Heavy Equipment

Despite the extremely heavy loads and challenging work environments of most heavy equipment, performance plastics over performance superior to many traditional materials in vital applications.

Materials

- Acrylic (PMMA)

- Fiberglass Reinforced Polymers (FRP)

- High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

- Nylon (PA)

- Polycarbonate (PC)

- Polyethylenterepthalate (PET)

- Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene

- (UHMW-PE)

Applications For Heavy Equipment

- Bushings and bearings

- Wear pads

- Sheaves

- Guides for electrical and hydraulic lines

- Rollers

- Liners

- Chutes

- Seals

- Outrigger pads

Benefits

Did You Know?


Self-lubricating performance plastic wear parts can reduce or eliminate lubricant “wash-out” in heavy equipment bearing applications, greatly reducing non-point source pollution that seeps into the groundwater.
