BKT showcased off-highway masterpiece at IMME

Balkrishna Industries Ltd. (BKT), the Indian multinational group and global player in the off-highway tire market, participated in the 16th edition of IMME. The International Mining and Machinery Exhibition was organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and held between November 16 and 19, 2022, at Eco Park, Rajarhat, Kolkata, India. BKT was at the exhibition at the OD1 booth.

BKT showcased its technologically driven, high-quality products for the mining sector. The event’s main focus for BKT was the all-steel radial tire, Giant EARTHMAX SR 468 TL. The special tread design and compound of this 57-inch tire were created to limit heat generation and increase its cut resistance. Its greater casing resistance makes it an excellent choice for the mining sector.

Another tire from the Earthmax family on display is the Earthmax SR 53 TL. It is also an all-steel radial tire specially designed for ultra-large loaders, dozers, and low-profile dump trucks. The deep, classified L-5 tread that makes it ideal for severe rocky conditions consists of a cut-resistant compound. This tire’s technology gives it a longer wear life as well as superior traction and stability.

Commenting on their participation at IMME, Mr. Rajiv Poddar, Joint Managing Director, Balkrishna Industries Ltd., said, “We are thrilled to have been a part of the 16th edition of IMME. We have been designing and upgrading our products to meet the demands of the market and curating some robust tires. We showcased the latest technology at the exhibition, which we are sure will be a huge game-changer for the mining sector. “We are also grateful to CII for organising this IMME and elated that we got to exchange ideas with industry leaders and meet with buyers and hear their demands, needs, and concerns, which will help us as we continue to upgrade our products and expand our product portfolio.”
