TRG Africa

Your independent tyre gatekeeper

OTR Tyre & Rim Management

TRG Africa provides practical, site-based OTR tyre and rim management support across opencast and underground mining environments.

Our services include tyre and rim maintenance, performance monitoring, safety support, training, audits, incident investigations, reporting, systems optimisation, industrial products and tooling.

From smaller support equipment to ultra-class mining tyres up to 63 inch, every tyre and rim position receives the same level of focus, because every position carries safety risk, operational impact and cost exposure.

TRG Africa combines local African leadership with selected TRG Group systems, methodologies and technical experience, supporting a culture of innovation, continuous improvement, co-operation, openness and transparent accountability.

The TRG Africa Difference

Why Independence Matters

TRG Africa is independent from all tyre OEMs.

This independence allows the company to assess tyre performance objectively, support multi-brand fleets and provide recommendations based on safety, site conditions, tyre life, cost per hour, cost per tonne, equipment performance and total value to the mining operation.

TRG Africa’s focus is to help clients make informed tyre and rim management decisions that support safety, productivity and reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Leadership Experience and Capability

TRG Africa’s leadership team has over 100 years of combined experience in mining tyre and rim management, heavy mobile equipment operations and site-based service delivery.

This experience includes involvement in tyre management, tyre performance improvement, safety systems, training and competency support, workforce management, reporting, continuous improvement, systems optimisation and transparent client-facing operational delivery.

The team has worked with large-scale mining fleets and heavy mobile equipment applications, including the largest mining tyre operations in Africa.

The team’s combined experience enables TRG Africa to deliver practical, site-specific solutions aligned to safety, production and commercial objectives. This experience includes managing complex operational challenges, where practical planning, fleet prioritisation and proactive tyre management were required to protect production continuity and control cost exposure.

Core Systems and Reporting Approach

TRG Africa uses structured tyre management systems and reporting processes to manage tyre assets, rim assets, fitment history, tyre inspections, pressure data, defects, inventory, tyre removals, damage causes and performance trends.

The reporting approach is designed to provide mining clients with clear, transparent and unbiased visibility of tyre performance, risk areas, cost drivers and improvement actions.

Where required, TRG Africa can support client selected tyre management systems, reporting platforms and digital tools to improve data quality, reporting accuracy and operational decision-making.

Safety Approach

Everyone Goes Home Safely Every Day.

TRG Africa’s transparent safety approach is built on experience, planning, consistency, competency, critical controls, and in-field verification.

Key focus areas include critical tyre and rim controls, safe work execution, fit for purpose tooling and equipment, risk management, safe work instructions, and training support.

TRG Africa promotes a knowledge-sharing culture that supports individual growth, builds practical experience and strengthens safe, consistent tyre and rim management across site operations.
