What looks like the end of an OTR tire \u2014 from mining, agribusiness, or construction \u2014 is, for Vulcaflex, just the start of a new service life. Through steel cable replacement technology, we’re able to restore tires that, by conventional methods, would be considered irreparable.<\/p>\n
The repair consists of strategically replacing the damaged steel cables in the carcass with a brass-coated cable ply, sized to fit each tire dimension. This process restores the tire’s original structural integrity, flexibility, sealing, and strength \u2014 qualities essential for operations that can’t afford to stop.<\/p>\n
We offer two complementary approaches:<\/p>\n
We are the exclusive Latin American distributor of Regigant\/Vulcan Vulcap technology, using brass-coated steel cables that offer superior resistance to punctures and external forces. It’s a solution built for the daily reality of mining and agribusiness, where every hour of downtime carries a real cost.<\/p>\n
Properly executed, this repair is designed to last as long as the carcass’s full service life \u2014 it’s not a patch, it’s a genuine restoration.<\/p>\n
An OTR tire, especially in the sizes used in mining and large equipment, represents one of the most significant investments in a fleet’s operating costs. Prematurely replacing a tire that could still run for hundreds of hours means tying up capital that could go toward other areas of the operation.<\/p>\n
By recovering rather than discarding, a company preserves part of the value already invested, extends the tire’s service life, and postpones \u2014 or avoids altogether \u2014 a new investment. Multiplied across an entire fleet, that gain translates into a real reduction in cost per ton hauled.<\/p>\n
Every recovered tire is a tire that avoids premature disposal \u2014 carrying direct weight in the ESG agendas of construction sites, farms, and mining operations. Reducing the disposal of a large, slow-to-decompose item contributes to concrete environmental targets and strengthens governance around the responsible use of an operation’s resources.<\/p>\n
Beyond a cost advantage, recovering OTR tires connects productivity and responsibility: fewer tires headed for disposal, less raw-material extraction for replacements, and greater efficiency per hour of machine operation.<\/p>\n
Our technology safely recovers up to 40% of tires previously considered unserviceable, covering everything from truck tires to giants with a 63″ rim.<\/p>\n
Beyond supplying materials and equipment, Vulcaflex trains people. With more than 35 years of experience in truck and OTR tire repair, we run certification programs tailored to each client and sector \u2014 on-site, at our own facilities, or online. Every certified team returns to the field with the autonomy and confidence to handle complex repairs.<\/p>\n
