Uzmai Exhibit Maitech Brand Extensions

The manufacturer behind the technical all steel radial OTR tyre brand Maitech, Uzmai presented its latest extensions to the range at Reifen 2008. The show saw the 2008 launch of the company’s new range of High Speed Crane tyres, the first being a 445/95R25 (1600R25) version, while the company showed its UM£ and UM5 ranges – suitable for wheeled loaders or articulated dumpers and loaders, dozers or terminal tractors respectively. Uzmai offers its Maitech UM3 tyres in a range of six sizes and the L5 in 23.5R25, 26.5R25 and 29.5R25, all of which follow Maitech’s all-steel radial design philosophy.

Uzmai’s technical prowess is the company’s main selling point, and with each tyre being the result of significant research and development, they represent a viable alternative to mainstream sources of OTR machinery products. Maitech say they are able to make tyres that wear evenly, resulting in lower costs per kilometre and therefore reduce overall machine operating costs. In addition it is possible to remould Maitech casings two or three times if they are not significantly damaged before new items need be purchased.

Uzmai has a long history within the OTR tyre industry. Since its foundation in 1953, the Italian organisation has steadily increased its range and output from its beginnings in retreading machines for agricultural tyres. The relatively recently introduced Maitech range features sturdy shoulders, ultra-hard wearing tread compounds and flat profiles whilst at the same time providing excellent traction and durability. They also offer an increased contact footprint for exceptional floatation characteristics, resulting in less stress to the vehicles to which they are fitted and enhanced operator comfort.
