Bohnenkamp Austria GesmbH has compiled all items from the wheel assembly sector in a separate product range overview. Over 55 pages, the new "Mounting accessories" catalogue brings together a total of 250 products, tools, machines and aids, some of which have been tried and tested millions of times in practice. The reference book will be published this week.

With the Kenda Klever X/T, Bohnenkamp AG is now adding an extremely resilient and high-quality alternative to its powersport range. The new tread is seen as the KENDA brand's clear response to ever larger and more high-performance vehicles in the ATV and SSV sector.

The NUFAM commercial vehicle trade fair, which takes place every two years, attracted renowned companies from the commercial vehicle industry to Karlsruhe. Here, Bohnenkamp AG, Europe's leading wholesaler for commercial vehicle tyres, presented its impressive range of tyres and wheels for trucks and transport in the dm-arena, stand E 414, from 21 to 24 September 2023.

Using the truck on the field - contractor Holger Jäger was initially ridiculed for this idea when he equipped his first converted two-axle truck with excavator tyres from the Netherlands in 1996. But success proved him right. Today, the fleet of the medium-sized agricultural service company comprises six articulated trucks suitable for arable farming. In the harvest season, they drive on all axles with the powerful Alliance 398.

By looking at the shared history of Bohnenkamp and BKT, a lot can be revealed about our own development, our reliability towards customers and partners, and our continually fresh ideas for a successful, partnership-based future. We spoke with our Chairman of the Board Gregor Rüth and the Head of Overall Sales Thomas Pott about the previous, very dynamic years and future perspectives.

The Indian tyre manufacturer BKT has grown significantly over the past ten years. The company with headquarters in Mumbai, India, has opened two production facilities as well as its own industrial waste production plant. The expansion of production capacity and the growth-promoting investments in research and development have positioned BKT well to serve the sectors OTR, agriculture and industry worldwide with tyres. We spoke to BKT Chairman Arvind Poddar during the anniversary celebrations.

BKT brand tyres have been part of our company's standard product range for 25 years. We celebrated the partnership that has connected us ever since with a joint event in Osnabrück to mark the anniversary. Time to look back - and set the course for the future.

With the Alliance 590, the manufacturer Yokohama Off-Highway Tires launched a flotation tyre specifically for use in agriculture and the construction industry last year. The tread has been available at Bohnenkamp since this year.

For safe use on the construction site, we have equipped a rear tipper, a low loader, and a tipping semi-trailer unit each with a complete set of sample tyres. The pinpoint selection shows the breadth and depth of our range for construction site trucks in every application scenario.

There's no cheaper way to ballast a tractor than with water in the tyres. However, for a safe ride with water-filled tyres, workshops and users must observe a few basic rules - also because some tyre manufacturers expressly advise against water ballast. Our workshop tip on water-filled tyres shows what practitioners need to pay attention to.
