The service tracks, monitors and manages the condition of the tyres, including site surveys and detailed recommendations of operational practices, to aid budgeting and give visible asset management.

Tyre data is correlated by OTR’s Tyre service Engineers through on-site visits and recorded on hand-held organisers before being downloaded directly to bespoke software foe interpretation and analysis. Customers can see and monitor how their tyres are performing on individual machines in specific locations and implement changes as necessary.

Says OTR’s Commercial Director Graeme Manning: "TotalTyreLogic is a cost-effective form of tyre management, ensuring correct tyre supply, monitoring tyre wear and repairing and retreading when necessary."

OTR has one of the largest fleets of specialist tyre fitting vehicles in Europe, providing 24/7 support. In-vehicle GPS systems allow OTR to monitor the vehicles and to react to ensure that response times and associated downtime costs are kept to a minimum.

"We have seen a number of our larger quarry customers benefit from the TotalTyreLogic management service by giving responsibility for their earthmover tyres to OTR" says OTR Regional Sales Manager Alan Ward.

There are seven OTR ‘Regional Service Centres’, equipped for most major tyre repairs and nine ‘Service Operating Sites’ strategically positioned throughout the UK. Health and Safety and training are a priority at OTR and all Tyre Service Engineers are fully qualified and experienced, and continually assessed. (Tyres & Acceessories/Staffordshire, U.K.)
