Section Repairs

When the damage to your tire exceeds 3/8 of an inch or the injury is located in the shoulder or sidewall area, a section repair is required. Section Repairing is an affordable way of keeping equipment running until new tires are necessary. It is an efficient repair method to keep your OTR tires going. McGee Commercial Tire & Service offers affordable section repair services in North Carolina and Florida.

How is Section Repair Performed?

Section repairs involve the most severe type of tire damage, when a tire has a cut through the cords. Section repairs include sidewall, face, and shoulder reinforcement. To perform this repair, the damaged area filled with new rubber on the outside of the cavity and then high-pressure heat is applied to the rubber to tightly force it into the cavity to complete the repair.

Preventative Maintenance for Your OTR Tires

There are a few preventative measures that heavy equipment operators can utilize to extend the life of their OTR tires. They include:

  • Not taking turns at high speeds. It causes the tread to wear out quickly and can damage the sidewalls.
  • Avoiding hitting rock or curb at the wrong angle. They can cause an OTR tire to deflate or explode.
  • Checking the tire pressure as a daily routine before starting the equipment.
  • Never drive on a flat tire. Driving on a flat OTR tire for even a small distance you can cause serious damage to the wheel and rim.
  • Keeping your OTR tires properly inflated
