KRT to exhibit at new Plantworx construction show

Kings Road Tyres (KRT) has announced that it will exhibit at the new construction industry show, Plantworx as distributor of Michelin’s industrial tyre range. Taking place on 14-16 May, 2013 at Stoneleigh Park near Coventry and, with backing from the Construction Equipment Association and more than 100,000sqm of space devoted to live construction equipment, KRT says it is likely to be the largest event of its kind in the UK.

KRT will use the occasion to showcase its distributorship of the high performance Michelin AG Industrial Tyres range, which includes market-leading products for telescopic handlers, excavators, all-terrain forklifts, tractors and backhoe loaders.

Michelin tyres on show will include the XMC range for telescopic handlers, backhoes and loaders, designed to deliver a 46 per cent increase in longevity; and the Bibsteel All Terrain tyre for skid steers, which offers 12 per cent soft ground traction improvement, reducing slippage, saving time and lowering fuel consumption.

“KRT are strong believers in the value of trade shows and recognise the potential of the new Plantworx event to help us get closer to customers in the construction market,” says Tim Bader, KRT’s purchasing and marketing manager. Visitors are expected from all construction sectors; civil engineering, groundworks, contractors, utilities, highways, demolition, plant and tool hire.

“These demanding applications and working conditions need the right tyres for equipment to deliver sustained performance. With this in mind we will be promoting the Michelin industrial range to the plant and construction managers, contractors and machine operators we expect to meet at the show,” added Tim Bader.
