Australia's resource boom of the 1970s saw the introduction of modern mine production technology and the birth of some of the world's most prominent mining houses.

The unique concept of sophisticated and independent tire management service won strong favour, helping Western Australian based Otraco International to secure long-term consulting and on-site tire maintenance contracts throughout Australia, Africa, Canada, China, Indonesia, Latin America, Thailand and the USA.

Led by an expert technical and engineering team, and backed by advanced tire reporting and analysis systems, Otraco has since cemented its position as a global innovator.

REDUCED COSTS
Tires are a hefty and growing cost burden for operators of large earthmoving equipment.  This single cost centre accounts for up to 50% of the total cost of running the new range of ultra-class mining haul trucks.

Since its inception in 1972, Otraco has established formidable credentials and an impressive track record for its success in reducing client tires costs by at least 20% - often considerably more.

We achieve this goal by maximising tire life and equipment availability and productivity, reducing management and maintenance costs, enhancing efficiency and maintaining the highest standards of quality, safety and environmental performance.

INDEPENDENT ADVICE
Tire suppliers, while expert in their field, are not managers.  Traditionally, these manufacturing companies have provided a tire changing service and rudimentary record collection, leaving clients to shoulder the responsibility for performance and cost analysis and all major purchasing, and maintenance decisions.  The manufacturer's core business is to design and sell tires that are reliable, thereby minimising warranty claims.

In contrast, Otraco is focused on providing professional tire management.  Our goal is to harness the technology necessary to minimise whole-of-life tire costs for your operation.

SPECIALIST EXPERTISE
Otraco operates at the forefront of the earthmover tire engineering industry and has developed a wide range of information and analysis systems to identify new opportunities and solutions for its clients.  Technical staff are qualified and experienced professionals with a unique depth of expertise in the tire management technologies.

Through extensive research, Otraco has established a proven service methodology that is the benchmark for the world's best practise earthmover tire management.  This process is being continuously refined.

With our large number of on-site management operations worldwide covering the complete range of earthmoving equipment and tires from all manufacturers we know what will work for your minesite.  When a tire related challenge is encountered there is rarely a need to "reinvent the wheel" - we usually have met and resolved the challenge before.
