Continental Specialty Tyres chosen by Pentalver Transport

Continental’s harbour portfolio now supports Pentalver across its UK sites, offering a fit for a business with a combination of transport, storage and innovative container solutions.

Pentalver has facilities and services at the UK’s 4 main Ports; Felixstowe, Southampton, Tilbury and London Gateway. It handles overs 1 million TEU of containers each year.

With such scales of business, Pentalver requires the highest quality tyre solution to ensure safety and handling efficiency. With this in mind it is fitting that the Continental Container Master has been able to demonstrate a suitable fit, with reduced whole life costs and tyre consumption.

The Continental Container Master is well suited for typical operating conditions in most harbours and is designed for reach stackers, empty container handlers and heavy-duty forklifts.

Continental’s harbour portfolio introduces the latest V.ply tyre technology, combining the best of cross-ply design and radial-ply design by integrating an innovative weaving pattern of multiple cords at specially designed angles.

Garry Parker for Pentalver says: “We are delighted that Continental will support our business with its premium tyre expertise. Like everyone in this sector, improved service life is paramount for us and we are really happy with our choice in Continental and the improvements in both tyre performance and safety. The V.ply technology offers greater lateral stability which is especially important on our high lifting container handling equipment.”
