JK Tyre unveiled 11 tyre offerings in the OTR segment on December 12, at the CII EXCON 2023 in Bangalore. CII EXON is the largest construction equipment trade fair in South Asia.
OTR, or ‘Off-The-Road’ tyres are used in heavy-duty situations, like construction, mining, or port activities. They are used on machines such as forklifts, dump trucks etc. The road may not necessarily be paved and smooth, and the machine may weigh multiple tonnes. Therefore these tyres are used to achieve traction and stability in harsh conditions.
JK Tyre unveiled their next-gen port tyre, called the 18.00–25 40PR Port Champion Plus. This tyre is used on reach stackers, used in container handling at ports. The 17.5-25 20PR GTL Plus E3/L3 and 13.00-24 16PR GTL Champ G3, used on motor graders were also showcased at the event. The mining tipper truck tyre, Hard Rock Champion 12.00-20 20PR E4, was also presented.
