Never heard of Akuret but you can look at the DOT code and see where they were manufactured, for whatever that's worth. As to determining whether your rims can handle a higher pressure, the max. pressure will be stamped somewhere on the rim. If you are lucky it will be somewhere on the back (inward facing) side of the rim, if you are unlucky it will be on the inside and not visible with a tire installed.

But before you worry about whether you can use a higher pressure tire I'd add up the maximum weight capacity of your E-rated tires and compare it to the max. gross weight of your unit, minus the pin weight (IOW you are looking for the weight that is actually on your axles.) If you end up with at least a 15-20% safety margin then you are probably safe using good-quality E-rated tires. If less than that then a size upgrade may be in order.
