Showcase at bC India show
BKT’s industrial and construction tires under the category AT 621 and size 9-16 are utilised for backhoe loader applications and provide excellent traction in sever conditions. Other features include wider lugs and increased puncture resistance, self-cleaning tread design and improved wear and cut resistant tread compound.

The company’s forklift tires under the category LM 81 and size 7.00R12 stand out for their specially designed aggressive and robust tread pattern and unique tread compound for excellent traction and long wear life. This range of tires has a strong all steel casing and reinforced sidewall that provides maximum stability and handling in lift mode. The radial casing absorbs surface irregularities to provide riding comfort, increase operator confidence and reduce fatigue. LM81 tires are antistatic compliant – all sizes are capable of dissipating static charge from the vehicle.

The solid tires under the category MAGLIFT STD and size 8.25-15 are general purpose forklift tires used for port operations and in mining operations and scrap yards. This range of tires stands out for its better abrasion, wear and cut resistant tread compound. It has highly elastic centre-cushion compound that provides excellent riding comfort. The range is puncture proof, gives smooth, trouble free operation and has bead wires in the base for firm grip to avoid any slippage in operations.

The skid steer tires under the category GIANT TRAX and sizes 10-16.5 and 12-16.5 are most suited for scrap yard work, rough concrete surfaces, recycling operations and mines.
