Heavy Duty Projects Call for Heavy Duty Tires
Any road trip in the next few months is sure to be interrupted by the dreaded summer work zones. While the warmer months are a great time to hop in the car and explore, they are also a time of peak road construction. Due to underfunding, there’s currently an $836 billion U.S. road construction backlog. However, fund allocations are once again on the rise, and fleets of construction vehicles are being outfitted to handle the increased workload. For the heavy-duty conditions these vehicles face during road and bridge maintenance and expansion operations, tire quality is a key element that can make or break a project.
Construction Projects Switch to High Gear
With major construction projects kicking off across the country, the demand for high-quality tires is elevating. For example, in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, near the hometown of Bauer Built Tire & Service, there is a company currently constructing a distribution center and retail center. The retail center alone will require hundreds of dump trucks to haul dirt away and massive earthmovers for leveling purposes of the finished construction site. From these jobsites to ports and terminals, or even rugged quarry settings, earthmover vehicles require the best tires the industry has to offer. The savings from a longer lasting tire and reduced fuel costs can make a significant impact on a project’s bottom line.
Bauer Built Turns to Michelin
“At Bauer Built, we turn to Michelin when recommending tires that can get the job done,” said Fargo, ND, Store Manager Nick Ohman. “They provide a line of durable and sturdy earthmover tires designed to handle everything from surface mining and quarries to construction and industrial sites.” By Michelin designing the tires to be damage resistant in challenging conditions operating in extreme terrain, their tires are guaranteed to increase productivity by reducing service requirements and costs. It’s no wonder, then, that 95% percent of the tires used on the recent Panama Canal expansion project were Michelin tires.
