Tires for Drayage and Truck of Port

Tires of service heavy for transport of containers, chassis intermodales and operations of terminal portuaria. Built for loads maximums and conditions hard of yard.

Port and Terminal Transport of Contenedores Intermodal

What Es the Drayage and Por What Importan the Tires

The drayage is the transport of short distance of containers marítimos between ports, terminales ferroviarias, distribution centers and warehouses. Es the first and última mile crítica of the cadena of suministro intermodal, connecting the load marítima and the shipments ferroviarios a your destinos finales. Si well the trips drayage are short, a menudo of less than 80 km, the demands a the tires are between the more severe of the transport commercial. Every load is to the weight vehicular bruto legal máximo or near it. The surfaces of the port yards are rough, full of debris and repletas of giros cerrados alrededor of containers apilados. The tires of chassis permanecen inactivas by days or semanas, losing pressure, and then se loadn to the máximo without inspection.

The failures of tires in operations drayage no only are costsas of reparar. Create retrasos in casevery through the cadena of suministro. A tire resaleda in a chassis in a terminal portuaria bloquea a carril, retrasa the processing in the door and can resultar in cargos by demora that superan the cost of the tire same. The economy by turno in drayage is ajustada, and each minuto that a truck is waiting a cambio of tire is a turno no completedo. operators drayage that invierten in tires of quality and maintenance adecuado superan consistentmente a quienes buscan the cost per unit more low, because the time of inactivity avoidsdo and the llamadas of service in highway more that compensan the higher price of buy.

The tires Hanksugi aborgive the demands specific of operations drayage and port with tires designed for maximum capacity of load, resistance a punctures and durability in surfaces rough. The tire all-position HS64+ KRATO MIX maneja the needes of steer and all-position of tractores drayage with a compound resistant to grietas that rechaza the debris of the port. The tire of drive usa a compound resistant to cuts and chunking built for the conditions mixed of surface of highway and terminal that the trucks drayage enfrentan daily. The tire of trailer , with four belts of steel for resistance a punctures, is the option right for chassis intermodales that transport containers of weight máximo.

Challenges for Tires Drayage by Entorno

The operations drayage cover three entornos distintos, and each ataca the tires of manera different. Comprender the peligros specific of each entorno ayuda to the managers of fleet a seleccionar tires that sobrevivan to the cycle of work complete, no only a part.

Port Terminal / Yard

  • Debris everywhere: Broken twist locks, fragments of container sealss, pernos, alambre and vidrio of load damaged
  • Superficies rough: Concrete agrietado, sealed uneven roads, cruces of rieles and áreas of parking with baches
  • Maniworksites cerradas: Giros constant of 90 grados between pilas of containers wear the tread aggressivemente
  • Tiempo inactivo: The tires permanecen semanas in chassis estacionados, losing pressure before the próximo despacho
  • Need clave of tire: Resistance a punctures, protection of sidewall, capacity of load

Tránsito in Highway

  • PBV Máximo: The containers loaded put each axle to the límite legal or nearby of he in each viaje
  • Transitions of speed: De 8 km/h of speed of yard a 105 km/h of highway in minutos
  • Generation of heat: The loads complete a speed of highway generate the temperatures maximums of the tire
  • Distances short: The tires raronce alcanzan the equilibrio thermal before the following parada
  • Need clave of tire: Construction with classification of load, resistance to the heat, manejo estable

Centro of Distribution

  • Maniworksites in muelle: Retrocesos repetidos a espacios cerrados of muelle with weight complete
  • Reductores of speed: Loads of impact a low speed with trailers totalmente loaddos
  • Pavimentado but uneven: The yards of warehouse are better that the ports but aún are roughs
  • Abrasion by giros: The designs of lotes cerrados fuerzan giros bruscos that wear the steer tires
  • Need clave of tire: Hardbility of tread, resistance a bordes, even wear

Tires all-position, of drive and of trailer seleccionadas for demands specific of the transport of containers, service in terminal portuaria and applications of chassis intermodal.

Weight of Contenedores and Classifications of Load of Tires

The specification more importante for a tire drayage is your classification of load. The containers llegan of the extranjero loaded to the weight máximo permitido, and the tire must soportar your part of that weight without fallar. Make a mistake in this has consequences that go from wear prematuro of tires up to reventones catastróficos in the highway.

A container estándar of 40 pies can pesar up to 20.000 kg when is totalmente loaddo. Combinado with the weight of the chassis of aproximadamente 4.500 kg and the weight of the tractor of 7.300 a 9.100 kg, the gross weight combinesdo regularmente excede the 31.800 kg and can approach to the límite federal of 36.300 kg. Every tire in the chassis must soportar your part proporcional of the weight of the container more the weight of the chassis. En a chassis estándar of two axles with four tires by axle, each tire supports aproximadamente between 2.500 and 3.200 kg depending of the distribution of the load.

