massive difference in upfront costs and on-site productivity.”
Technology Facilitates Improved Service Practices
Continental’ s digital tire monitoring system, ContiConnect, provides construction contractors with a way to monitor the health and performance of their tires. With the digital tire monitoring system, a contractor can choose between a tire mounted sensor or a valve cap sensor to monitor tires. The tire mounted sensor can track pressure, temperature range and mileage, and has Bluetooth capabilities, while the valve cap sensor can measure pressure and temperature range.
Both types of sensors can be paired with either of Continental’ s digital tire monitoring systems ContiConnect Live or ContiConnect Yard. For construction contractor vehicles, Continental recommends utilizing their ContiConnect Yard solution due to its ease of integration and less hardware components, which for fleets who regularly return to a dedicated checkpoint daily usually offers the highest return on investment.
Goodyear offers tire pressure monitoring systems like its tirepressure monitoring system( TPMS) heavy duty( HD) and its EMTrack( enhanced mobility tracking) off-the-road( OTR) tire performance management system. Both provide real-time data to help maximize tire performance.
Goodyear TPMS HD provides critical alerts and insightdriven reports. The connected
Continental’ s construction tire lineup includes the Conti HAC 3 designed for use on roads between job sites and for traction and durability entering and exiting job sites.
solution continuously captures tire pressure and temperature to detect under- or overinflation, air leaks and potential mechanical issues. The data captured with the TPMS technology feeds into the Goodyear G-Predict technology, a suite of algorithms that provides actionable insights of potential incidents before they become an issue.
The Goodyear EMTrack system provides fleet survey reporting information. The all-in-one dashboard solution is used to track key metrics, get ahead of potential service issues and optimize tire spending.
Manufacturers Are Offering the Latest in On / Off-Road Tires
Continental’ s on- / off-road tire lineup is made up of the HCS, HDO and Conti Terra HD3. Each of the tires are M + S( mud and snow) certified to handle all weather conditions with tread designed to provide excellent traction in off-road conditions and minimize stone retention, along with cut and tear resistant compounding to provide
longer mileage. The tires are also engineered to protect against curbing, cuts and abrasions.
Continental’ s construction lineup made up of Conti HAC 3 / HSC 3 & HDC 3 tires are offered for customers with equipment that spends most of the time on roads between job sites or who need traction and durability entering and exiting job sites but solid performance for on road use. For customers needing even more traction and deeper tread depth Continental’ s HDC1 HT is designed with specific shoulder notches to assist with chaining.
Double Coin’ s latest tire for on / off-road use is the REM2-S, an all-season 25-inch radial. Offered initially in a 20.5R25 size, 14.00R24, 17.5R25 and 23.5R25 sizes will be available
