The SH216 R-4 is designed for small excavators and compact construction equipment used in municipal services, including CAT 301-306, Komatsu PC30-50, and Kubota U series excavators. Its R-4 tread pattern provides the traction and anti-skid properties needed for municipal applications such as utility installation, sidewalk repair, and drainage work. The tire is particularly effective in urban environments where equipment must operate on both soft soil and paved surfaces.

The SH216 R-4 excels in soil development and landscaping applications where consistent traction on loose soil is essential. The tread design provides good self-cleaning properties, preventing soil buildup between tread blocks that can reduce traction. In landscaping projects involving grading, trenching, and site preparation, this tire maintains reliable grip even in moist soil conditions. The anti-skid properties also provide safe operation when working on sloped terrain common in residential and commercial landscaping.

The SH216 R-4 load capacity varies by size, typically supporting 1,500-3,000 kg per tire depending on the specific dimensions. For small excavators in the 2-4 ton class, this provides adequate safety margin for normal digging and lifting operations. The tire construction includes reinforced sidewalls and bead areas to handle the lateral stresses encountered during excavation. Always verify that the tire load rating exceeds your excavator maximum axle load for safe operation.

Yes, the SH216 R-4 is well-suited for wet and muddy construction conditions commonly encountered during rainy seasons in South America. The R-4 tread pattern provides effective water evacuation and mud release, maintaining traction on slippery surfaces. In municipal projects that continue through wet weather, this tire anti-skid properties help prevent slipping on wet clay and mud. The tread compound also resists degradation from prolonged exposure to moisture and mud.

The SH216 R-4 is available in standard small excavator sizes including 12-16.5, 15.5-25, and 17.5-25, with custom sizes available upon request.
