Bauer Built Stock Retreads Serve Small Fleets

Large Fleet Tire Replacement Process

In a large fleet, availability of additional tire stock permits these businesses to cap their own casings. As tread wears, tire assets are strategically moved from steer to drive and then from drive to trailer. When the decision to retread is made, existing inventory can be used as an immediate replacement. Once the worn tire has been retreaded, it can then be rotated back into their stock. This ecofriendly retread process eliminates idle waiting time while avoiding the costly purchase of a new tire.

Small Fleet Tire Retread Challenges

What works for large fleets tire management strategy isn’t necessarily a viable solution for smaller fleets, however. While larger fleets typically have an inventory of owned tires that can be interchanged as worn tires are retreaded, smaller fleets may not have this surplus available to them. When tires are removed for retreading, vehicles sit idle—wait time that is costly to their operations. By implementing a stock retread replacement tire program with Bauer Built, downtime and expense for these smaller businesses can be dramatically reduced.

Bauer Built Tire Replacement Program

Bauer Built understands both the pressures of time and cost smaller fleets face when it comes to recapping and retreading tires. “With our tire replacement program, small fleets can select the same tread from the Bauer Built retread stock, and have a completed tire delivered right away,” said Scott Kusilek, Director of Manufacturing at Bauer Built. “Our comprehensive inspections combined with enhanced Michelin Retread Technologies (MRT) ensures that our tire retreads have undergone strict, quality-controlled processes to deliver increased casing life, fuel efficiency and improved asset accountability for small and large fleets.”
