Triangle Tyre will return to Hillhead 2026 alongside Vaculug, its official UK distributor for the brand’s Off-The-Road (OTR) range, reinforcing a distribution model designed to improve product availability and customer support across the UK quarry and construction sectors.
The exhibition takes place from 23rd to 25th June 2026 at Hillhead Quarry in Buxton, Derbyshire, and is widely regarded as the UK’s leading live demonstration event for quarrying, recycling and heavy construction, attracting close to 20.000 visitors and around 600 exhibitors.
Triangle Tyre and Vaculug will exhibit at Stand V10, showcasing a focused selection of Triangle’s OTR portfolio for quarry and earthmoving fleets.
The Triangle & Vaculug partnership is aimed at strengthening Triangle’s UK market footprint with a service-led distribution approach, supporting customers where tyre performance is measured not only in tread life, but in uptime, productivity and cost-per-hour.
Triangle Tyre is among the largest global producers of OTR radial tyres, with a portfolio developed for quarry, mining, industrial and heavy construction applications.
Vaculug, established in 1950 and widely recognised as Europe’s largest independent retreader, brings strong UK market reach and a long-standing reputation in tire lifecycle management. The collaboration is positioned to offer quarry operators a stronger combination of supply continuity, technical support and practical fleet service capability, aligned with increasing market focus on total cost of ownership (TCO) and sustainability-driven purchasing decisions.
In addition to supporting end users, the Triangle & Vaculug cooperation is also designed to strengthen Triangle’s position in the UK trade channel through a structured dealer supply program.
By combining local stockholding, improved trade availability and responsive logistics, the partnership aims to provide UK OTR tyre dealers and specialist distributors with reliable access to Triangle’s portfolio, including key quarry and earthmoving fitments and fast-moving sizes, backed by technical product support and consistent nationwide supply.
The Hillhead display will feature key Triangle tyre solutions for the equipment categories most common in UK quarrying and construction operations, including:
- Rigid and articulated dump truck fitments, engineered for traction, durability and rock abrasion resistance
- Loader and dozer patterns, designed to support high loads, stability and long service life
- Severe service quarry designs, developed for extreme front-of-quarry environments where cut resistance is critical
- Industrial and mobile equipment fitments, supporting mixed on/off-road operation with consistent wear performance
The selection reflects Triangle’s focus on delivering robust OTR tyres engineered to perform in harsh working conditions while helping end users improve operational efficiency and reduce unplanned downtime.
Luca Mai, OTR Director for Europe at Triangle Tyre, commented: “Hillhead is the most important quarry and construction exhibition in the UK, and we are pleased to attend together with our exclusive importer, Vaculug. The partnership allows us to combine a strong global OTR product range with local distribution capability and service support. We look forward to welcoming customers and trade partners to our stand and demonstrating how Triangle can support the UK market with performance, reliability and availability.”
