Heavy Truck Tire Specification Example for Fleet Maintenance: Reinforced Build
Heavy Truck Tire Specification Example for Fleet Maintenance: Reinforced Build
This is a worked specification for heavy truck tire in a reinforced build programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The reinforced build version exists because the duty cycle on fleet maintenance is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench.
Example specification
| Item | Heavy Truck Tire |
|---|---|
| Application | Fleet Maintenance |
| Version | Reinforced Build |
| Base material | Chromed Steel |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.05 mm |
| Finish | anodised |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | ECE R90 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Chromed Steel, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- assembly line testing
- die casting
- shot blasting
- electroplating
- rubber vulcanisation
- injection moulding
Where this example applies
Programmes that run reinforced build most often specify this build for fleet maintenance. Related applications include three-wheelers, delivery vans, municipal fleets, off-road bikes, dealership service.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the ECE R90-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
