OTR Engineered Solutions (OTR) opened a new facility in Phoenix with the aim of delivering faster tire and track solutions across the Southwest.
According to OTR, the new location stocks a range of off-the-road tires, tracks, wheels and assemblies.
“OTR has made a significant investment in the Phoenix facility, not only in the 42,000-sq.-ft. building, but also in technology and products we’ve committed there,” says Mitch Mittlestadt, general manager of aftermarket at OTR. “This location gives us an unmatched ability to quickly respond to unplanned or emergency tire and track needs in the region. What’s even more exciting is we’ve left room for expansion.”
In addition to the facility’s warehousing function, the company offers its Foam Fill Exchange program there. Tire dealers and equipment rental operations utilize the program in the construction and material handling markets.
With this program, OTR provides a new foam-filled tire and wheel assembly to replace a customer’s worn or damaged one. The old tire is recycled, and the rim is refurbished to reduce costs and maximize customer return on investment.
OTR also employs delivery drivers to exchange the assemblies. Current dedicated routes are established throughout Arizona, New Mexico and Southern California, with Nevada to be added in the near future.
“The Phoenix facility is an excellent complement to OTR’s other locations throughout the U.S.,” Mittlestadt says. “The Foam Fill Exchange program offered here is another benefit to the region, helping to reduce costly downtime and providing exceptional return on investment.”
