BKT launches new Skid Max SR-Skidder tyre

BKT has launched its new all steel radial tyre, the Skid Max SR-Skidder, specifically designed for use in extremely heavy work environments and on hard surfaces.

It is currently available in the 260/70 R 12.5 (10 R 16.5) size and is ideal to equip loaders and telehandlers used in road maintenance work or in waste material deposits.

In such heavy-duty applications, the tyre requires characteristics that can meet the daily challenges linked to the risk of puncture and abrasion and to the ability to transport heavy loads while maintaining perfect stability.

BKT says the Skid Max SR-Skidder is a perfect mix of all these requirements and offers longer product life and high load capacity. The robust casing is equipped with an all steel structure with steel belts which confer greater resistance on the casing and therefore against aggression, such as punctures and the penetration by foreign bodies. Also the thickness of the side helps minimise the risk of punctures and accidental damage and so consequent vehicle downtime.

In addition, the Skid Max SR-Skidder is equipped with a guard which protects against any punctures and impacts which could damage the area around the rim.

The robust and wide tread has been designed with a continuous central block which, in combination with the tread’s anti-static mix, guarantees excellent traction and long product life, according to the tyre maker.

BKT adds that the Skid Max SR-Skidder guarantees excellent comfort and stability in everyday work.
