Reach Stacker Tyres
Trusted in Ports Worldwide.

Role of Reach Stacker in the industry

A reach stacker is a heavy-duty container handling machine designed to lift, transport and stack ISO containers over short distances in dense yard layouts, primarily within Port & Terminal operations and related Industrial applications. It combines high lifting capacity with extended boom reach to service multiple rail tracks or stack rows while maintaining stability on paved surfaces. Because these machines operate with elevated load centres, dynamic mast movements and frequent travel cycles, correctly specified Reach stacker tyres such as the MB01, MB01S, M-STACKER, M-STACKER+, MB02, MB300, MB300+, MR800+ and MA600 are essential to secure load-carrying capability, lateral stability and predictable handling under extreme operating conditions.

Types of Tyres Used in these Machines

Machines operating on Reach stacker tyres must accommodate steer, drive and load positions that are exposed to high static and dynamic forces during lifting, turning and braking. Tyre constructions for Port & Terminal environments are typically engineered with robust industrial patterns, deep tread depths and reinforced sidewalls to manage slow-speed manoeuvring, intense cornering forces and surface irregularities such as joints or ramps. In demanding Industrial applications, these tyres must also tolerate abrasive surfaces, local contamination and repeated position corrections as operators align spreaders with containers on road, rail or yard stacks.

Tyre Requirements for Reliable Performance

For reliable performance, reach stacker tyres must provide very high load indices, controlled deflection and a stable footprint to prevent excessive mast sway when handling containers at height. The casing design must resist fatigue from cyclic loading and torsional stresses created during tight turning under full load. Tread compounds require strong resistance to abrasion, heat build-up and chunking on rough or contaminated pavements, while maintaining sufficient traction on wet or dusty surfaces. Uniform contact pressure, high lateral stiffness and robust bead integrity are critical technical parameters to ensure consistent stability, safe braking and long service life in continuous container handling duty.
