When a loader, haul truck, or articulated dump truck goes down with a tire failure, production stops. FEC Trucks provides fast, safe, and fully equipped mobile OTR (off-the-road) tire service across New Jersey and Pennsylvania—bringing the tire bay to your pit, plant, or jobsite so your fleet gets back to work with minimal downtime.
Who We Serve
Aggregates & Quarries: wheel loaders, rigid/ADT haul trucks, dozers, graders
Construction & Sitework: scrapers, compactors, pipe crews, landfill operations
Industrial & Ports: container yards, steel mills, heavy manufacturing
Municipal & Utilities: transfer stations, power plants, ROW maintenance
Coverage includes North/South Jersey, the Delaware Valley, Lehigh Valley, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Harrisburg/York/Lancaster, and Greater Philadelphia/Pittsburgh corridors.
Field Tire Change-Outs (51"–63"): demount/mount, rotations, and match-mounting for even wear
Repairs & Inspection: on-site sections (where permitted), patch/plug, bead seat cleaning, rim/flange inspection
Pressure & Temperature Management: nitrogen or air inflation to spec, thermal checks, tread depth logging
Torque & Fastening Control: calibrated hydraulic torque tools with documented patterns
Condition Reporting: digital photos, serials, tread/heat readings, and recommendations tied to each unit
The FEC Trucks Advantage
Purpose-Built Service Rigs: High-capacity manipulators (8,000–16,000 lb class), remote-controlled cranes, 185–300+ CFM air, remote inflation lines, scene lighting, and organized tooling so every task is fast and repeatable.
Safety First by Design: Interlocks, e-stops, outrigger sensors, hose-burst valves, and stand-off inflation protocols keep techs out of pinch zones and away from blast paths.
Operator-Centered Ergonomics: Non-slip decks, shadow-boarded tools, ground-level service points, and clear egress reduce fatigue and error.
Data You Can Use: Each service event generates a clean log (tread, heat, torque, pressures, defects found) to feed your tire program and maintenance planning.
Rapid Response That Protects Uptime
Dispatch: You call with tire size, machine, and location; we roll with the correct casing, rim parts, and compounds.
Secure & Stabilize: Spot safely, chock/crib, verify load-free position, and tag out.
Demount/Inspect: Clean bead seats, inspect rim hardware, document damage and root cause.
Mount/Inflate: Lube, align, mount, torque sequence, and remote inflate to spec; verify with thermal checks.
Release & Report: Return the unit to service and send a digital summary with next-step recommendations.
Why Uptime and Tire Life Improve With FEC
Fewer Repeat Calls: Correct torque and bead work reduce loosening, separations, and heat build-up.
Longer Service Intervals: Consistent PSI and rotation schedules slow irregular wear.
Safer Jobsites: Engineered controls reduce risk to people and iron, lowering incident costs.
Predictable Costs: Structured inspections and reporting prevent small problems from becoming major failures.
Common Problems We Solve—And How
Bead Damage & Air Loss: We clean and dress bead seats, replace damaged O-rings, and re-seat with correct lube and pressure ramp.
Irregular Wear (cupping/feathering): Diagnose alignment, loading, and PSI issues; adjust pressures and rotation plans.
Heat Separation: Thermal profiling pinpoints under-inflation or over-speed/over-load conditions; we reset specs and monitor.
Frequent Loose Hardware: Apply verified torque sequences and inspect rim components for wear or stretch.
Safety, Compliance, and Training
Our teams follow site-specific orientations and industry best practices for OTR tire work, including stand-off inflation, exclusion zones, cribbing standards, and energy control. We coordinate with your supervisors to align procedures with your MSHA/OSHA policies and site rules.
Build a Smarter OTR Program
FEC Trucks helps you move from reactive calls to a planned tire management program:
Unit-level pressure targets by load and haul distance
Rotation intervals tied to tread and heat data
Casing tracking for repair/retread decisions
Budget forecasting based on wear curves and cycle times
Service Areas at a Glance
New Jersey: North Jersey, Central Jersey, South Jersey, Shore and Pinelands industrial corridors
Pennsylvania: Greater Philly and suburbs, Lehigh Valley, Northeast PA, Central PA, and Pittsburgh region
When to Call FEC Trucks
Sidewall damage, rapid PSI loss, or visible bead/rim issues
Heat alerts, irregular wear patterns, or repeated re-torques
Scheduled rotations, pre-shutdown change-outs, or fleet overhauls
Start-of-project baseline inspections for a new fleet mix
Every minute a heavy unit sits on a bad tire is lost production. FEC Trucks’ mobile OTR service keeps New Jersey and Pennsylvania fleets moving with mine-grade tooling, safety-first processes, and actionable data. Whether it is an emergency change-out at a quarry or a planned rotation across your construction fleet, we get in, do it right, document it, and get you back to work.
