At this year’s bauma, the largest construction machinery trade show in the world, OTR Engineered Solutions (OTR) is showcasing two groundbreaking advancements: The new LIFTBOSS® A/T tire, engineered for superior all-terrain performance, and a strategic partnership with Pressure Systems International (P.S.I.) to integrate TireView® tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) into OTR’s pneumatic tire and wheel assemblies.
LIFTBOSS® A/T: A New Standard for Telehandler Performance
The LIFTBOSS® A/T non-directional tire is designed for telehandlers operating in construction and material handling environments, providing multi-surface traction across asphalt, concrete and gravel. Featuring a step-down tread and mud breakers for self-cleaning, as well as integrated sipes for enhanced traction, this tire ensures safety and durability.
“Not only does the LIFTBOSS A/T offer exceptional off-road performance on construction and material handling jobs, but it also provides excellent rolling resistance for fuel efficiency and a low-profile design that enhances stability while reducing costs,” said Bob Gilkenson, Vice President of Business Development at OTR.
OTR & P.S.I. Partnership: Advancing Tire Monitoring Technology
In addition to product innovation, OTR is partnering with Pressure Systems International (P.S.I.), a global leader in tire inflation systems, to offer the TireView® TPMS solution in its pneumatic tire and wheel assemblies. This advanced technology enables real-time monitoring of tire pressure and temperature via an in-cab display, smartphone app or integrated vehicle dash, helping drivers ensure proper inflation and tire health. The system’s telematics capabilities also allow fleet managers and rental centers to remotely monitor tire conditions and vehicle locations via the TireView LIVE™ portal.
“P.S.I. recognizes OTR as a leading innovator when it comes to off-the-road tire and wheel technologies and is proud to partner with them to offer TireView’s TPMS sensors to their customer base. Real-time tire pressure and temperature alerts are important for vehicles of all types and configurations, and with the addition of TireView LIVE telematics, OTR and P.S.I. can now offer a fleet-wide solution for tire management,” said Craig Smith, Vice President of Marketing and Communications, P.S.I.
