Zhongce Rubber Group (ZC Rubber), in partnership with its UK distributor City 1st Tyres, showcased its latest range of WESTLAKE OTR tyres at Hillhead 2026, the UK’s largest exhibition for the quarrying, construction and recycling industries.
Held over three days, Hillhead brought together around 600 exhibitors and nearly 20,000 visitors, offering an important platform for industry professionals to explore the latest equipment, technologies and solutions for demanding off-the-road applications.
During the exhibition, the joint stand attracted strong attention from OTR end users, tyre service providers and customers from across the UK, Ireland and other European markets. Visitors showed particular interest in ZC Rubber’s heavy-duty tyre solutions for rigid dump trucks, articulated dump trucks, wheeled loaders, wheeled excavators, telescopic loaders and quarry-specific truck applications.
The company highlighted its latest range of OTR tyres, including the CB745, CB785, CB792, CB740 and CB763. Engineered for demanding off-the-road applications, these tyres are designed to deliver superior traction, enhanced damage resistance, and extended service life across wheeled loader and dump truck applications.
WESTLAKE CB740 E4/L4 for Articulated Dump Trucks, is designed for slippery and muddy road conditions. Featuring an E4 pattern that is 17% deeper than TRA standards, along with a multi-block pattern design, the tyre delivers reliable grip and enhanced durability. Corrosion-resistant carcass wire and advanced tear resistance further help reduce the overall cost of operation.
WESTLAKE CB763 E4 (33.25 R 29), is tailored specifically for 60-ton Articulated Dump Trucks. Featuring alternating multi-edged blocks, the tyre delivers superior flotation and strong traction on soft terrain. Built with an extra-deep E4/L4 tread depth and unique compounds, it offers extended wear life and high cut resistance.
John Ruddy, European OTR Tyre Sales Director of ZC Rubber, said, “Selecting the right OTR tyre is essential for improving equipment productivity and reducing downtime. Through our WESTLAKE OTR product portfolio, we are committed to providing application-specific tyre solutions that help customers improve efficiency, durability and overall operating value.”
ZC Rubber’s participation in Hillhead 2026 further demonstrated the company’s continued commitment to the global OTR tyre market. With a growing portfolio of heavy-duty tyre solutions, ZC Rubber aims to support customers in quarrying, construction, mining and industrial applications with reliable products built for demanding working conditions.
