OTR Tyre Management Services

With over 20 years of experience in the tyre industry, and more than 10 years specializing in the mining sector for OTR (Off-the-Road) services, we pride ourselves on delivering comprehensive solutions to our customers. Including on site OTR tyre management services, ensuring that we meet all your tyre needs Safely, effectively and efficiently.

  • Regular maintenance, including inspections and pressure checks, helps identify wear and damage early, allowing for timely repairs or replacements. This proactive approach significantly extends the life of tyres.

  • Ensuring that tyres are properly inflated and in good condition enhances vehicle handling and fuel efficiency. This optimization leads to improved overall performance and productivity on-site.

  • Daily in-field inspections, including visual checks for irregularities such as cuts, bulges, or foreign objects, help ensure the safety of operators and equipment. Properly managed tyres reduce the risk of blowouts and accidents.

  • Effective job preparation and diligent maintenance can significantly reduce long-term operational costs. Proper OTR tyre management minimizes the risk of unexpected downtime and expensive emergency repairs, ultimately improving the bottom line.

  • Well-maintained tyres contribute to efficient fuel consumption, reducing emissions and minimizing the environmental impact of mining and construction activities.

  • Comprehensive tyre management services often involve tracking and analyzing tyre performance data. This information can be valuable for making informed decisions about tyre use, purchase scheduling, and maintenance plans.

  • Adhering to proper tyre management practices helps companies stay compliant with industry standards and regulations, reducing legal liabilities and ensuring operational integrity.

  • We also provide operator tyre awareness training to heavy machine operators. As they are the first line of defense in taking care of the machinery they operate. By equipping them with the relevant tyre knowledge on how to care and look after their tyres these operators become the custodians of the machines and tyres they operate with.

Tyre Range

We offer a comprehensive range of tyres, from passenger vehicles to Off-The-Road (OTR) and heavy-duty industrial tyres, tailored to meet the demands of the mining and industrial sectors. Our products are compatible with a wide variety of machinery and leading equipment manufacturers.

  • Offering a broad selection of tyres—from passenger vehicles to OTR (Off-The-Road) tyres—ensures that customers can find suitable options for nearly all types of vehicles and machinery.

  • Providing tyres compatible with various machinery and manufacturers helps meet the specific needs of diverse operations, particularly in industries like construction and mining where specialized tyres are essential.

  • Different applications require specific tyre features; by supplying a comprehensive range, customers can select tyres that optimize performance, safety, and efficiency for their particular use cases.

  • A wide tyre range allows for better price comparison, enabling customers to find cost-effective solutions that do not compromise on quality.

OTR Tyre Repairs

We also provide expert repairs on all mining and OTR tyres using the advanced one-stage airbag tyre repair system. This service delivers significant value to our customers by enabling on-site repairs and minimizing downtime, allowing tyres to be returned to service promptly.

  • Repairing tyres on-site eliminates the need for transportation, allowing for instant attention to tyre issues. This minimizes delays and keeps equipment operational.

  • With repairs being conducted immediately, unplanned downtime is significantly reduced. This helps maintain productivity and efficiency in operations.

  • Regular, scheduled preventative repairs can be implemented weekly, allowing for proactive management of tyre health. This foresight helps to prevent unexpected failures and extends the life of the tyres.

  • Each tyre repair comes with a 2000-hour warranty, which provides assurance of the quality and reliability of the repairs. This can enhance confidence in operational safety and performance.

Foamfill - Flatproofing

Foamfil is a liquid polyurethane that’s injected into pneumatic tyres, replacing the air with a tough, rubber-like core. This process prevents flats completely, making it ideal for off-the-road (OTR) equipment working in rough or hazardous conditions.

Once filled, tyres can withstand punctures and cuts without losing performance—keeping machines running, reducing downtime, and improving overall productivity. What sets Foamfill apart from other flat-proofing solutions, like solid aperture tyres, is the smoother ride it provides. It transmits significantly less G-force, which helps protect operators from injury and reduces wear on machinery, extending the lifespan of your equipment.

Engineered for Impact. Built for the Toughest Jobs

From bucket teeth to track shoes, our precision-built GETs are designed to maximize equipment performance, extend wear life, and reduce downtime across the harshest environments.

Ground engaging tools commonly used

1.) Bucket Teeth:
Bucket teeth are tooth-like projections attached to the cutting edge of excavator or loader buckets. They are designed to penetrate and break through tough materials such as soil, rocks, and gravel, facilitating efficient digging and loading operations.

2.) Cutting Edges:
Cutting edges are flat blades mounted along the bottom edge of buckets, blades, or other earthmoving equipment. They are used to slice through various materials during excavation, grading, and levelling tasks, providing a smooth and precise cutting action.

3.) Blades:
Blades are large, flat attachments fitted to bulldozers, graders, and other heavy equipment for pushing, levelling, and smoothing surfaces. They come in different shapes and sizes, including straight blades for general-purpose grading and curved blades for contouring and shaping.

4.) Ripper Teeth:
Ripper teeth are pointed attachments mounted to the rear of bulldozers and motor graders. They are used to break up compacted soil, rock, and asphalt surfaces, allowing for easier excavation, trenching, and land preparation.

5.) Wear Plates:
Wear plates are flat, sturdy plates installed on the underside or sides of equipment buckets and blades to protect against abrasion and impact damage. They provide a durable surface that resists wear from abrasive materials and prolongs the lifespan of the equipment.

6.) Auger Bits:
Auger bits are helical drilling attachments used with auger drives to bore holes in the ground for various applications, including foundation drilling, fencing, and landscaping. They come in different diameters and configurations to suit different soil types and drilling conditions.

7.) Shanks:
Shanks are sturdy, pointed components attached to rippers and scarifiers to penetrate and loosen compacted soil, rock, and pavement layers. They provide the necessary force to break up hard materials and prepare surfaces for further excavation or grading.

8.) Lip Shrouds:
Lip shrouds are curved, protective covers fitted over the front edge of loader buckets and excavator buckets. They shield the bucket lip from wear and damage caused by abrasive materials, extending the lifespan of the bucket and improving performance.

9.) Side Cutters:
Side cutters are additional cutting edges mounted along the sides of excavator and loader buckets. They increase the cutting width of the bucket, allowing for more efficient material handling and reducing the need for repositioning during excavation and loading operations.

10.) Track Shoes:
Track shoes are metal plates bolted to the track chains of crawler machines such as excavators, bulldozers, and track loaders. They provide traction and support the weight of the machine on various terrains, including soft soil, rocky terrain, and uneven surfaces.
