Recently, the list of the top 10 Chinese engineering tire companies in 2024 was announced.
The polyrubber reporter learned that the list is based on the sales revenue of engineering tires in 2023. Among them, Sailun ranked first in the list with 4.204 billion yuan in engineering tire sales.
It is understood that engineering tires, as a kind of special tires, usually have special performance characteristics and application ranges that are different from conventional tires. These tires have special requirements in terms of material selection, structural design, manufacturing process and use environment.
Since 2008, Sailun has set up a special tire project team, and without any experience and technology to learn from, it has cooperated with the upstream and downstream industrial chain to carry out original innovation, which has lasted more than ten years to solve a series of problems such as independent research and development of localized special tire production equipment.
In order to adapt to the working environment of heavy equipment, the special tires used in construction machinery have extremely high requirements in terms of load capacity and anti-wear performance. Sailun continues to cultivate in the field of engineering tires and launches a full range of engineering tire products. After nearly two years of road tests in a large open-pit coal mine in China, the world's largest 63-inch giant engineering tire has reached the international advanced level, solving the problem of "stuck neck" of the tires of key components of heavy-duty trucks used in open-pit mines.
In the field of supporting equipment, Sailun has provided product supporting services for Caterpillar, the world's largest special equipment manufacturer, John Deere, the world's largest agricultural machinery manufacturer, as well as well-known mining machinery manufacturers at home and abroad, such as XCMG, North Heavy Industry, Sany Heavy Equipment, Liugong Group, Tongli Heavy Industry, Lingong Heavy Machinery, Xiangdian Group, Zoomlion, China National Heavy Duty Truck, Yutong Heavy Industry, Taizhong Group, Weichai (Yangzhou) Special Vehicle, etc.
In addition, from 2017 to the present, Sailun has provided supporting services for Caterpillar, and with excellent product quality and service quality, it has achieved double perfect scores of "zero defect in product quality" and "zero delay in delivery", and has also won the honor of "2023 Excellent Supplier" by John Deere.
At present, Sailun has established a R&D and manufacturing system covering giant engineering radial tires, small and medium-sized engineering radial tires, agricultural tires, bias engineering tires, solid tires, etc., including 2,000 product specifications. Sailun said that in the future, it will continue to increase innovation and research and development efforts to provide higher quality and more intelligent tire comprehensive solutions for the global special tire market.
