Xtek Expands into U.S. Shipyards & Ports with Proven Crane Wheel Solutions

shipyards portsFor over a century, Xtek has helped solve some of the toughest industrial challenges for steel mills, aluminum producers, and other heavy industries.

Over the years, a few of our rugged, custom-engineered wheels have made their way into shipyards and ports—quietly proving their value in some of the most demanding conditions.

Now, with growing interest and input from our customers, we’re putting a focused spotlight on the ports market—bringing Xtek’s proven durability and reliability to more terminal operators nationwide.

Meeting Port-Specific Challenges

Container ports and terminal operators face extreme wear and tear on their wheels. Frequent replacements cause downtime and add cost. Xtek’s proprietary wheels have been engineered to solve this exact problem.

Proven Results: Port of Los Angeles

At one of the busiest ports in the country, Xtek’s crane wheels lasted over 3 years—outperforming OEM wheels that typically lasted just 6–9 months. The result?

  • Fewer replacements
  • Reduced downtime
  • Lower total maintenance costs
  • Improved TEU capacity

Xtek isn’t just offering a better wheel—we provide technical support, problem-solving guidance, and USA-sourced manufacturing for faster delivery and leaner inventories. One customer put it best:
