Nokian container and material handling tyres

Product catalog summary
Overview
Nokian Heavy Tyres has developed a specialized range of tyres for container and material handling, focusing on high load-bearing capacity, precision, and stability. These tyres are recognized for their wear resistance, achieved through advanced material and structural innovations such as the Shockabsorb Radial Construction (S.R.C) and Beyond All Steel construction.
Product Range
The manual outlines various tyre models including Nokian HTS, Nokian Nordman Harbour, Nokian RTG, and Nokian HTS Tugger, each tailored for specific applications like terminal tractors and RTG cranes.
Testimonials
C. Steinweg Handelsveem B.V. in Rotterdam has been a long-term partner in testing Nokian tyres, particularly the HTS L4-S model, noted for its stability and long service life in reach stackers.
Nokian HTS
These tyres are highlighted for their stability and durability, ideal for harbour and terminal equipment, featuring a durable cross-ply structure suitable for retreading.
Nokian Nordman Harbour
These tyres offer a reliable and cost-effective solution for reach stackers and lift trucks, with a durable cross-ply structure.
Nokian RTG
Designed for RTG harbour cranes, these tyres provide agility and durability, with a structure optimized to reduce steering forces and heat build-up, leading to lower wear and fuel consumption.
Nokian HTS Tugger
The first tyre specifically designed for terminal tractors, offering high load capacity and precise driving response.
Nokian Armor Gard
These tyres are designed for long service life in materials handling machines and excavators, featuring a gripping tread design and durable carcass.
Tubes and Valves
The manual specifies tubes and valves compatible with various Nokian tyre models, emphasizing the use of Nokian tubes for optimal performance.
Liquid and Salt Ballasting
This section discusses using liquid ballasting to enhance machine stability, recommending professional services and special equipment for the procedure.
Introduction
This document provides technical guidelines for liquid and salt ballasting of tyres, specifically for Nokian Heavy Tyres used in container and material handling, including specifications for water and salt ballasting to prevent freezing and maintain tyre integrity.
Specifications
  • Liquid Ballasting: 75% of the tyre volume is filled with liquid. Using fillers other than liquid, such as polyurethane, voids the tyre warranty.
  • Water and Salt Ballasting: Salt is added to water to prevent freezing, calculated for temperatures as low as -30°C (-22°F) using commercial salt (CaCl2) with 77% purity. The remaining 25% of the tyre volume is inflated to the recommended pressure.
Recommendations
  • Regularly check inflation pressure since only 25% of the tyre volume is air.
  • Use tubes to prevent rims from rusting.
Data Summary
The document includes detailed tables for different tyre sizes, indicating the volume of water and salt required for ballasting, as well as the total weight increase. Key data points include:
  • NOKIAN HTS TUGGER: For tyre size 315/60R22.5, 65 liters of water and 53 liters of salt are used, resulting in a total weight increase of 80 kg (175 lb).
  • NOKIAN ARMOR GARD: For tyre size 18.00-25, 365 liters of water and 298 liters of salt are used, resulting in a total weight increase of 450 kg (990 lb).
Conclusion
Proper ballasting with water and salt is crucial for maintaining tyre performance in cold conditions. Adhering to the specified proportions and regular maintenance checks will ensure optimal tyre functionality.

Nokian container and material handling tyres-1

Nokian Heavy Tyres Technical manual / Container and material handling tyres Nokian container and material handling tyres The relentless lifting, moving and transporting of heavy loads, requires besides high load bearing capacity absolute precision and stability from the tyres. The much praised wear resistance of our container and material handling tyres is based on thorough material and structure development. The Shockabsorb Radial Construction (S.R.C), created as the result of our development work, combines the best qualities of radial and cross-ply structures into one product. We are the first tyre manufacturer in the world to introduce a special tyre for terminal tractors, the Nokian HTS Tugger. The Nokian RTG is the only tyre specially designed for RTG Cranes to reduce steering forces. Latest innovation is the Beyond All Steel construction, introduced first in the Nokian BAS HTS Straddle.
