Open Pit Mining Solutions
In the demanding world of open pit mining, where equipment faces extreme loads and challenging terrain, We offer reliable tire management services to keep your operation moving. With advanced tools like the Goodyear® Tire Optix™ system, we provide real-time tire monitoring to enable proactive maintenance and reduce the risk of costly failures. Our comprehensive services, including weight distribution studies and fleet inspections, are designed to enhance safety, improve efficiency, and keep your mining site operating at peak performance—no matter the scale.
Underground Mining Tire Solutions
Our team provides expert support for underground mining operations, helping you navigate the unique challenges of confined spaces, rugged terrain, and intense wear-and-tear conditions. Our tailored tire solutions are designed to maximize durability, boost efficiency, and ensure safety in these demanding environments. From advanced performance tracking to convenient on-site repairs, we work to minimize disruptions and keep your operations running smoothly and reliably.
Tire Asset Management
New technologies and tires are being developed daily. Our team takes great pride in ensuring that we track the tire performance on your equipment, to the hour, to determine how each tire performs in each application. We invest significant time and resources to ensure customers get the lowest cost per hour from their tires. This includes testing different tires to find the best tire to use in each application to maximize the number of hours in operation to reduce downtime and lower overall operating costs.
Seasonal & Cross Fitment testing
Seasonal fitments account for the impact of temperature and environmental changes on tire performance. To ensure accurate results, test and control tires are fitted in close succession and evaluated in batches. Cross fitment testing simplifies evaluations by using control tires across different applications, providing reliable comparisons and insights for optimized performance.
On-Site Tire Repair & Maintenance
We offer on-site OTR tire section repairs, eliminating shipping costs, excessive inventory, and downtime. As the only company providing this service, we perform both nylon-reinforced section and spot repairs within on-site service facilities.
Weight Studies & Fleet Optimization
Yearly weight studies offer valuable information on the entire fleet for our customers, while also satisfying the legal requirements according to the Mine Services Act. We will supply the scales, supervise the study, record all information and report on our findings.
