Empty Container Handler Tyres

Role of Empty Container Handler in the industry

An empty container handler is a high-capacity lifting machine used to stack, transport and position empty ISO containers within Ports and Terminals, where continuous flow and precise placement are essential. Operating with elevated mast heights and repetitive lift cycles, the machine must maintain stability under shifting loads and frequent directional changes. Tyres such as the MB01 and MR800+ support this function by providing strong load distribution, lateral control and predictable handling on paved container yards.

Types of Tyres Used in these Machines

Machines operating with Empty Container Handler Tyres rely on tread patterns and casing constructions that support high stacking heights, tight turning radii and long travel distances across container yards in Ports and Terminals. These tyres must combine strong sidewall reinforcement, low-slip characteristics and a footprint that maintains grip on smooth or slightly abrasive surfaces while supporting heavy mast movements.

Tyre Requirements for Reliable Performance

Tyres for empty container handlers must withstand sustained vertical loads during high-reach lifts, resist lateral deformation when stabilising tall stacks and minimise heat generation during continuous travel cycles. They require a rigid casing for precise manoeuvring, a compound optimised for abrasion resistance on hard pavements and a tread profile that maintains consistent traction during turning, braking and alignment operations. Reliable structural integrity and controlled deflection are critical to ensure safe, uninterrupted handling performance in demanding terminal environments.
