Kal Tire’s Mining Tire Group has signed an agreement with Transcale Pty Ltd, appointing Kal Tire as the exclusive Transcale dealer for Canada. The agreement expands Kal Tire’s technology services offering for mine operators seeking greater insight into payload optimisation, fleet performance and operating efficiency.
Through the agreement, Kal Tire will provide sales, service, calibration, training and operational support for Transcale weighing and volumetric scanning systems across Canada. The company will also offer custom mobile installations, payload studies and integration support to help customers obtain actionable insights from payload, volume and density data.
“Mining companies are increasingly looking for accurate, reliable data to help optimise payloads, improve productivity and maximise asset performance,” said Christian Erdelyi, Technology Services Director, Kal Tire’s Mining Tire Group. “We’ve worked with Transcale technology for years as part of our productivity services offering and understand how payload data influences tire performance, truck productivity and fleet management decisions. This agreement allows us to provide a more complete solution by supplying the equipment, supporting its operation and helping customers turn data into actionable insights.”
Kal Tire has extensive experience operating Transcale equipment as part of its technology services offering. Historically, the company has conducted weight scale and volumetric studies on mine sites to support applications including brake testing, payload calibration, density verification and shovel system calibration. In Canada, Kal Tire currently performs 10 to 15 site studies annually and recently delivered a mobile system featuring volumetric scanning technology and Transcale Sealed AS700 scales to an oil sands operation.
The new dealership agreement builds on that foundation, enabling Kal Tire to support customers throughout the full lifecycle of payload monitoring solutions; from equipment selection and installation to operation, maintenance and performance analysis.
“We are delighted to partner with Kal Tire as our exclusive Canadian dealer,” said John Henson, International Sales Manager at Transcale. “Kal Tire’s outstanding reputation, national footprint and commitment to delivering exceptional customer service make them the ideal partner to collectively raise the bar in the provision of real time technology-based optimisation solutions throughout mines in Canada. The appointment strengthens Transcale’s presence in North America and enables Canadian surface and underground mining companies an increased benefit from industry-leading tyre and payload management solutions backed by this new partnership.”
