STEELASTIC® Off-The-Road (OTR)
Tire Systems
The Off-the-Road (OTR) tire market continues to grow, as OTR tire manufacturers open more plants dedicated to producing highly specialized tires for construction, agriculture, and underground mining vehicles.
Steelastic OTR systems offer flexibility and the ideal solution for OTR tire component manufacturing. Our calenderless tire process allows OTR tire manufacturers to profitably make shorter runs of multiple SKUs by allowing for faster changeovers and eliminating the need for expensive, inflexible calendering and off-line processing equipment.
Calenderless OTR Tire System Benefits
Cost Savings
While there are numerous benefits of our extrusion-based process, our OTR tire system’s ability to reduce scrap and material waste provides substantial cost savings. This calenderless tire system increases the speed of production which results in faster production and less labor costs.
Reliability
Steelastic OTR systems also ensures precise uniformity and consistent quality for your belt, body ply and cap strip tire components.
Market Flexibility
OTR tire systems offer flexibility due to their extruded radial ply and steel belted tire designs. These different options allow companies to be flexible with their tire choices and adapt to their specific needs.
