Port operations: here are BKT's solutions

Agro Napló2022. március 1. 12:17

The PORTMAX range offers tires suitable for the various machines operating in port hubs, guaranteeing resistance, traction and complete safety.

Resistance, maximum traction on dry and wet surfaces, high durability over time: these are all essential characteristics for tires intended for port operations. In addition to their "general" needs, it is important to say that each machine operating in these environments has very specific characteristics and consequently the tire must be meticulously designed.

Bridge cranes, for example, need solutions with very robust casings that can withstand the considerable weight of the machinery. Container handling vehicles, on the other hand, require tires that guarantee maximum operational efficiency and exceptional stability when lifting; in particular, for reach stackers, tires are needed that ensure excellent maneuverability and optimal control in lifting mode. And again, terminal tractors, given the long distances they travel, require maximum resistance to wear and tear and excellent grip.

BKT's range of port tires offers solutions suitable for the different machinery operating in port hubs, offering tires with specific characteristics and features for each application.

BKT tires meet the needs of logistics and port handling and can operate on irregular and treacherous areas, worksites with rough cemented surfaces, and can lift heavy loads in complete safety. In particular, BKT's PORTMAX radial range offers solutions that are suitable for these applications.
