Make a date with Tyrexpo Africa for widest choice of tyre brands Visitors to Tyrexpo Africa 2014 will have the widest choice of tyre brands and fitments ever assembled at a single trade exhibition in southern Africa. The global pulling-power of the three-day show is demonstrated by the presence of dozens of international tyre manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors with specialist products for all market sectors, including PCR, TBR, OTR, Agricultural and Industrial. Among tyre suppliers at the Sandton Convention Centre next March will be German wholesaler BaRo GmbH, making a first appearance at the show and looking to extend its reach in Africa. BaRo is particularly strong in the TBR sector, distributing the TyRex, Antyre, Cordiant, Fullrun, Falken and Kama brands for commercial users. In the agricultural sector it supplies Belshina, BKT, Mitas, Rosava and TyRex products. Another European wholesaler, HBI Tyres & Wheels of The Netherlands, produces retreads under the private brand BANDENMARKT® for agricultural machinery, excavators, dump trucks, port handling equipment, earthmoving and mining machinery. India’s Alliance Tire Group (ATG), which has a regional office and R&D centre in South Africa, is a leading player in the global Off-Highway Tires business with its Alliance, Galaxy and Primex brands. For buyers of industrial and materials handling tyres, Trident International has developed a range of Solid Tyres designed for Skid Steer Loaders, Aerial Work Platforms, Wheel Loaders and Container Handlers.

Leaderquip Returns to Tyrexpo for The 4th Time! At Tyrexpo 2014 Leaderquip Auto Services will be showcasing their range of award winning Hunter products such as the Hunter HawkEye Elite® alignment system, the Hunter Road Force Touch® GSP9700 diagnostic balancer and the Hunter Quick Check™ alignment audit system Hunter Road Force Touch® GSP9700 diagnostic balancer. With an estimated 60% of vehicles on the road in need of an alignment, Hunter developed the new Quick Check™ system to help shops quickly identify these vehicles and drive more traffic to the alignment bay. Quick Check™ captures toe and camber measurements and produces printed results in under a minute. Service writers can then use the easy-to-understand, colorcoded printouts to alert customers of misalignment issues, thereby generating a dramatic increase in repair orders for alignment service and revenue. Also on show will by products such as tyre changers from SICE in Italy and top quality lifts from CARLEO in Taiwan. Special focus will be on Leaderquip’s FRONIUS ACCTIVA Inverter Technology Battery Charging Systems for 'New Generation Batteries’. www.leaderquip.co.za

Trident International P Ltd is a Star-Export House that specializes in the supply and distribution of industrial tyres, rubber tracks and pads for construction equipment, material handling equipment, and other specialized infrastructure-related equipment. Trident offers a wide range of sizes that conform to international standards and are distributed in over 35 countries which include the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. Trident has developed a range of Solid Tyres specifically designed for Skid Steer Loaders, Aerial Work Platforms, Wheel Loaders, Container Handlers, etc. These machines are normally fitted with pneumatic tyres that are prone to punctures and fast wear. This result in losses associated with frequent repair and replacement, downtime and leads to additional costs associated with excess inventory of spares. While the use of solid tyres in the material handling segment (i.e. forklifts) is well accepted, the use of solid tyres on construction and other specialized equipment is a relatively new phenomenon. However, this has been gaining acceptance as the benefits become more apparent. Solid Tyres are puncture-proof and are made from highly wear resistant rubber compounds. This gives them a lifespan three to five times that of conventional pneumatic tyres. Innovative features include the use of sidewall apertures for shock absorption when moving over irregular surfaces and debris thereby providing a smooth and stable ride. These tyres also significantly improve occupational safety as there is no possibility of tyre blowout related accidents. Besides providing the user complete peace of mind, these zero maintenance tyres are a sound investment for demanding applications such as construction, scrap and recycling yards, steel mills, solid waste management, ports, mining, etc. www.trident-intl.com
