Wheel Tracking Program

OTR offers a unique wheel tracking program using a database, where wheels are tracked by serial number, wheel position on the machine, hours of service and maintenance actions performed.  OTR’s wheel tracking program was pioneered by our Canadian division and is key component in an ISO certified inspection and recertification process. 

OTR can track the complete history of inspections and repair actions done to wheels.  Wheels can be tracked from the time they are entered into service to the time they are scrapped or retired from service.  The program is trusted and proven with over 11 years of wheel history in the database covering over 25,000 serial numbers tracked.

The data analysis from this wheel tracking program has been used to identify and proactively correct recurring wheel issues.  The results from wheel improvements have been enhanced wheel safety and reduction of down time for expensive equipment. 

Safety is a concern for everyone involved in the use and servicing of multi-piece wheels.  Utilisation of OTR’s program would prove due diligence in the case of a unforeseen incident involving a wheel failure.

OTR’s program extends the service life of wheels and tires by catching minor problems before they become major issues resulting in wheel failure or potentially serious accidents. Cost savings is important as well.  Keeping your wheels in good service condition results in less down time for your equipment and a greater ROI for your investment in your heavy equipment.
