Continental receive Cat approval for Off-Highway truck tyres

Caterpillar Off-Highway rigid dumptrucks now available with Continental RDT-Master tyres

CONTINENTAL have announced that their RDT-Master off-the-road (OTR) tyre has been approved for use on Caterpillar Off-Highway Truck models globally, allowing customers to specify their Cat Off-Highway Trucks with Continental RDT-Master tyres ex works.

Continental’s RDT-Master tyre has been designed to meet the rigorous demands of construction, quarrying 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 – which are approved for Cat 770, 772, 773, 775 and 775 WTR machine models.

Continental say the endorsement marks a pivotal milestone, highlighting the quality, durability, and performance of their tyres in the earthmoving segment. ‘We are excited that Caterpillar are expanding their tyre range with the RDT-Master from us. This exemplifies our growth ambitions in the earthmoving segment,’ said Carly Shipley, key account manager for the earthmoving original equipment at Continental Specialty Tires.

With a commitment to innovation and sustainability, Continental deliver all their radial earthmover tyres, including the RDT-Master, as intelligent tyres featuring the latest Bluetooth-enabled Generation II sensor ex-factory, ready for digital tyre management.

This allows all customers to read essential tyre life data such as air pressure and temperature directly via their smartphone without extra investment. Digital tyre management decisively increases operational safety while ensuring maximum service life, thereby helping to reduce the total cost of ownership and promoting the sustainable use of materials.
