Port Tires: Reach Stacker 18.00-25 Buyer Checklist

Port tires carry some of the highest loads of any tire in the world. A reach stacker lifting a loaded 40-foot container puts huge weight on the front axle while turning on concrete.

Common Port Tire Sizes

• 18.00-25: reach stackers and empty container handlers
• 18.00-33: heavy front axles on large stackers
• 16.00-25 and 14.00-24: straddle carriers and terminal tractors

Ply Rating Matters Most

Port tires run at very high pressure. Ratings of 40PR are common on 18.00-25. Always match the rating to the machine maker’s chart.

Tread Choice

Concrete yards wear tires by scrubbing during tight turns. An IND-3 or IND-4 deep tread lasts longer. Smooth tires are used in some steel mills.

Pressure and Heat

Check pressures daily. A small drop on a heavy front axle overloads the sidewall and causes bead damage.

Port Tires From One Supplier

Terminals usually buy port tires together with forklift and truck tires. See 18.00-25 tires, container handler tires and industrial tires. The reach stacker article shows how these machines work.
