What are some of the unique features of Earthmax vis-à-vis other OTRs?
Earthmax is designed to ensure enhanced load distribution on the ground for dumpers, wheel-loaders, dozers, graders and other multi-purpose vehicles. This tyre is a milestone in BKT’s history – the result of thinking big, research and improvement while introducing new ideas and approaches to the market.
This tyre can master harsh terrains thereby demonstrating great versatility and durability. Earthmax has ‘All Steel’ casing compared to the ‘Nylon’ fabric casing of other OTR tyres. It has a single body ply made of steel cords and the crown area is reinforced by steel cord material ensuring less build-up of heat. The casing allows the tyres to bear resistance against impacts and other adverse conditions while providing stability, comfort and enhancing longevity.
Over the last 10 years, what are some of the technology or innovations that have happened in Earthmax since its launch?
We cannot ignore trends in the industry that is facing unprecedented changes in technology at a global level. Next-generation tyre technology in line with forthcoming changes across vehicle-equipment development has resulted in new concepts in fleet and site management.
