Highlighting the WESTLAKE OTR Range at Hillhead 2026
Zhongce Rubber Group (ZC Rubber) showcased its latest range of WESTLAKE OTR tyres at Hillhead 2026, the UK’s largest exhibition for the quarrying, construction and recycling industries.
Hillhead brought together around 600 exhibitors and nearly 20,000 visitors. It offers 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. These covered rigid dump trucks, articulated dump trucks, wheeled loaders, wheeled excavators, telescopic loaders and quarry-specific truck applications.
New OTR Tyres Deliver Enhanced Performance for Demanding 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 deliver superior traction, enhanced resistance to damage, and extended service life for wheeled loaders and dump trucks.
- WESTLAKE CB745 L5: Designed for Wheeled Loaders, built for extreme operating conditions. Its non-directional tread pattern and robust, thicker tyre carcass help enhance load-bearing capacity. What’s more, its groove-bottom rubber studs help prevent groove cracking and improve puncture resistance, extending overall service life.
- WESTLAKE CB785 E4: For Rigid Dump Trucks, delivering stability and traction in severe off-road environments. Combining a deep E4 tread design, wear-, cut-, and heat-resistant compounds, reinforced sidewalls, and high-tensile steel wire construction, the CB785 ensures smooth running, reliable performance, and enhanced protection against cuts and punctures.
- WESTLAKE CB792 E3/L3 (750/65 R 25): Engineered for soft and muddy terrain. Its alternating multi-edged block design offers excellent flotation and super traction. A deeper tread depth and additional protective sidewalls minimise cutting damage, while the robust casing improves retreading ability.
- WESTLAKE CB740 E4/L4: Designed for articulated dump trucks, it is suited to slippery, muddy road conditions. Featuring an E4 pattern that is 17% deeper than TRA standards and a multi-block 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): 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.
