OUR TYRE
TECHNICIANS
Whether your equipment needs new tyres, a repair, re-tread, rotation or inspection you can rely on our technicians to get the job done, efficiently, safely and to the very highest standards.
We have the largest team of qualified tyre technicians in the UK on hand to provide you with dedicated support backed by our highly experienced management team.
When you choose T&C Site Services you choose a team with, literally, hundreds of years of combined experience in the industry. And in a high-risk and technical industry such as earthmover/OTR tyre fitting, experience is vital.

Below is one of the training videos we use to ensure the highest on-site standards of tyre maintenance. It shows the use of the “Wheel Bar™” - an innovation we created to facilitate the safe removal of wheels for cranes without tyre-handlers.
Setting the Industry Standards
In 2019 we co-developed the first and only nationally IMI-recognised independent qualification for technicians in our industry.
The Earthmovers/OTR Tyre Fitters course was a joint collaboration between Roadside Safety and Continental Tyres and was accredited by the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI).
We provided all the technical content, videos (including actors and equipment), workbook/handout content and consultancy.
The course content includes eight modules and is conducted over a three-day period at approved venues. The course comprises:
-
Health and Safety including manual handling
-
Tyre sizes, load and speed markings
-
Tyre law
-
Removal/refitting tyre safety
-
Tyre/tube/removal/refitting
-
Practical demonstrations
-
Knowledge test
-
Practical skills test
This is now the industry standard training for technicians. All T&C Site Services eligible staff have completed the training and are fully qualified.
We continue to be involved in updates to the course.

Plus, our data capture systems provide additional confirmation of our on-site decisions providing you with the reassurance that the appropriate corrective action has been taken.

Why we train our staff to such high standards
Making the right decision for your business.
Tyres are the most expensive consumable on your vehicles, so the fewer tyre changes the lower your costs and higher your profitability.
However, earthmover and OTR tyre management require significant technical and mechanical knowledge if your tyres are to have an extended lifespan and maximise their cost-efficiency.
All our technicians have the experience and training to make the best economic decision for the tyre without compromising the safety or efficiency of your workplace - ensuring you can safely maximise your production capability.
Making the right choice for you is the cornerstone of our training.
More than Health & Safety
Changing a tyre on an earthmover or OTR vehicle is inherently dangerous. Alongside the risks associated with heavy vehicles and tyres are high-pressure explosions, working on unstable surfaces, etc.
In addition, your earthmover and OTR vehicles are often in hazardous environments like quarries, construction, ports, etc. where safety is fundamental to carrying out the job.
Our continuous training and professional development of both technicians and management ensure that our work is guaranteed safe and correct. This is evidenced by our track record.
Quality is assured when you engage T&C Site Services.
Leading industry training
Our extensive training program provides the bedrock of our ability to deliver consistently the highest standards of work.
All eligible staff are IMI Earthmovers/OTR Tyre Fitter certified (the highest recognised qualification in the industry).
All junior technicians are required to complete and pass our internal 12-month modular training programme covering all aspects of earthmover and OTR tyre fitting before being allowed to perform solo work.
