BKT solutions for the mining sector
The tires in BKT’s EARTHMAX range are designed for the toughest operations. It is a broad range of radial solutions designed to facilitate the best possible ground load distribution for dump trucks, wheel loaders, dozers, and graders.
All EARTHMAX tires are distinguished by their All Steel structure which provides resistance to the casing and so against impacts. These are essential features when faced with particular obstacles on the ground which could expose the tire to serious risk of puncture or damage to the casing.
In particular, this range includes three models which, thanks to their large size, are particularly suitable to handling mining operations under the toughest conditions.
EARTHMAX SR 45 is fitted to rigid dump trucks which operate in rocky environments such as mines. Specifically designed to transport heavy loads, this tire guarantees a high level of resistance to cuts thanks to its casing with a steel belt. Thanks to the specific design of the tread with blocks and grooving on the circumference, it guarantees reduced damage to the surface of the product and improved performance on bends.
EARTHMAX SR 45 is also designed for rigid dump trucks and has a specific design of blocks and a deeper tread, which guarantees the product an extended life cycle.
EARTHMAX SR 53, classified L-5, has been designed for loaders operating in difficult conditions. The tread consists of a compound which is particularly resistant to cuts. In addition, it is designed to offer extraordinary self-cleaning properties, which facilitate the expulsion of stones and other foreign bodies.
