Sizes used – , , ( Tonne)
All 6 Tires (4 Front & 2 Back) use the same tire size
Front tires are the drive wheels and hence Lug pattern
is preferred in front (re-treading of these tires is common)
Rear tire is the steer tire and hence wear is faster
Higher tread gauge and smooth IND-5S / IND-4S tires are
hence preferred by some operators
Rear tires invariably fail due to lug cracks
which propagate across the carcass which is an
Additional reason for customers preference for smooth
rear patterns

is used in containers which can handle tonnes in the first row stacking but only Tonnes in the third row
is used in containers which can handle tonnes in the first row stacking but only Tonnes in the third row
is used in containers which can handle tonnes in the first row stacking but only 45 Tonnes in the third row – 45/45/45
The requirements of reach stackers, heavy forklifts, and empty
container handlers are diverse. When lifting and stacking
containers, they need to move with the agility of a car but with
the stability of a tank. Furthermore, they have to be reliable
and economical in the process.
Compared to straddle carriers, these vehicles handle
enormous loads on single axles. Potholes and uneven surfaces
can cause the vehicle to tilt, especially when carrying heavy
loads at higher speeds or when turning a corner. When
handling such heavy loads, the vehicle can become unstable
increasing the risk of an accident. All in all, reach stackers,
heavy forklifts, and empty container handlers require tyres
with exceptional load capacity, superior damping properties,
and outstanding maneuverability for smooth operation at
their full potential.

PREMIUM
Galaxy Port Star Plus / Alliance 315
Features-
Heavy Duty Construction:
Specially Constructed Casing: Resists separations
between plies as well as between the tread and the
casing to enable working under high stress conditions
Reinforced Bead Bundle: High turn up around bead
results in less flexing in bead area, which protects the
bead and minimize the chances of bead failure
High Lug to Void ratio: Wide flat tread with high
ground contact for even wear & long life
Why Port Star Plus?
Designed for continues operation of a reach stacker on hard
improved surfaces. The wide profile, greater ground contact area
& maximum NSD makes this tire provide the lowest cost per
hr demanded by equipment contractors
