TIMBER FIRM SHEFFIELD & CO. LTD. SEES HUGE REDUCTION IN TYRE-RELATED DOWNTIME THANKS TO MICHELIN TECHNICAL TEAM
Stoke-on-Trent – November 2, 2012Southwaite-based timber harvesting, marketing, and haulage company Sheffield & Co. Ltd. has reduced the frequency of annual tyre-related breakdowns from 35 to just two. Its tyres are also lasting longer after working for the last 18 months with Michelin Technical Manager Dan Lamb to adopt a bespoke tyre policy, with different pressures tailored for on-road and forestry work. Michelin began consulting with the company in March 2011 as Sheffield & Co. began installing Tireboss Central Tyre Inflation (CTI) devices on its fleet of four 44-tonne combinations.
