TotalTyreLogic, OTR's earthmover tyre management system, tracks, monitors and manages the condition of tyres, encompassing site surveys and detailed recommendations of operational practices, to aid budgeting and give visible asset management. The system is already in use in more than 30 quarries in Scotland.

Tyre data is correlated by OTR's tyre service engineers through on-site visits and recorded into hand held organisers before being downloaded directly to bespoke software for interpretation and analysis. The centralised database software then collates the information, which includes tyre manufacturer, tyre type, tread pattern plus wear and repair details, for each customer.

The advantage is that customers can see and monitor how their tyres are performing on individual machines in specific locations and implement changes as necessary. Graeme Manning, OTR's commercial director said: "TotalTyreLogic not only gives earthmover tyre users up-to-date records of all their tyres but provides them with a cost effective form of tyre management - ensuring correct tyre supply, monitoring tyre wear and repairing and retreading when necessary."

Alan Ward, OTR regional sales manager, commented: "We have seen a number of our larger quarry customers (including Enstone Thistle and Barrs) benefit from the TotalTyreLogic management service by giving responsibility for their earthmover vehicle tyres to OTR."

OTR have seven Regional Service Centres, equipped for most major tyre repairs, and nine Service Operating Sites throughout the UK.
