At booth C010 D019 in Hall 6.1, the multinational company showcases its latest solutions designed for multiple operational needs

Kicking off in Cologne, Germany, is the B2B platform and benchmark for the international tire and wheel industry: The Tire Cologne 2026. Balkrishna Industries Ltd. (BKT), the leading multinational Off-Highway tire manufacturer, is participating in the German event with a wide range of specialized products.

At Booth C010 D019 in Hall 6.1, visitors can discover BKT’s latest novelties, designed and developed to meet the evolving needs of various sectors, from agriculture to agroforestry, from industrial to earthmoving. In the exhibition area, which spans nearly 400 square meters, the spotlight will be on the new tires EARTHMAX SR 30 M, SKID MAX SR 720, and MAGLIFT PLUS. Three solutions designed as a response to the toughest challenges, confirming BKT’s ongoing commitment to developing ever more high-performing and efficient tires that are well-suited for specialized applications.

EARTHMAX SR 30 M, in particular, proves to be an essential solution for loading, unloading, and transport operations of medium-sized loaders employed in industrial and construction sites, combining fuel efficiency and driving comfort without compromising on traction. This combination of benefits stems from an enhanced and versatile tread design that ensures excellent performance on any surface and from reduced rolling resistance.

Another outstanding product on display is RIDEMAX FROST, a highly efficient tire on snow and ice, as demonstrated in tests by UTAC, one of the world’s renowned testing centers. Indeed, this solution has been designed by BKT to ensure high performance in extreme winter conditions by means of a special cold-resistant compound and a specifically developed tread that reduces the risk of skidding on ice.

“We wanted to take to The Tire Cologne our flagship products for agriculture as well as for the other industries where BKT is known for its reliability and its high-quality products. Each of these solutions has been designed and developed to precisely meet the specific needs of every application having different complexities and operational requirements,” – commented Lucia Salmaso, Managing Director, BKT Europe. “By taking part in this event, BKT reaffirms its commitment to developing increasingly high-performance tires that are versatile and tailored to operators’ needs, while also consolidating our international presence and direct dialog with partners and customers worldwide.”

Visitors will also find the agricultural tires AGRIMAX V-FLECTO and AGRIMAX PROCROP, along with PORTMAX PM 93 PLUS, a solution for straddle carriers in port container handling operations, and FORESTMAX, the tire for forest applications.

In addition to its products, BKT will share its expertise and latest technologies at The Tire Cologne, turning the trade show into a real meeting point where market demand and innovation meet.
