The BKT ranges specifically designed for transport operations confirm the company's ability – one of the world's leading Off-Highway tire manufacturers in the specialist segments of agricultural, construction and industrial vehicles – to compete in highly complex contexts requiring a great capacity for research and innovation.
BKT has always developed high-performance and cutting-edge solutions, taking into account each single aspect and detail of the most diverse applications. A work style and underlying philosophy that have resulted in creating tire ranges for both tractors and trailers transporting heavy loads. These products can gently float on the soil in order to reduce, if necessary, soil compaction - a main issue for farmers in many jobs.
Below is a selection of the most representative products out of this extensive tire lineup specifically developed for this key sector. It is the result of thorough studies carried out by the company, which was thus able to design tires that are ideal for both road transfers and combined use.
Specific tires for road transport
Maximum road-holding is just one of the characteristics that make the Agrimax Sirio range so unique. These tires are fitted on high-performance tractors with high travel speeds (up to 70 km/h – in countries where this limit is permitted) and designed for operations involving the towing of heavy loads. Thanks to its resistant casing structure with six polyester belts, this innovative tire guarantees perfect stability and excellent driving comfort. The optimized footprint on the ground, sidewall flexibility and low rolling resistance make Agrimax Sirio the right choice to achieve greater productivity and significant fuel savings. www.bkt-tires.com/en/pattern/agrimax-sirio
Agrimax Force has been designed with the aim of preserving soil in mind. This radial tire excels by the unique IF technology, which provides high-power tractors with a much wider footprint on the ground compared to an equivalent standard-sized tire, ensuring an even load distribution. Even if it is not possible to reduce the weight to be transported, Agrimax Force accurately fulfills the task of safeguarding crops. Moreover, the “D” speed rating makes it possible to travel at speeds of up to 65 km/h – in countries where permitted – without changing the inflation pressure. As a result, one can move from the field to the road with no machine downtime. Resistance, traction, speed and flexibility: these are the distinctive features of Agrimax Force. www.bkt-tires.com/en/pattern/agrimax-force
In addition to the well-known Agrimax range for tractors, BKT also offers the Ridemax IT 696 line featuring a unique tread design that allows it to be used on any type of terrain up to a speed of 65 km/h, in countries where such limit is permitted. The advantages of this tire include excellent self-cleaning properties and reduced rolling resistance. This leads to less fuel consumption and, consequently, economic and environmental benefits. www.bkt-tires.com/en/pattern/ridemax-it-696
Specific tires for combined on-the-road and in-the-field transport
The new addition to the BKT family is the innovative Agrimax V-Flecto, a winning combination of technologies to improve the productivity and performance of latest-generation tractors on all kinds of terrain. A tire that offers excellent performance and reliability, as well as exceptional resistance against the highest stress levels, even at high speeds and on paved roads. A product that guarantees a life cycle that is at least 10% longer compared to its standard equivalent, ensuring a significant reduction in operating and maintenance costs. The special reinforced bead and the ultra-resistant casing make Agrimax V-Flecto the ideal product for combined use, with no need to change the inflation pressure when going from the field to the road and vice versa. www.bkt-tires.com/en/pattern/agrimax-v-flecto
Ridemax FL 693 M is a radial tire for machinery that deals with frequent transfers on road while towing tankers or trailers. This tire is designed for general road use and, thanks to its “D” speed rating, it can travel at speeds of up to 65 km/h – where permitted – for significant time savings. Moreover, its low rolling resistance is an aspect that greatly contributes to reducing fuel consumption. www.bkt-tires.com/en/pattern/ridemax-fl-693-m
Lastly, the FL 630 Super features a unique tread design for multi-purpose use on any terrain and on the road, as well as for additional resistance. Its wide footprint allows perfect weight distribution on the ground, resulting in regular running and higher load capacity. www.bkt-tires.com/en/pattern/fl-630-super
These are only some of BKT's large product portfolio for exacting operations involving the transport of heavy loads both on the road and in the fields. A selection of top-of-the-range tires, the result of BKT's nonstop cooperation with Equipment Manufacturers and its users that aims at coming up with tailor-made solutions for the many applications and for each specific need and request.
