Continental’s RDT-Master off-the-road tire has been approved for use on Caterpillar’s Off-Highway Rigid Dump Trucks globally. Facing the multiple requirements of earthmoving tire fitments, Continental’s RDT-Master range includes three different sizes: 18.00 R33, 21.00 R33, and 24.00 R35. These tire sizes are approved for CAT 770, 772, 773, 775, and 775 WTR machine models.

Continental’s RDT-Master has been designed to meet the rigorous demands of construction and mining operations, and this endorsement highlights the quality, durability, and performance of the tires in the earthmoving segment.

“We are excited that Caterpillar is expanding its tire range with the RDT-Master from us. This exemplifies our growth ambitions in the earthmoving segment. We steadfastly commit to push forward as a strong partner for our customers empowering them with unparalleled support and tailor-made solutions.”

said Carly Shipley, Key Account Manager for the Earthmoving original equipment at Continental Specialty Tires.

With this commitment to innovation and sustainability, Continental delivers all its radial earthmover tires like the RDT-Master as intelligent tires. These feature the latest Bluetooth-enabled sensor Generation II ex-factory ready for digital tire management. This allows all customers to read essential tire life data such as air pressure and temperature directly via their smartphone without extra investment. Digital tire management decisively increases operational safety while it ensures a maximum service life. This helps reduce the total cost of ownership and promotes sustainable use of materials.
