For instance, on March 25, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., launched the EV-4M Port Handler to assist increase efficiency, a decisive factor in modern port and industrial handling. The EV-4M balances long operating hours and assists reduce heat generation to further boost wear resistance. Its higher TKPH/TMPH rating will support higher average operating speed and long-distance travel. The 4M also features a robust casing construction, an oversized strength bead bundle, and sidewall inserts that provide improved stability when the port handler is under high load conditions. Thus, such launches are anticipated to drive the growth of the global port equipment tire market.