Igualar Classifications of Load a Weights of Contenedores

Always seleccione tires with classifications of load that igualen or excegive the weight máximo of the axle that the chassis will transport. Para chassis intermodales estándar, this típicamente significa tires Rango of Load G (14PR) or Rango of Load H (16PR) in sizes 11R22.5 or 295/75R22.5. The tires with classification insufficient operating a weight máximo of container generarán heat excesivo and fallarán prematuramente. The tire of trailer is available in classifications of load adaptadas to the demands of chassis of containers totalmente loaddos, with four belts of steel that provide the refuerzo structural necessary for transportar heavy loads kilometer tras kilometer.

Pressure of Inflation a Load Máxima

The tires a load maximum require pressure of inflation maximum. Para a tire Rango of Load G a capacity plena, that is típicamente 110 PSI. For Load Range H, is 120 PSI. No there are margin for low inflation at these weights. A tire operating even 10 PSI by below of the required pressure for load maximum generates dramáticamente more heat, and in drayage where each load is a load maximum, that excess heat se acumula in each viaje. operators drayage should verificar the pressures of tires before each despacho and considerar equipar chassis with sistemas automáticos of inflado or to the less monitoreo of pressure of tires. The few minutos gastados verifying pressures se pagan many times in failures of tires avoidsdas and llamadas of service in highway.

Ageing of Tires of Chassis

The chassis of containers are equipment compartidos in many environments ports, it that significa that a chassis specific can be inactivo in a yard by days or semanas between despachos. During the time inactivo, the tires pierden pressure lentamente by permeation natural. When the chassis finalmente is retirado of the yard and loaded with a container of 20.000 kg, the tires can be between 20 and 30 PSI by below of your pressure nominal. Loadr a container of weight máximo in a chassis with tires of low pressure is a receta for a reventón in firsts kilometers. The bottoms of chassis should implementar checks sistemáticas of pressure of tires before that the equipment between in service, and the conductores should verificar the pressures of tires in each chassis to the that se enganchan before salir of the terminal.

Schoice of Tires Drayage by Position of Axle

Every position of axle in a truck drayage enfrenta different challenges. Selecting the right tire for each position maximiza the life of each tire of the truck and avoids the costly desfase of put a tire of highway in a position that demands a design of mixed service.

Axle of Steer

The steer tires drayage enfrentan a combinestion única of driving in highway and maniworksites aggressive in yard. Necesitan deliveryr steer estable and predecible a speeds of highway while survivesn turns cerrados and the contact with edges of operations of terminal. The HS64+ KRATO MIX maneja ambos entornos with a compound resistant to grietas that resists the damage superficial of debris of the port without sacrificing the manejo receptivo necessary in highway a load plena. Your construction of sidewall reinforced supports the buffing e impact that the steer tires drayage absorben daily in terminales port.

Axle of Drive

The drive tires in trucks drayage must transmitir engine torque to the surface of the highway while supporting weights máximos of axle in each viaje. The constante maniworksite a low speed in the port yards wears the drive tires aggressivemente, and the stones of surfaces rough of the terminal se incrustan in grooves of the tread. The tire of drive of mixed service is designed exactamente for this cycle of work. Their features of expulsion of stones previenen damage by puncture of stones, and the compound resistant to cuts and chunking supports the surfaces rough loaded with debris encontradas in environments ports. A higher depth of tread provides life extended even under the conditions of wear acelerado of the service drayage.

Chassis / Trailer

The tires of chassis of containers viven the life more hard in drayage. Loadn the weights more heavys, permanecen inactivas losing pressure, ruegive by campos of debris and a menudo no reciben service of maintenance between despachos. The resistance a punctures is the priority main for tires of chassis because a puncture in a terminal portuaria creates retrasos that cost much more that the tire same. The with four belts of steel provides the protection against punctures that the applications of chassis demand. Your construction is designed for resistir the fragments of clavos, pernos and twist-locks that ensucian the port yards and causan the most of punctures of tires of chassis. Para fleets that controlan your propios chassis, implementar a program programdo of verification of pressure is the investment in tires with higher retorno available.

Maintenance of Tires Drayage and Control of Costs

The operations drayage consumes tires faster that almost any another application commercial. The combinestion of weights máximos, surfaces rough, exposition a debris and maniworksites aggressive significa that the tires drayage can deliveryr only between 64.000 and 97.000 kilometers comparesdos with 160,000+ kilometers that the same tire could reaching in service of long-haul. Aceptar this reality and manejarla is the clave for controlar the costs of tires drayage.

