Tipper Fleet Switches to Michelin/ATSE

Hull-based demolition/tipper hire fleet DJ Broady Ltd has switched to an ATS Euromaster/Michelin tyre policy across its mixed fleet of 11 tippers, following a six month Micheline trial. The new agreement will see ATS Euromaster work in partnership with DJ Broady’s in-house maintenance team fitting Michelin XDY3 tyres – replacing a previous policy which saw tyres fitted by a local independent tyre dealer.

Bob Marshall, Transport Manager at DJ Broady, says: “During the six month trial we closely monitored the performance of a set of Michelin tyres against the tyres fitted across the remainder of the fleet. It was a difficult decision to make but the trial showed there were some very clear financial benefits to be made as a result of switching both tyre supplier and manufacturer.”

DJ Broady operates a mixed fleet of MAN, Mercedes-Benz and Renault heavy-duty tippers, with each vehicle covering around 50,000km a year in and around the Hull area. The new contract with ATS Euromaster will see Michelin XDY3 tyres fitted as standard across the fleet and follow the complete Michelin Four Lives tyre policy.
