Goodyear will exhibit its new Goodyear GP-4D Gen II alongside its range of OTR tyre products, services and solutions at Hillhead 2024 (25-27 June, Stand U13). The new 750/65R25 Goodyear GP-4D Gen II tyre at the show targets articulated dump trucks with an optimised tread design, multiple steel belt carcass construction, and a tread compound. These features add up to benefits such as versatile tread pattern for balanced performance, improved treadwear as well as high level of comfort for the operator.
Nicola Stopford, marketing manager UK&I, Goodyear, said: “Goodyear looks forward to exhibiting at Hillhead 2024. It’s a unique exhibition that’s perfect for the Off-the-Road segment of the business. OTR machines operate in some of the most challenging environments, and tyres are an essential component to a business’s operating costs, competitiveness and of course sustainability.”
The largest quarrying, construction and recycling exhibition in the UK takes place every two years at Hillhead Quarry, Buxton, and welcomes 600 exhibitors with around 18,500 visitors. Goodyear says the show’s broad appeal in these sectors makes it an attractive opportunity to showcase its Total Mobility offering to help off-the-road operations minimize cost, reduce downtime and stay productive.
Goodyear experts will be on-site to help potential clients understand how its suite of products and solutions can help boost their business.
Goodyear TPMS Heavy Duty offers real-time data
Total Mobility includes a bespoke tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) technology for heavy duty vehicles. This allows site operators operating OTR machinery to manage tyres using real-time data to help reduce machine downtime and optimizing tyre life, operational efficiency and costs. The system alerts operators and fleet managers of tyre related issues before they become serious.
Goodyear TPMS Heavy Duty can be used across all major OTR segments, including port, underground mining, surface mining and construction.
“Goodyear proactive solutions such as TPMS Heavy Duty can help prevent common tyre inflation loss,” Stopford adds. “What’s more, it’s hugely exciting to have our new GP-4D Gen II tyre on display, which visitors can come and see and learn more about how it can serve their business.”
