The EARTHMAX Crusher Haul and EARTHMAX SR 34 tyres are two “Made for India” tyres that Balkrishna Industries Ltd., an Indian multinational business and a major player in the worldwide off-highway tyre market, has introduced specifically for the mining and construction industries in India.

BKT, a “Made in India” company, is constantly working to develop distinctive mobility solutions for the global OTR tyre market. The tyres on display at bauma CONEXPO India show how the Indian multinational company pays attention to user needs, market trends, and operating conditions while offering relevant and tailored solutions.

The EARTHMAX Crusher Haul is designed for quarry and off-road haulage applications. This radial tyre is made entirely of steel, and it has a block-style tread pattern that offers great traction. The unique formula ensures resistance to cuts, chips, and abrasion, increasing durability and mileage. The EARTHAMX Crusher Haul, the newest innovation from BKT, is ideal for Tippers in the industrial and construction sectors and was created to accommodate longer hauls with loads because of the sturdy steel belt construction and casing.

The EARTHMAX SR 34 is an all-steel radial tyre from the same line intended for mining applications. On any surface, the “non-directional block” tyre design offers superb grip and stability. The sturdy, all-steel casing has exceptional wear, snag, and puncture resistance. In heavy-duty service situations, the strengthened bead and shoulder construction of the EARTHMAX SR 34 adds to its robust durability. The most recent innovation from BKT is perfect for wide-body mining trucks and is capable of carrying huge loads.

With a strong focus on research and development, BKT displayed some of its best products for the mining and construction industries, including the XL GRIP ULTRA, which was created especially for tippers in the mining and construction industries due to its non-directional tread design that offers excellent front and lateral traction and the special tread compound to ensure high cut and puncture resistance as well as excellent durability and wear resistance even on rocky surfaces.

Finally, the EARTHMAX SR 31 is an all-steel radial tyre designed specifically for wheel loaders and articulated dump trucks. It has non-directional block pattern treads. It is made of a unique material that is very resistant to cuts and abrasion and also effectively absorbs heat generated during machine operation. The tire’s sturdy carcass, which is reinforced by several steel belts, offers outstanding strength and stability. Consequently, it provides excellent traction and is comfortable to ride. The EARTHMAX SR 31 is ideally suited for load haul and load-and-carry operations in the mining and industrial industries.

Rajiv Poddar, Joint Managing Director of Balkrishna Industries Ltd., commented on the introduction of new goods at the bauma CONEXPO India 2023, “BKT is heavily invested in product development and strongly believes in the motto, ‘Right Tire for Right Application’. The new additions to the EARTHMAX family are the evidence of BKT’s strong commitment to offering extraordinary mobility solutions which are personalised not only for the application but also for the market.”
