Expect a Lot of Foot Traffic in the BKT Booth at MINExpo

Sept. 23, 2016

BKT USA Inc.'s booth at MINExpo International 2016 should be busy. The company is introducing six products.

Three of the new Earthmax products will be displayed in Booth No. 8109 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The BKT Earthmax range is made up of 21 different patterns, each to meet a different need in the OTR sector.

1. Earthmax SR 46 for rigid haul trucks is BKT’s innovative response to severe rocky, abrasive and harsh mining environments. This tire has been specifically designed to carry heavy loads offering superior resistance to cuts and chips as well as a long tire life-cycle. The all-steel casing and belts provide extraordinary protection against shocks, fatigue and flats to maximize uptime and enhance productivity. Earthmax SR 46 features a special lug block pattern with circumferential groove to optimize the cornering performance with minimum tread face damage. 

2. Earthmax SR 25 (G-2/L-2) is an all-steel radial tire that has been specially designed for motor graders and loaders operating in the most severe road construction or mining applications. Its non-directional tread design offers excellent self-cleaning properties in addition to traction and stability off the road, says the company.

3. Earthmax SR 49 (L-4) is an all-steel radial tire that has been engineered for loaders and dozers. It provides optimum performance in severe mining operations requiring exceptional traction.
