The Chinese manufacturer and its Italian distributor Sunebo will use the May exhibition to put real-time tyre monitoring for quarry and mining operations front and centre alongside a refreshed OTR and TBR line-up.

Triangle Tyre and its Italian OTR and TBR distributor Sunebo return to SaMoTer in Verona this May with a stand that gives European construction and quarrying professionals their first close look at Triangle's OTR-specific tyre pressure monitoring system alongside two new product sizes for loader and ADT applications.

SaMoTer — the international exhibition for earthmoving and construction vehicles, runs from 5 to 9 May at Veronafiere, and Triangle and Sunebo will occupy booth F3 in Hall 11. The decision to lead with TPMS at a machine-focused show signals a deliberate shift in how Triangle is positioning itself to European OTR buyers: not solely on tyre product, but on the operational data those tyres can generate.

The Triangle TPMS has been developed specifically for OTR fitments and delivers real-time pressure and temperature tracking. For fleet managers and site operators, that means the ability to identify under-inflation events before they cause tyre failure or unplanned machine downtime, a significant cost driver in quarry and mining environments where an ADT tyre change can take a machine out of service for hours. The system's relevance to high-value, low-quantity OTR fleets is clear: tyre costs per machine are orders of magnitude higher than in road transport, and monitoring pays back faster.

On the product side, Triangle will exhibit the TL538S+ in 29.5R25 two-star L5, a loader tyre with a super-deep rock-traction tread designed, according to Triangle, to minimise breakdown frequency while the reinforced shoulder construction provides sidewall protection in abrasive underfoot conditions. Alongside it, the TB598S in 23.5R25 two-star E4 targets articulated dump truck operators in quarry and construction environments; its non-directional, self-cleaning tread pattern is engineered, the manufacturer says, for traction, flotation, and resistance to stone penetration and structural damage.

The TBR line-up adds two patterns from Triangle's latest regional generation. The TRS28 in 385/65R22.5 is a steer and trailer tyre developed for regional and long-haul transport, with even wear and extended service life as primary design targets. The TRD2 in 315/80R22.5 addresses the drive axle for regional work, with the manufacturer citing wet and dry traction performance as the compound's core attribute.

Triangle has operated an Italian office in Milan specifically to serve European market customers, and the Sunebo partnership gives the brand dedicated OTR and TBR distribution in a market where Italian quarrying and infrastructure activity sustains consistent demand for heavy-duty fitments. The company, listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange since 2016, distributes across more than 180 countries and manufactures OTR tyres for rims up to 63 inches, spanning surface and underground mining applications.

For OTR tyre wholesalers and fleet businesses operating in the European construction and quarrying sectors, SaMoTer represents a practical buying-cycle moment. Triangle's decision to integrate TPMS into its exhibition stand (rather than treating it as a separate product category) suggests the company is positioning the technology as a standard consideration alongside tyre selection, not an aftermarket add-on.

Wholesalers advising quarry operators should be prepared for customer questions about monitoring compatibility from the outset of any OTR fitment conversation, particularly as total cost of ownership arguments increasingly define purchasing decisions at fleet level.
