The Earthmax range of tires from BKT is designed to meet the needs of the off-the-road industry, ensuring what the company describes as top performance no matter how complex the operating environment. The Earthmax SR 41 (pictured), for example, is ideal for loaders and dozers in transport and loading and grading applications, standing out for its resistance to punctures and extended durability. The Earthmax SR 45 M, on the other hand, provides traction and is the ideal solution for long-haul operations. The Earthmax SR 53, meanwhile, is designed for loaders, dozers and low-profile dump trucks operating under harsh conditions in rocky environments.
Range intended for loaders, ADTs
The Xtra Defend E4** L4**, a new Michelin tire range, is designed for use on loaders and articulated dump trucks (ADTs). The tire range, which features a new casing, has a load capacity up to 55,997 pounds per tire and a speed ranging up to 8.6 mph for loaders. The Michelin Xtra Defend E4** L4** tire was developed to adapt to intensive cycles on both hard and muddy ground. Michelin says the tire offers great mobility under difficult conditions and on aggressive surfaces during loading and transport cycles. Six sizes are available in the range.
