Major projects for manufacturer of recycled rubber products
Tyrex solutions is a locally owned business in Cardiff that has been servicing Australia for over 40 years with recycled rubber products.
Using recycled car tyres Tyrex makes everything from threshold ramps, anti-fatigue matting, welcome mats all the way up to the products used in the mining and industrial sectors.
Tyrex’s main product range is its threshold and step ramps.
Tyrex’s aim has always been making access easy for everyone no matter what their circumstances. The business believes one of the reasons for its success has been because it listens to its customers and its ability to adapt to change. Tyrex has experienced particularly significant growth in its custom ramps.
The company has had a number of major projects recently including:
• New Zealand export - One of New Zealand’s leading aged care providers has jumped on board with Tyrex to provide safe and durable products for the aged and less able.
• Form work runners for tarring roads - Tyrex has been given the opportunity to start rolling out form work to substitute timber when tarring roads and it has given them the chance to allow heavy machinery (and high temperatures) to test the toughness of the product under extreme working conditions, So far the feedback has been outstanding.
• Portable personalised ramps - This has been one of Tyrex’s biggest projects in 2016. These ramps have the potential to will revolutionise this industry. The new personalized portable ramps are designed specifically for each local area, as research shows that most places in a town have very similar height steps into shops.
The ramps are also designed to be lightweight, extremely tough, variable width and portable – they can even be hung over the back of a wheelchair without being in the way. Tyrex has had great feedback for this product and are looking forward to continuing their research into early 2017 with this product.
• Ladder wedges - Another new project Tyrex has been involved in is supplying ladder wedges to Energy Australia.
Not only is this a great way of stopping ladders from slipping on the ground but also acts as an electricity breaker which as we could save lives.
