'plant tyre protectors are not iv, but I still get enquiries from ders about them. A booklet led by the makers, entitled hat you should know about plant tyre protectors', sets their down-time saving ential for the fleet user.

'he protector, which is made n several layers of cord ered with a rubber skin, looks section like the side wall of ,re. It is placed inside the tyre /omen the inner tube and the 'erside of the tyre tread. Any rp object penetrating the id. is prevented from piercing

inner tube, while cord damage caused by running over rough ground is virtually eliminated by the protector which absorbs the shock loads.

For a typical 20.00-10.00 tyre, a protector costs £25.40; it is interchangeable and, it is claimed, lasts for at least six years. If in this time it prevents just one puncture it will have not only paid for itself in terms of replacement tyre cost but also in reduced down-time.

For details about tyre protectors and a copy of the booklet apply to Moplant Tyre Protectors Ltd, Unit 12, Dorking Road. Poole, Dorset, BH 15 4JP.
