Continental has announced its most recent Original Equipment approval of the RDT-Master off-the-road (OTR) tyre for use on Caterpillar’s off-highway truck machine models globally. Customers can thus specify their off-highway truck models with Continental RDT-Master tyres ex works.
These tyres have been designed to meet the rigorous demands of construction and mining operations. Facing the multiple requirements of earthmoving tyre fitments, the range includes three different sizes: 18.00 R33, 21.00 R33, and 24.00 R35. These tyre sizes are approved for CAT 770, 772, 773, 775, and 775 WTR machine models.
Integrated tyre sensor
Continental delivers all its radial earthmover tyres like the RDT-Master as intelligent tyres, ready for ContiConnect. These feature the latest Bluetooth-enabled sensor Generation II ex-factory ready for digital tyre management. This allows all customers to read essential tyre life data as air pressure and temperature directly via their smartphone with no need for any extra investment.
Digital tyre management decisively increases operational safety while it ensures a maximum service life which helps reduce the total cost of ownership and promotes sustainable use of materials.
