I. Introduction
In the heavy transport industry, equipment reliability directly impacts project timelines and operational costs. With their exceptional load capacity, durable materials, and professional solutions, Forlander port equipment tires, particularly its SPMT tire series, have become the preferred choice for multiple Korean heavy transport companies. Here are three typical application cases demonstrating their outstanding performance across various working conditions in South Korea’s port, wind power, and shipbuilding sectors.
II. Case 1: Port Equipment Tires Ensuring Efficient Port Operations
- Application Scenario: Container and heavy equipment handling at Korean ports
- Equipment Used: Cometto 40 & 48-ton self propelled modular trailer, Goldhofer modular trailers
Matching Tires:
Forlander 355/65-15 SPMT Polyurethane Solid Tires (F819 Pattern)
– Used on Goldhofer modular trailers with excellent puncture resistance and load capacity
– Meets high-intensity port operation requirements, maintaining zero failure rate after 6 months of stable operation
In the high-traffic, debris-ridden environment of a major South Korean port, tire failure was a constant source of operational disruption. A leading port logistics company turned to Forlander for a customized solution for their diverse fleet of Cometto and Goldhofer modular trailers.
For their Goldhofer modular trailers, the primary need was unparalleled puncture resistance to handle sharp metal scraps and port debris. Forlander engineers delivered a robust 355/65-15 solid SPMT tire, filled with a specialized polyurethane compound. This innovative design eliminates the very concept of punctures and flat tires, while maintaining an exceptional load-bearing capacity. After six months of intensive 24/7 operation, the client reports zero tire-related downtime. The trailers move heavier loads more consistently, significantly boosting port efficiency and reducing long-term maintenance costs.
Forlander 355/65-15 SPMT Industrial Bias Tube Tires（F819 Pattern)
– Equipped on Cometto 40 & 48-ton self propelled modular trailer with reinforced sidewall design for extreme conditions.
– Has been operating reliably for over 2 years
For the client’s fleet of Cometto 40-ton and 48-ton self-propelled electronic modular trailers required a different approach. These SPMT vehicle needed a port tire that could handle extreme dynamic loads and harsh conditions without compromising on performance. Forlander supplied a heavy-duty Industrial Bias SPMT Tire with Tubes (355 65-15), renowned for its high load capacity and incredibly strong sidewall. These features make it ideally suited for the twisting forces and heavy impacts of extreme-duty port conditions. Having been in reliable service for over two years, these tires have proven their mettle, providing the durability and stability the client needs for seamless daily operations.
III. Case 2: Supporting Wind Energy and Shipbuilding with Forlander 33.5×11.25-15 Port Tire
- Application: Wind turbine component transport, 10,000-ton ship part handling
- Equipment Used : Cometto 60/70-ton self propelled modular trailer (MSPE EV03 series)
Matching Tires:
Forlander 33.5×11.25-15 28PR PRO TECH Tubeless Tires
– Single tire load capacity of 12.5 tons, equipped on 60-ton SPMT for 10,000-ton vessel component transport
– 6-axle MSPE EV03 configuration uses 1,344 tires, demonstrating excellent system load performance
Forlander SIT01 33.5×11.25-15 32PR PRO TECH Tubeless Tires
– Single tire load capacity upgraded to 17.5 tons, specifically developed for 70-ton EVO3 series.
– Provides higher safety margin for super-heavy component transport.
Project Achievement: The stable performance of tires in large-scale projects has earned high recognition from customers for Forlander’s technical capabilities.
IV. Case 3: Exemplary Longevity in Road Transport with Forlander 215/75R17.5
- Application Scenario: Regional logistics heavy equipment road transport
- Equipment Used: Goldhofer modular trailers
Matching Tires:
Forlander 215/75R17.5 18PR FA388 All-Steel Radial Tires
– Designed specifically for highway conditions with low rolling resistance and high wear resistance
– Only 2mm tread wear after 2 years of use, exceeding customer durability expectations
