BKT introduces the FL 695 steel-belted tire, which has been specifically designed to optimize the performance of trailers employed in construction and agri-transport operations.
Traditionally used in agricultural operations, tractors and trailers are now also employed in construction because of their flexibility, power and adaptability to different applications. Operators in agriculture and industry are making growing efforts to optimize the use of their machinery and implements in order to avoid periods of inactivity, taking full advantage of their potential in various operating contexts. This trend is supported by breakthroughs such as precision farming, robotics, and electric tractors, which enhance the efficiency and sustainability of operations.
“With FL 695, we have wanted to create a tire that meets the specific needs of agro-industrial applications, where trailers play a key role in overall productivity as well as having a strong impact on performance and operational efficiency. FL 695 also provides operators with a long service life,” comments Denis Piccolo, Product Manager at BKT.
FL 695’s center-block tread design ensures stability and endurance under all conditions, while also facilitating self-cleaning during use on road, field or other types of terrain. The tread depth contributes to a longer product life cycle, while the robust casing and steel belts provide effective protection against punctures. In addition, the special compound employed in the manufacturing process increases its puncture resistance, thus ensuring reliability in the most demanding operating conditions.
FL 695 is presently available in four sizes: 600/55 R 26.5, 650/55 R 26.5, 600/60 R 30.5 and 710/50 R 30.5. Choosing the right tire for each task means preventing premature wear and tear, ensuring greater product durability, which in turn results in a lower environmental impact and improved cost efficiency.
