BKT Tires Opens Warehouse in South Carolina | Construction News

BKT Tires Inc., a subsidiary of Balkrishna Industries Limited (BKT), announces it has started warehouse operations in Wando, S.C. The first shipment of BKT OTR tires arrived at the warehouse in September and began shipping to dealers in October. 

Shawn Rasey, president of BKT Tires, said: “The warehousing of BKT OTR tires will ensure the company can rapidly meet customer needs in the eastern United States.” Shipping from BKT freight partner, Charleston Freight Station, will include tires ranging in size from 25” rims and larger, reducing order lead time and providing local access to BKT OTR products.

BKT’s Manufacture-to-Cash software systems will facilitate the order process.  According to Rasey, “Specialized lift equipment fitted with rounded forks, poles, tire clamps, and tire slings will assure safe handling and management of OTR tires.”  Warehouse services will include tire storage, inventory and reporting, non-compliant tire stamping, flatbed load-out, and over-sized tire handling and shipping.
