Material Handler Tyres

Role of Material Handler in the industry

A material handler is a specialised lifting and sorting machine designed to manage bulk materials, scrap, timber and waste streams across Construction environments and heavy Recycling settings. Its elevated cab, long reach boom and continuous grab cycles demand high stability, predictable ground contact and strong load management. Because these machines operate on mixed and uneven surfaces while carrying significant upper-structure weight, tyres such as the MB01, M-STACKER and MA608 provide the structural support, traction and casing rigidity needed for safe and efficient on-site performance.

Types of Tyres Used in these Machines

Machines fitted with Material handler tyres require tread patterns and constructions that can withstand repeated slewing, continuous lifting cycles and exposure to abrasive ground conditions typical of Construction and Recycling settings. These tyres must balance strong sidewall reinforcement with a footprint that maintains stability during boom movements, ensuring controlled travel and dependable handling on paved yards, compacted soil or debris-covered surfaces.

Tyre Requirements for Reliable Performance

Tyres on material handlers must support substantial upper-structure mass with minimal deformation, provide consistent traction during positional adjustments, and resist heat build-up from low-speed, high-load operations. They require a reinforced casing to absorb lateral forces produced by continuous swing motions, along with a tread compound engineered for wear resistance in abrasive recycling yards. Stability, cut protection and uniform pressure distribution are essential to maintain safe lifting precision and uninterrupted operational throughput.
