Support Our Industry

October was transport month and we at BridCam are raising awareness about the important role that transport plays in the economic development of any country.  One of the fundamental aspects of transport is the tyres!

Our mission is to provide not only great service to all our loyal and potential customers but to provide premium, quality products at affordable prices. Our passion is to understand our market and meet the individual needs of each of our customers with efficiency and professionalism.

Commercial trucks and trailers

We strive to find the correct product to suit every application which in turn maximises kilometres and minimises downtime.

Factors which ensure the lowest cost per kilometre (Products with low rolling resistance like the Bridgestone Ecopia range):

  • Fuel-saving products which are found in the new technology of the Bridgestone Ecopia range.
  • Correct tyre pressure is one of the most underrated problems which causes low mileage and irregular tyre wear.
  • Ensuring wheel alignment issues are resolved which can cause aggressive tyre wear, irregular tyre wear and high rolling resistance which ultimately affects the fuel consumption.
  • Inspecting for mechanical wear, normally occurring on trailers because of worn bushes or bent stabilizers.
  • Regular mechanical and wheel alignment every 30 000 kilometres.

Whether for transport or agriculture, at Magaliesburg Supa Quick, we ensure you purchase the most cost effective, high-performing product that will benefit your business and ultimately add to your bottom line.

Agricultural tractors and implements

What is the benefit of fitting premium products such as Bridgestone and Firestone tyres?

  • There is extensive development and technology that goes into the casing and tread of premium products.
  • The enhanced performance of premium products lengthens the life of a tyre.
  • Premium products provide a much lower subsoil compaction.
  • Premium products provide more traction and less tyre slip.
  • Premium products provide a lower rolling resistance that leads to a faster work rate, this means spending less time preparing or planting a field.  Furthermore, this lengthens the life of the tractor and saves fuel which is one of the biggest expenses.

Why premium products over imports or cheaper brands?

  • Imported patterns are old-generation patterns that are discarded by the brand designers of premium product.
  • The rolling resistance, subsoil compaction and traction in import tyres are all old technology and cannot compete with the current technology which exists in premium products.
  • Another reason that imported tyres are much cheaper is that the tyre carcass is a lot lighter offering less protection and structure.
  • Rubber compounds on imported tyres are not as durable.
  • Penetration levels on import tyres are a lot lower because of the weaker tyre carcass.
  • Imports have less carcass flexibility.
  • Bottom line—“goedkoop koop is duur koop” or buy cheap and quickly repeat.

Whether for transport or agriculture, at Magaliesburg Supa Quick, we ensure you purchase the most cost effective, high-performing product that will benefit your business and ultimately add to your bottom line.
