The SH219 R-4 is designed for small excavators and compact machinery including CAT 301-306, Komatsu PC30-55, Kubota KX series, and Yanmar B/VIO series excavators. Its R-4 tread pattern provides excellent traction and anti-skid properties for construction, municipal services, and soil excavation applications. The tire is optimized for the specific operational requirements of compact equipment working in confined urban spaces common in South American cities.

The SH219 R-4 delivers reliable performance in municipal service applications such as utility maintenance, sidewalk and curb work, drainage installation, and street repair. The tread design provides good traction on both soil and paved surfaces, which is essential for municipal equipment that frequently transitions between job sites. The anti-skid properties ensure safe operation on wet pavement and during excavation in moist soil conditions. In municipal applications across South America, this tire offers the durability needed for daily stop-and-go operations.

The SH219 R-4 delivers competitive tread life in mixed-use applications involving both off-road excavation and on-road travel. Typical tread life ranges from 1,500-2,500 hours depending on surface conditions and maintenance. In municipal applications where equipment operates on a mix of soil, gravel, and asphalt, the R-4 compound provides balanced wear characteristics. Proper inflation pressure and regular tire rotation can extend service life by 15-20%. The tire is also retreadable for additional service cycles.

Yes, the SH219 R-4 is well-suited for excavation in clay and hard-packed soil conditions commonly encountered in South American construction and municipal projects. The R-4 tread pattern provides the traction needed to penetrate and excavate compacted soils, while the anti-skid properties maintain grip on clay surfaces that become slippery when wet. In soil excavation applications, the tire tread design also provides good self-cleaning to prevent clay buildup that can reduce traction and digging performance.

The SH219 R-4 incorporates several safety features for construction equipment operators. The anti-skid tread design provides reliable traction on wet and slippery surfaces, reducing the risk of sliding on sloped job sites. The reinforced sidewall construction protects against cuts and impacts from construction debris. The tire stable footprint also contributes to machine stability during digging operations. These safety features are particularly important in municipal applications where equipment often operates near workers and existing infrastructure.
