BKT is going to show a remarkable presence at the upcoming Intermat in Paris, 2018. The multinational company headquartered in India will indeed take an extraordinarily extensive product portfolio to the exhibition including solutions that are suitable for a variety of needs and applications such as the cutting-edge Earthmax tire lineup for the OTR sector and a selection of tires for industrial machinery. Among the latter, Portmax PT 93, will make its debut on the European stage. Specifically designed for terminal tractors, this tire is perfect for intermodal transport operations providing excellent stability, top driving comfort along with extraordinary durability.

Portmax PT 93 for the first time in Europe
Portmax PT 93, on display in size 280/75 22.5, has been specifically engineered for heavy-duty operations at ports, container terminals and logistic hubs as well as industrial sites. The special tread made of a unique antistatic compound ensures excellent wear resistance even in the most demanding operating conditions. As a result replacement frequency and the related machine downtime are reduced to a minimum.

Part of the same tire family is Portmax PM 90, an All Steel radial tire that is particularly suitable for reach stackers in container handling operations in port environments. It will be exhibited in size 18.00 R 25. Extraordinary strength, excellent resistance and exceptional durability are the main features of this tire resulting in maximum stability – an essential requirement for transporting heavy loads.

Also noteworthy is another tire designed for the industrial sector and logistics: Liftmax LM 81 in size 7.00 R 12. This pattern has been specially developed for forklifts and ensures extraordinary comfort and durability, minimizing operating costs even over long distances. Likewise, Airomax AM 27, exhibited in size 445/95 R 25, is the ideal tire for high-speed on-and-off-the-road cranes suitable for travelling both on roads or motorways and the most demanding construction site grounds.

Off-The-Road
Perfect for OTR applications, instead, are three selected tires belonging to the Earthmax lineup, which by the way will this year celebrate its 10th anniversary on the market. Their common feature is the particularly resistant All Steel structure. Earthmax SR 53, designed for loaders and dozers operating on rocky terrains, will be showcased in size 26.5 R 25 along with Earthmax SR 31, a specifically engineered tire for rigid dumpers and wheel loaders, on display at Intermat in size 26.5 R 25. Last but not least, there is Earthmax SR 50, exhibited in size 26.5 R 25. This tire features an extra deep and aggressive, L5-classified tread and has been conceived for loader applications in loading and leveling operations.
