Continental presents its new Port Plus compound for port tires

The new crack- and abrasion-resistant compound extends the service life of port tires, even in the harshest conditions. ContiPressureCheck™ and ContiConnect increase efficiency and safety in the port industry

Improved abrasion resistance, rolling resistance and mileage: that is what Continental's new Port Plus compound offers. It was presented this year at TOC Europe in Rotterdam. Under the motto ?reliable tires, smart operations, efficient port terminals?, Continental will launch the new compound for its V.Ply port tire portfolio. The ContiPressureCheck™ and ContiConnect digital tire pressure monitoring systems will also be on display.

Port Plus: V.Ply Port Tires
Empty container handlers and loaded container handlers are used for loading and unloading containers. Forklift trucks pivot on the spot, the tires heat up very quickly and wear increases. Cracks and bulges in the tire are not uncommon. Continental's new Port Plus compound reduces heat build-up in the tire, minimizes wear and considerably extends its service life. ?We carried out on-site tests with our customers over the past year and found cases where tire life even doubled,? explains Julian Alexander, Product Manager at Continental CST (Commercial Specialty Tires/industrial tires).
