OTR Tyres offer more than just industrial tyres to Waste Management industry

OTR Tyres Ltd, one of the world's leading earthmover tyre specialists, are

offering the Waste Management industry 'much more than just tyres'.

Exhibiting at RWM again this year OTR promoted not just their range of new

and retread solid, cushion and pneumatic tyres but demonstrated the benefits

of OTR Tyre Hire, a service exclusively designed for the waste management

industry.


Steve Clipperton, OTR's Waste Industry Manager, stated: "We have been

working with our customers in the waste industry for many years, addressing

their key problem areas - punctures, downtime and wear rates - which all add

up to tyre cost per hour. Our management solutions - no matter what size of

organisation - are focused on that key issue."


The OTR Cushion Tyre range drew attention both in it's new and retread form.

"These tyres are resistant to cuts and damage and do not puncture, so are

most suitable for high hazard environments. With their excellent retreadability

and wear life, Cushion Tyres are contributing significantly towards the

industry's drive for environmental sustainability. OTR have world class retread

manufacturing facilities and we are able to retread tyres from 24" to 49","

continued Steve.


Introduced at the show were the new range of Brawler Solid Cushion tyres

which are engineered to perform in the most extreme wear service

applications, and the elliptical apertures provide a softer ride which reduces

equipment and operator fatigue.


For a ride performance that resemble the pneumatic tyre OTR Fil tyres -

polyurethane filled puncture resistant tyres - offers a cost effective long-term

solution to tyre related machine downtime. Fil tyres are guaranteed 100% Fil

and can be retreaded up to three times, depending on casing quality - giving

further cost savings and environmental benefits on replacement tyres. The

OTR Fil service is available at depots throughout the UK.


Tyre management is perhaps where OTR offer much more than just tyres.

Management is bespoke - suited to site, vehicles and organisation, with

responsibility for tyres placed with OTR. Through regular onsite inspections

tyre wear and usage is monitored, tyres rotated, changed, repaired or

retreaded to reduce tyre operating costs and maximise tyre life. Offered on

fixed term, fixed cost basis, OTR's tyre management service is designed to

suit the customers requirements no matter how large or how small, how

diverse or remote the operation.


With a network of strategically placed service depots and satellite units

throughout the UK, OTR respond quickly and efficiently to customer

requirements - minimising downtime and associated costs. OTR trucks have

the latest remote handling equipment, capable of handling 57" tyres and

onboard technology to ensure that tyre service is as safe and efficient as

possible.


"Despite the rain, RWM was a huge success for us. We have had many

enquiries for both the Fil and Cushion Tyre ReTreads, but the new Brawler

tyre we had on display has also had a lot of interest," concluded Steve.

OTR Tyres are, as part of the Kaltire group of companies, the largest

earthmover tyre service provider, globally.
