The BKT EM 936 is an Off-The-Road (OTR) bias-ply tire line engineered for the most demanding earthmoving and construction applications. Built by BKT (Balkrishna Industries) — a globally recognized leader in specialty off-highway tires — the EM 936 series is purpose-built to withstand the rigors of construction sites, quarries, and heavy industrial environments across a wide range of equipment types.
Carrying an E-2/L-2/G-2 tread classification, the EM 936 is specifically developed for excavators, telehandlers, graders, and wheel loaders engaged in digging, loading, grading, and material transport. Its open tread design and bias-ply construction work in concert to deliver the traction, stability, and durability that operators depend on in the field. A Special compound variant is also available within the line for applications demanding even greater resistance to cuts, chips, and abrasion in high-wear environments.
Key Features:
- E-2/L-2/G-2 Tread Pattern: Standard-depth traction tread optimized for earthmoving and construction equipment operating across mixed and challenging terrain conditions
- Outstanding Self-Cleaning Properties: Open tread design effectively expels mud, debris, and loose material to maintain consistent grip in demanding underfoot conditions
- Bias-Ply Construction: Delivers robust sidewall strength, puncture resistance, and load-carrying stability — hallmarks of dependable heavy-duty off-highway performance
- Special Compound Option: An enhanced tread compound variant engineered for superior resistance to cuts, chips, and abrasion in aggressive operating environments
- Exceptional Operator Comfort: Engineered for outstanding ride quality and high handling stability throughout continuous heavy-duty work cycles
- Versatile Equipment Compatibility: Suitable for excavators, wheel loaders, graders, telehandlers, and a broad range of other earthmoving and construction machinery
Performance Benefits:
- Excellent traction on loose, soft, and uneven terrain under sustained heavy-duty service
- Consistent handling stability and operator comfort across loading, excavating, and material transport cycles
- Long service life backed by reinforced bias-ply construction built to endure demanding work environments
- Stable, predictable performance that supports productivity and operational safety throughout the tire's service life
BKT produces its OTR tires with high-end compounds designed to deliver longer tread wear along with enhanced resistance to rock cuts and punctures — critical attributes in environments where downtime means lost productivity. With an in-house research and development center and full control over the manufacturing process — including tire molds and carbon black production — BKT maintains strict quality standards across the entire EM 936 line.
Available across a wide selection of sizes to accommodate the full spectrum of OTR equipment, the BKT EM 936 combines proven bias-ply technology with a specialized self-cleaning tread design to deliver the traction, durability, and reliability your fleet demands — cycle after cycle, job after job.
