During the demonstration, the machines will simulate many common industry applications and following the demo attendees will have the opportunity to take photos and get up-close with the equipment.

All OTR delegates and their registered guest are invited to attend the event, but registration is required. Those who’ve already registered for the conference will receive registration info for the demo via email soon.

The OTR Conference is slated for Feb. 18-21 at the Westin La Paloma Resort and Spa in Tucson, Ariz. In order to add the Cat demonstration the OTR Conference schedule has been revised. Visit tireindustry.org/2015-otr-conference for more information.
