Oliver Rubber Co. introduces new regional/long-haul trailer retread

Retread company Oliver Rubber Co. LLC has announced the launch of the ORCO HS Trailer, a trailer-position retread for regional and long-haul applications.

“The ORCO HS Trailer delivers a cost-efficient solution for single- and tandem-axle trailers in this new, modern Oliver product,” said Adam Murphy, vice president of marketing for Michelin Americas Truck Tires. “It provides a winning combination of long, even wear and excellent wet traction for a variety of trailer applications.”

The ORCO HS Trailer utilizes Oliver’s exclusive tread feature called VDI Plus. This tread resists stone retention and other road debris and helps enforce any pull point schedule. It has a shallow tread depth of 11/32nds for cool running, the company said. It is available in four sizes: 205, 210, 220 and 230. All Oliver retreads carry a national warranty to 2/32nds of tread depth.
