Uzmai to Launch High Speed Crane Tyre Range

Uzmai, the manufacturer of Maitech all-steel radial OTR tyres, is to launch a new range of high speed crane tyres during the Essen show. Company representatives told Tyres & Accessories that the first product to be released from this new line will be a 445/95-25 (1600-25) product. Uzmai already offers its Maitech UM3 tyres in a range of 6 sizes covering 15.5R25, 17.5R25, 20.5R25, 23.5R25, 26.5R25 and 29.5 with several new products just launched for 2008 including L5 in 23.5R25, 26.5R25 and 29.5R25.

As a company Uzmai prides itself on offering “a highly technical range of all-steel radial OTR tyres…which [find] great favour in many parts of the world as a viable alternative to mainstream sources of supply of tyres for OTR machinery.” According to the company, the Maitech range of steel radial UM3 tyres was developed following “a high input of research and development time, the best possible compounds and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes.” As a result, the company claims that its products offer optimum tyre performance and extended life, combined with even wear, resulting in lower costs per kilometre. The company reports that its Maitech casings can be retreaded two or three times if they are not significantly damaged.
