As global trade intensifies and port operations become increasingly time-sensitive, the demand for durable & high-performance tyres has never been greater. Port equipment such as Empty Container Handlers and Reach Stackers operate under extreme pressure—lifting heavy loads, manoeuvring through tight spaces, and working continuously across abrasive surfaces. Recognizing these demanding conditions, Rubber King, one of India’s most trusted off-highway tyre manufacturers, presents two specialised solutions engineered for modern port operations: PETRA for Empty Container Handlers and BAHUBALI for Reach Stackers.

PETRA : Engineered Strength for Empty Container Handlers

Designed to endure the intense duty cycles of container yards, PETRA (12.00-24, 20 PR) brings together advanced engineering and long-life performance. Its innovative non-directional tread pattern ensures consistent traction and stability with broader tread width, enabling Empty Container Handlers to operate with confidence even under unpredictable port conditions.

With a larger tyre profile and wider lugs, PETRA provides a broader footprint - enhancing grip, improving stability, and extending operational life. For high-impact zones, the tread is reinforced with additional rubber layers, offering exceptional protection against punctures and damage.

The tyre’s special anti-skid, cut-and-chip resistant, heat-resistant compound is formulated specifically for harsh port surfaces and long working hours. Combined with a robust nylon casing, PETRA maintains its structural integrity under heavy loads, reducing downtime and improving fleet productivity. 

Built for reliability and endurance, PETRA embodies Rubber King’s commitment to delivering tyres that keep port operations moving seamlessly.

BAHUBALI : Powering Reach Stackers with Unmatched Durability

For lift-intensive machinery like Reach Stackers, Rubber King introduces BAHUBALI (18.00-25, 40 PR, 5S Smooth Tyre) - a tyre built for raw strength and long-term durability. Its smooth deep tread ensures superior surface engagement, delivering consistent traction on port pavements.

BAHUBALI’s cut-resistant tread compound enhances resistance to chips, cuts, and abrasion - crucial for equipment that operates nonstop in aggressive environments. The tyre’s fatigue-resistant sidewall ensures crack resistance and protects the tyre from structural fatigue during heavy load cycles.

A high-load nylon casing further boosts its ability to safely carry extreme weights, making BAHUBALI an ideal fit for Reach Stackers, Heavy Duty Forklifts and RTGs. Its blend of strength, stability, and long service life has earned it recognition as a dependable solution for ports looking to maximise equipment efficiency.

With PETRA and BAHUBALI, Rubber King continues reinforcing its position as a trusted partner for port operators—delivering tyres engineered for strength, reliability, enhanced safety, and superior performance in the toughest port conditions.
