In a bid to enhance efficiency, safety and port sustainability, Tilbury is integrating real-time monitoring tools across its heavy equipment fleet. More than 500 Continental tyres are now in use across Kalmar, Hyster and Liebherr GB machines including cranes, forklifts and straddle carriers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have partnered with Continental for our tyre requirements for a number of reasons,\u201d said Andy Darlington, senior procurement & facilities manager at the Port of Tilbury.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe exceptional performance of their tyres, combined with their advanced digital solutions, gives us reliability and endurance in our day-to-day operations.\u201d<\/p>\n
Real-time monitoring<\/strong><\/p>\n Through ContiConnect and ContiPressureCheck, the port now benefits from real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance, slashing unplanned downtime by 20%.<\/p>\n Three on-site YardReader stations provide data that helps engineers anticipate issues before they occur, enhancing safety and operational continuity.<\/p>\n Continental\u2019s StraddleMaster tyres also contribute to greener operations at the port – their low rolling resistance cuts fuel consumption by up to 30%.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, new production methods at Continental\u2019s ISCC PLUS-certified Lousado plant allow for CO\u2082-neutral tyre manufacturing, reinforcing the port\u2019s commitment to sustainability across the supply chain.<\/p>\n The partnership is bolstered by Halfords Commercial Fleet Services, which handles tyre inspections, stock and replacements at the port.<\/p>\n \u201cThis partnership is about more than tyres,\u201d said Mike Leedham, OTR sales manager at Continental. \u201cIt\u2019s about powering the future of ports through innovation and sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The UK\u2019s Port of Tilbury is transforming operations with smart port equipment and predictive maintenance technologies from Continental.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":5490,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,22],"tags":[23,2189,2188],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-5489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-technology-greenport","category-products-services-greenport","tag-port-equipment","tag-predictive-maintenance","tag-tyres"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5489"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5489\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5491,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5489\/revisions\/5491"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5489"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=5489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
