Otr Tire Truck Specification Example for Municipal Fleets: Heavy Duty
Otr Tire Truck Specification Example for Municipal Fleets: Heavy Duty
This is a worked specification for otr tire truck in a heavy duty 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 heavy duty version exists because the duty cycle on municipal fleets is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a specification nobody had written down.

- 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
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. DOT documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the DOT-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
