The new Galaxy LHD 500 SDS is yet another traction and durability masterpiece made by Alliance
Tire Group’s Galaxy brand, and introduced on the occasion of BAUMA 2019. This Severe Duty Solid
(SDS) tire was specifically engineered to reliably cope with extreme working environments.
Designed to effectively turn the power of wheel loaders into traction, the LHD 500 SDS offers low
wear, a long service life and maximum productivity.
With the LHD 500 SDS, ATG further extends its already impressive solid tires portfolio for material
handling, construction, mining and waste management applications.
“Application specific, purpose built”
This general claim for Galaxy tires also applies to the innovative Galaxy LHD 500 SDS. This solid
tire was specifically developed for heavy duty industrial operations. The robust overall construction
with a deliberate traction tread pattern provides excellent grip. The special tread compounds not
only effectively protect the LHD 500 SDS against cuts, thus avoiding costly downtimes, but also
ensure low and even wear with minimal heat build-up. In addition, its high lug to void ratio
provides excellent machine stability and increases the service life.
Designed to withstand harsh terrains and extreme conditions, the BAUMA novelty LHD 500 SDS
ensures lowest cost of operation and maximum productivity. The single row aperture enhances the
riding comfort and also contributes to minimising the heat build-up. Build for drop down rim
operation, currently 3 sizes are available in LHD 500 SDS: Tire size 14.00-24 for rim 10.00-24, tire
size 14.00-25 for rim 10.00-25, and tire size 17.5-25 for rim 14.00-25.
Galaxy Solid Range for long service life at tough conditions
In various operations such as in waste management, metal recycling, construction & demolition
sites, mining etc., where punctures in pneumatic tires are the primary mode of equipment
downtime, Galaxy’s Severe Duty Solid tires offer three to four times the service life of pneumatic
tires.
Full rubber construction and special compounds ensure high resistance to abrasion whilst steel wire
creel beads provide the necessary strength to handle high torques and eliminate slippage of the
rim. The three-stage construction including a central cushion layer ensures a smooth and
comfortable ride.
The Galaxy range of solid tires also includes renowned treads such as Hulk SDS, Beefy Baby SDS,
Super Smooth SDS for skid steer loaders as well as Yardmaster SDS and Liftop SDS for material
handling with heavy forklifts.
All in all, ATG already has the most extensive tire portfolio in the industry: Almost 3,000 SKUs are
available and have contributed to the excellent reputation of Alliance Tire Group. By further
expanding the solid tire segment, ATG will be able to offer innovative solutions for even more
machines, applications, and tire sizes.
