- E Earthmoving (Transport, Scrapers, Articulated & Rigid Dump Trucks),
- IND Industrial/ Mechanical Handling
Tyre and Rim Association has also approved the following tire designations for agricultural tyres:
- F Steer Front Tractor Tires
- R Drive Rear Tractor Tires
- HF High Flotation Tires
- I Implement Tires