The size of control of costs more impactante is maintain the pressure of proper inflation. En drayage, where each load is a load maximum, operar with tires even lightmente with low pressure acelera the wear, generates heat excesivo and increases dramáticamente the possibility of a failure catastrófica. A only reventón of tire in a chassis in the port can costar between USD 500 and USD 1.000 in cargos of service in highway, more horas of productilifed lost and posibles cargos by demora. That only incidente costs more that the difference of price between a premium tire and a economic a along all a juego. Invierta in monitoreo of pressure of tires or sistemas automáticos of inflado, e incorpore checks of pressure in your procedures of despacho.

Rastree the costs of tires by turno instead of per kilometer. En drayage, the métrica relevante is how much costs in expense of tires each movement of container, no how muchs kilometers delivers each tire. A tire that costs 20% more but hard 40% more and avoids a llamada of service in highway is much more economic by turno that a tire economic that failure a mitad of route. Use our cost calculators for modelar the economy specific of your drayage, or contacte a our equipment of solutions for fleets for a analysis of cost of tires adaptado a your mezcla of port and routes.

Para the management of tires of chassis, establezca a protocolo of inspection of entrada that verifique the tires before that the chassis entren in service. Mida the depth of the tread, verifique the pressure of inflation e inspeccione for detectar debris incrustados and damage in the sidewall. Marque the chassis with tires by below of the depth minimum of tread or with damage visible, and dirigalos a maintenance before that regresen a service. This enfoque proactivo captura problemas before that causen failures and ensures that each chassis that leaves of the yard is on tires safe and properly inflated. El retread program of Hanksugi allows a operators extend the life of casings of quality, reducing even further the cost per turno of tires for operations drayage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions common about tires drayage, chassis of containers and choice of tires for truck of port.

What is a truck drayage?

A truck drayage is a tractor of service heavy usesdo for transportar containers marítimos a distances short between ports, yards ferroviarios, distribution centers and warehouses. The operations drayage típicamente cover less than 160 km by viaje, but implican loads of weight legal máximo in each recorrido. the trucks pasan time significativo in terminales port and yards of containers where the surfaces of roads are rough, the debris are common and turns cerrados alrededor of containers apilados are a peligro constante.

What size of tire usan the trucks drayage?

The most of tractores drayage in Israel usan tires 11R22.5 or 295/75R22.5 in axles of steer and drive. The chassis of containers típicamente usan tires 11R22.5 or 285/75R24.5 depending of the manufacturer and configuration of the chassis. The size of the tire is less importante that the classification of load in applications drayage, because the containers almost always se loadn to the weight legal máximo.

Why the tires drayage se wear faster that the tires of truck of highway?

The tires drayage se wear faster because the trucks operate to the weight vehicular bruto máximo in prácticamente each trip loaddo, the port yards have surfaces rough with debris that aceleran the wear of the tread, and the cycle of work of short distance implica frequent acceleration, braking and giros cerrados that create more abrasion of the tread per kilometer that the driving in highway. Combinados, these factores significan that the tires drayage can durar only between 64.000 and 97.000 kilometers comparesdos with 160,000+ kilometers for the same tire in a truck of long-haul in highway.

What causa the failures of tires in chassis of containers?

The failures of tires in chassis of containers are causadas principalmente by low inflation, sobreload and deterioro by ageing. The tires of chassis a menudo permanecen without use by periods prolongados, losing pressure of aire gradualmente. When a chassis is retirado of the yard with low pressure of tires and loaded with a container of more than 18.000 kg, the tire with low pressure generates heat extremo that can causar a reventón in few kilometers. The debris in port yards also causan punctures. Verificar the pressure and condition of the tires of the chassis before each despacho is the size more efectiva for prevenir fallas.

How elijo tires for chassis intermodales?

Al seleccionar tires for chassis of containers intermodales, priorice the capacity of load, the resistance a punctures and the durability about the life of the tread. The tires of chassis pasan the most of your kilometers a weight legal máximo, by it that the tire must be clasifievery for the load of axle more heavy. The construction of four belts of steel provides the resistance a punctures necessary for entornos ports where the debris are common. The Hanksugi with your four belts of steel is adecuada for applications of chassis.

The tires drayage can retreadse?

Yes, the tires drayage of the tractor can retreaded si the casing pasa the inspection. However, the hard conditions operativas of the service drayage causan more damage to the casing that the applications of highway, by it that the tasa of acceptance of retreading is típicamente lower. Para maximise the powerl of retreading, retire the tires before that se wearn up to the indicators of wear, maintain the pressure of proper inflation during all the life of the tire e inspeccione the casings rápidamente after of the retiro.
