BKT offers specialised range of forestry tyres

Indian tyre manufacturer BKT has developed a highly specialised range of tyres for the forestry industry, aimed at a range of machinery and equipment from forwarders to skidders, from machines for loading the timber to those for extracting trunks and transport vehicles.

These are Forestech, FS 216, F 240 and TR 678, which are all resistant, and so have a long product life, and this in its turn means a lower number of replacements and less downtime with environmental and economic benefits.

Forestech is ideal for forwarders, i.e. those self-loading trailers, which operate in the toughest situations. With a high level of traction, a key feature for working in forests, it has an extremely robust hitch and a reinforced shoulder rib to resist punctures.

FS 216 offers extraordinary resistance to cuts and tears and is perfect for forwarders and skidders. Durability, enhanced tread, high resistance to punctures, excellent traction, self-cleaning and high load capacity make up the identikit of this tyre which is available in two different versions with a structure in steel belts or in aramid fiber.

TR 678 is instead aimed at loggers. It is a very versatile tyre which is perfect also for digging and is equipped with steel belts which make it resistant to damage and punctures. In addition, it is self-cleaning, offers excellent traction and a high load capacity.

F 240 is designed for transporting trunks. Among its main features are the exceptional traction, outstanding self-cleaning and maneuverability. In addition, the particular and superior tread mix guarantees an extended life cycle as well as resistance to wear and tear and cuts. Finally, the width of the tyre print has been increased and improves stability on the ground.
