Recovering 42 Ultra-Class Tyres and Delivering $1.6M in Savings

Recovering 42 Ultra-Class Tyres and Delivering $1.6M in Savings

Key Outcomes

  • 42 ultra-class tyres recovered and returned to service
  • 2,046 hours average post-repair tyre life achieved
  • $1.6M in estimated cost savings delivered

The Challenge

The operation was prematurely scrapping ultra-class tyres due to in-service damage. Ultimately, this led to limited tread utilisation, resulting in high replacement costs and
reduced asset efficiency.

Our Solution

Tyre Doctor conducted a full onsite assessment of scrap inventory to identify recoverable tyres suitable for repair and reconditioning. A structured recovery program was implemented to return assets safely to service.

Results

  • 42 tyres recovered and redeployed
  • Significant reduction in premature tyre disposal
  • Improved asset utilisation across fleet
  • $1.6M in cost savings delivered

Conclusion

This project demonstrated how targeted recovery programs can unlock substantial value from end-of-life tyre assets and extend the operational lifecycle.
