Straddle Carrier Tires

Trelleborg straddle carrier tires are engineered for intensive continuous operation in container terminals, seaports, and intermodal transshipment centers. Straddle carriers move ISO sea containers in multiple layers and rows. In doing so, the tires bear the entire system weight and are permanently exposed to high lateral and vertical forces. The Trelleborg port tire series offers high load capacity, reinforced protection against cuts and punctures on terminal surfaces, and a longer service life than conventional port tires.

Whether compact two-high straddle carrier or large four-high straddle carrier: in the Trelleborg range you will find the right tire for your straddle carrier. All models are available in common port tire sizes and are optimized for different operating profiles -- container handling on paved terminal surfaces, mixed operation on asphalt and concrete, and heavy-duty operation with increased stacking heights.

Depending on the operating environment, different demands are placed on your straddle carrier tires. The Trelleborg range covers the full spectrum of port applications.

Container handling on paved terminal surfaces: Tires with a uniform tread design and low rolling resistance for continuous operation on asphalt and concrete. The high mileage output reduces downtime and tire-change costs in 24/7 operations.

Heavy-duty operation with increased stacking heights: Models with a reinforced carcass and higher load index for straddle carriers that stack containers in three or four layers. The reinforced sidewall protects against damage when maneuvering in tight container aisles.

Mixed operation on varying surfaces: Tires with a multi-purpose tread for terminals with changing ground conditions -- from smooth concrete to rough asphalt and temporary storage areas.

Intermodal terminals and inland ports: Special sizes for smaller straddle carriers in rail terminal and inland waterway operations with an adapted load index.
