Schmitz Cargobull has assigned Ultra-Seal as its exclusive tyre sealant supplier for selected tyres of Schmitz Cargobull trailers

From May 2018, Schmitz Cargobull is offering trailer tyres with Ultra-Seal to its customers. The partnership with Ultra-Seal was finalized after having performed a comprehensive testing and clearance phase of the combination of Ultra-Seal with tyres, rims and valves.

The 3-year contract between Schmitz Cargobull and Ultra-Seal involves supplier warranty on tyres and rims for approved combinations when using Ultra-Seal.

Carla van Santvoort, Manager of Ultra-Seal says: 

“The timing of completing the cooperation between Schmitz Cargobull and Ultra-Seal is perfect; we have put great effort into clearing some of the aspects that might raise questions or cause reluctance with end-users, such as the technical aspect on the warranty of rims and the political lobby against Ultra-Seal and the attack it has suffered from tyre associations.

As Ultra-Seal has won all court cases against the BundesReifenVerband (BRV), it has shown that these aspects are no longer an issue. Furthermore, third-party suppliers are now offering normal warranty, so the road is cleared for customers to get maximum performance from their tyres, which we of course heavily applaud.

We have worked hard on shifting the perception of an accepted tyre life towards an ‘I won’t settle for less’ mentality. This is a huge step forward in the tyre industry.”

Final and binding court decision again in favour of Ultra-Seal against the BRV

 

Ultra-Seal has come to an agreement with GTO Piese de Schimb SRL for the distributorship rights for the sale of Ultra-Seal in Romania, Bulgaria and Moldavia.
 

GTO Piese de Schimb SRL has over 20 years of transport-related industry experience and focuses on reselling parts and spare parts to end-users in Romania. The Romanian company’s headquarters is based in Bucharest, with 7 subsidiaries throughout Romania.

‘The ultimate tyre life extender’ is a preventative tyre sealant liquid which was invented to protect tyres from leaks, punctures and blowouts.

It seals most punctures as they happen, it ensures heat reduction, extends tyre life by keeping the air pressure in the tyre, minimises tyre wear and reduces fuel consumption.

It remains effective for the complete life of the tyre, without having to undergo extra maintenance. Ultra-Seal is environmentally friendly and provides the driver with an extra safety factor.

* Breaking results on punctured tyres after 10 months of normal trailer operation

Ultra-Seal’s demonstration trailer that came out of the factory in May 2016, had
Ultra-Seal in all 6 tyres, 9 bar air pressure per tyre from the start and the trailer
was equipped with Goodride tyres.

On 29 July 2016, this test video was shot:

The test specifications were:

All 3 tyres on the left side of trailer were punctured with 10 nails per tyre. The nails were 5cm long, the top of the nails 5.5mm wide and the head of the nails had a diameter of 8mm.

After these left-sided tyres were punctured 10 times each, no tyre repair, change or adjustments had been carried out. Only the air was checked; no air loss had occurred, so the trailer was sent into normal operation then and there.

On 29 May 2017 the trailer came in for annual MOT in Sweden. It still had the same 6 tyres under the vehicle and no tyre pressure adjustments, changes or repairs were carried out between July 2016 and May 2017.

The trailer drove about 79,000KM in its first year of operation.

The results from the tyre measurements are ground breaking:

Tyre Pressure

*Measured on cold tyres which negatively influences tyre pressure with about 0.2 BAR

Remaining Tread

The result showed that the tyres, punctured or not (even 10 punctures per tyre!), had a fully equal air pressure both left and right!

The remaining tread in millimetres showed a fantastic result as well and indicated that these tyres could still be used for driving another 80,000 KM.

Ultra-Seal hopes for an end to wrongful allegations

After this second successful case for Ultra-Seal, the company now hopes that the BRV will stop attacking Ultra-Seal whilst doing business in Germany.
Many German and International companies like DSV, DHL, Ewals Cargo Care, TIP Trailer Services, Bring, Ancotrans, UES, Mezger and ICTS Group already benefit from optimum tyre usage, as they are benefitting from maximum tyre wear reduction, fewer punctures and optimum tyre pressure when using Ultra-Seal in its tyres.

Ultra-Seal states: “An open dialogue with the BRV has been proposed on numerous occasions, but this has been rejected. We will continue to defend our product against any illegal statements, defamation and libel of our business.”
