When your machines work in harsh, rocky, abrasive terrains, even the best tires struggle to survive. Sidewall cuts, punctures, and rapid tread wear are common problems in quarrying, mining, scrap yards, and steel plants.
That’s where Tire Protection Chains (TPCs) come in — and at Highway Trading Company, we don’t just supply them — we understand how to make them work better for you.
We study your terrain, machine, and load — and suggest the right pattern, ring type, and thickness. Every site needs a different kind of armor.
What Are Tire Protection Chains?
Tire protection chains are heavy-duty steel mesh chains wrapped around OTR tire surfaces to shield them from:
- Sharp rocks
- Slag and molten material
- Broken terrain and scrap
- Uneven ground pressure
They allow your machines to keep working where tires alone would quickly fail — extending tire life and protecting your investment.
Where TPCs Are Used in Pakistan
We’ve supplied tire chains for operations in:
- Limestone & marble quarries (Balochistan, KPK)
- Cement and coal mining zones
- Scrap metal yards and steel factories
- Glass plants, foundries, and slag yards
If your tires are tearing apart too fast — TPCs are often the best solution
Our Chain Expertise – More Than Just Supply
Unlike many dealers, we don’t offer just “off-the-shelf” chains.
At HTC, we help improve chain performance by understanding:
✔️ Machine type (e.g., 50-ton loader, dumper, or grader)
✔️ Tyre size (e.g., 23.5-25, 29.5-25, 21.00-35, etc.)
✔️ Application (slippery surface, sharp stones, hot slag, etc.)
✔️ Duty cycle (24/7 operation vs. 2-shift use)
Then we offer:
- Customized mesh design (close, semi-close, open)
- Ring thickness based on wear level
- Weld strength improvements where needed
- Local service teams to assist in fitment
Some customers need more grip. Others need longer wear. We adjust accordingly.

“We lost a tire every 3 months in our quarry. After using chains from HTC, the same tires running over 10 months now.”

“HTC improved the ring spacing based on our loader’s terrain. Less slippage, better grip.”
