Customers gain competitive advantage despite global tyre shortage

Notwithstanding the global shortage of 57" tyres, Otraco's customers continue to gain competitive advantage by utilising Otraco's tyre management solutions to improve tyre life.

Tyre maintenance services and technology solutions have never been more critical for customers as the tyre shortage takes hold. Leading the way is the tyre management and reporting system, Otracom which is helping site managers and purchasing managers to keep their operations moving within tight OPEC and CAPEX budgets whilst supporting Just-In-Time (JIT) purchasing policies.

Mining supervisor champions safety

Jamie Pickels, Site Supervisor in the Tyre Management business (Otraco), has been awarded the Best Individual, Workplace Health and Safety Achievement at the National Safety Awards of Excellence.

 Jamie was given the award after being recognised for a safety initiative he championed at the Meandu Mine in Queensland.

Called 'Spacer Plates', this device now allows his team to complete the Hitachi dump truck tyre and rim assembly fitment task in a safe, quick and efficient manner.
