Oliver Rubber Introduces Smartway Verified Trailer Retread
Oliver Rubber, a leading provider of products and services in the tire retreading industry, has launched Vantage Trailer II, an EPA Smartway® verified trailer position precure retread for long-haul, over the road applications.
Vantage Trailer II is designed for single axle and tandem axle assemblies.
“The Vantage Trailer II demonstrates the strength of Oliver’s experience,” said Philip Boarts, Oliver product category manager. “This new retread provides excellent fuel economy, treadwear and traction.”
Oliver compounding expertise delivers a low rolling resistant, Smartway verified trailer retread. The contact area sustains a solid footprint, resulting in excellent tread life. The rounded shoulders reduce turning and corner stress and help resist curb damage. The generous 13/32nd tread depth includes straight grooves designed for free-rolling positions that result in exceptional lateral traction. This retread is available with or without Serra-Sipes for even greater traction. The Vantage Trailer II is available in four sizes: 205, 210, 220 and 230.
The Vantage Trailer II includes Oliver’s exclusive VDI plus™ feature. This tread feature acts as a visual depth indicator, plus it resists the retention of road debris and helps in the enforcement of pull points. VDI plus is an Oliver Rubber exclusive feature that no other retread product in the industry offers. VDI plus has two extremely useful benefits for transportation and logistics companies. Easy visual tread depth gauging enhances the budget planning process for fleet operations. Further, by reducing lodging of foreign material, it helps abates stone drilling conditions and casing penetration issues that typically occur in the trucking industry. All Oliver retreads carry a national warranty to 2/32nds of tread depth.
