGS) Series is a RIMEX TSR wheel/rim assembly with two bead bands, two side rings, one two-piece lock ring and one standard lock ring. The DGS was developed as a position-sensitive outer dual so the inside tire could be easily mounted/demounted without removing the outer wheel/rim base. It is designed with safety and time savings in mind — tire changes are completed in a fraction of the time.

RIMEX DGS wheels can be installed to haul truck outer dual positions without upgrading the inner dual wheels. Now the inner dual tires can be changed without removing the outer dual.

Integral Gutter Lock Ring (IGLR) Series

Available in wheel sizes: 25” – 63”

IGLR wheels are designed for the front steer and inner dual positions.
When IGLR wheels are installed on all four loader wheel positions, tire changes become quick and easy; allowing stubborn tire beads to be dealt with when time permits.
IGLR components can be premounted, using the RIMEX Premounting Stand, which significantly reduces tire servicing downtime.

Machined Standard Taper (MST) Series

Taper design is superior to standard designed products
Fully machined and truly round in critical areas
Tire beads are secure and stable reducing air loss, preventing wear, and helping to keep tire cooler
Knurless design eliminates indexing or slippage between bead band and tire bead

Available in 57″ and 63″ sizes in either standard 5-pieces, Double Gutter Service (DGS), or Integral Gutter Lock Ring (IGLR) assemblies.

Each MST wheel is custom manufactured for precise fitment to the specified machine

EMH Lock Ring

The EMH lock ring is designed to meet the need for a stronger and safer rim to suit the high pressures and increased loads of many earthmoving and industrial applications without compromising safety. This product can be produced utilizing MES and TSR components.

By developing a thicker, stronger lock ring RIMEX is able to offer improved strength and capacity in a RIMEX wheel with only minor design adjustments. The EMH lock ring is utilized with both MES and TSR series wheels.

With the MES Series wheel, the only difference in the rim design is the lock ring and lock ring groove in the rim. The MES Series wheel assembly remains fully compatible with standard side rings and bead seat bands. An EMH style wheel allows for increased pressures and stresses without sacrificing safety concerns; as standard wheels are not safely rated for high air pressures or loads. Sizes available are 24” through 49” rim diameters.
