JK Tyre & Industries has unveiled its latest range of Off-the-Road (OTR) tyres at the Bauma Conexpo 2024 India targeting the demanding needs of the mining sector. This launch represents a significant expansion of JK Tyre’s comprehensive OTR portfolio offering tailored solutions to enhance efficiency and durability in industrial and mining operations.
The newly introduced products include specialised tyres such as the 17.5-25 VEM 63 L5 for wheel loaders, 16.00-25 VEM 99D E3 for wide-body dump trucks, 12.00-24 VEM SMOOTH L5S for load haul dumpers, 300-15 JET LIFT for forklifts, and 10/75-15.3 MPT 117 for self-loading concrete mixers. Each tyre is engineered for specific applications, ensuring optimised performance across a variety of heavy-duty machinery.
The VEM 63 (L5 pattern) boasts an extra-deep tread for extended service life, broad lugs for improved stability, and a durable nylon casing capable of withstanding high loads. The VEM 99D (E3 pattern) incorporates a chevron tread design to enhance handling, improve heat dissipation, and provide exceptional resistance against cuts and wear.
The VEM SMOOTH L5S is designed for harsh mining conditions, offering a smooth tread for long life and stability under heavy loads. For forklift operations, the JET LIFT ensures stability and wear resistance through a robust casing and silica-based compound. Meanwhile, the MPT 117 provides excellent mileage and durability, making it suitable for both on-road and off-road operations in self-loading concrete mixers.
In addition to these tyre solutions, JK Tyre showcased its cutting-edge 'Treel' technology at the Expo, a smart tyre monitoring system that tracks tyre pressure and temperature in real-time. This innovation, specifically adapted for OTR tyres, aims to enhance operational efficiency in heavy-duty applications by ensuring optimal tyre performance and safety.
