Portterminal industrial tires are engineered for the high-demand environment of port terminals, where equipment like container handlers, reach stackers, and port forklifts operate continuously to load and unload shipping containers. These tires are designed to support extreme heavy loads—critical for lifting and moving full shipping containers—with an internal structure featuring reinforced steel belts and a high-tensile carcass that distributes weight evenly. The rubber compound is formulated to resist abrasion from concrete terminal surfaces and exposure to saltwater (a common port environment hazard), preventing premature degradation. The tread pattern is optimized for stability during high-load lifts and precise maneuvering, with wide ribs that enhance lateral stability when moving containers across the terminal. Additionally, the tires are designed to minimize rolling resistance, improving fuel efficiency for equipment that operates long hours with constant movement.
