It is well known that tire efficiency directly affects performance and fuel consumption in any application, thus influencing overall productivity. For this reason, machine manufacturers, especially tractor manufacturers, always conduct extensive homologation tests before offering their customers a specific set of tires, ensuring that the tires in question best match the characteristics of the machines they will be mounted on.
However, it is true that in agricultural settings, certainties are rare commodities, and there is no agricultural or livestock farm that does not have to deal with specific operational situations. Hence, even the best equipment in certain situations may falter if not optimized in terms of installation and usage pressures, a situation that becomes more common as tires work, wear out, or become damaged due to accidents. In these cases, it is essential to have experienced professionals on hand to intervene promptly to assist operators.
Interfit point
Yokohama Tws has tackled this issue head-on through a service organization under the brand Interfit, which operates in more than 20 countries. With expertise in the tire sector and a wide range of products, the organization is the ideal partner for specialists in material handling machines, agriculture, and construction who aim to maximize revenues while maintaining control over their tire-related operations.
The debut in Italy at Fieragricola 2024 featured a stand where Interfit Point partners gathered, specialists in their respective territories capable of operating professionally and promptly according to their geographical expertise. This ensures operators and companies turning to Interfit have access to a wide range of products and services, provided by specialized and competent technicians, to address equipment problems that may afflict their machines. Each customer is assisted by customer service from the initial call until the completion of the work, and every aspect of the service is structured to minimize machine downtime.
Support for optimizing costs
Services range from the sale and installation of new equipment to on-field tire replacement in case of damage, technical consultancy with the possibility of Interfit personnel conducting periodic machine inspections followed by any necessary preventive maintenance based on direct observation of field imprints. Consultations aimed at fine-tuning complete wheel or tire conversions to address specific activities, defining optional equipment for uses other than primary ones, and optimizing spare sets when original tires are depleted are also strategic. In this case, technicians analyze and evaluate the operational status of the entire machine to define the best compromise between expected performance and costs.
Interfit, not only agricultural assistance
Beyond agriculture, Interfit’s services also impact sectors such as material handling, construction, and building sites. In each field, products that best suit the ongoing types of work are offered, even including complete set replacements if the application necessitates it. On-site tire repairs are also provided, ranging from puncture repairs to direct tire repolymerization. When a tire is damaged, the oxidation of the steel carcass can cause almost immediate failure. In such cases, the rubber in the damaged area is removed down to the steel, and the new rubber is polymerized on-site to prevent future oxygen intrusion.
