"My name is Keith Heeres and I describe myself as an Off The Road Specialist. How I make my living is by servicing and supporting customers that need help finding the right Off-The-Road (OTR) wheels, rims, tires and related services and products. The types of customers I deal with routinely are Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM's), commercial tire dealers, equipment dealers, equipment owners, construction companies, paving companies, rental services, parts suppliers, and the government and defense contractors. In my over 20 years working in this industry and with the range of products the company I work for offers. I have been exposed to just about every type of rubber tired vehicle you can imagine. I can confidently say I pretty much know something about any type of wheel and rim product that is produced by any manufacturer now and in the past. Off-The-Road (OTR) as opposed to Over-The-Road (OTR)? The OTR acronym throws people a lot. I am constantly clearing this up with customers and new callers to the office. Over-The-Road is a term commonly associated with truck drivers who earn their living driving semi-trucks and pulling trailers loaded with freight.

Over-The-Road cranes Aircraft wheels Exception: We do supply Over-The-Road wheels and rims for vehicle and equipment manufacturers to certain OEM customers that have that requirement for DOT or European U.N.E.C.E certified products. Off-The-Road (OTR) is the term associated with vehicles and equipment that are intended to operate mostly off improved or paved roads or roads at all, at operating speeds of less than 45 mph.
