Tire Technology Can Trim Operating Costs

摘要

Titan International's Accelerated Change Technology (ACT) wheel was a considerable draw for the company at its Conexpo 2017 display, especially for fleet managers who must deal with what one manager described at those "pesky inner drive tires on mining trucks." According to John Francis, Titan's global OTR (off-the-road) product manager, the ACT wheel (also called "quick-change rims") can save truck owners up to 50 percent of the time typically spent changing these large tires. Titan's ACT wheels, he says, are compatible with any brand of OTR tire that uses a 51-, 57-, or 63-inch-diameter wheel.
