INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Plastics for Heavy Equipment
On heavy iron, the small parts cause the big downtime. Self-lubricating nylon bushings, UHMW wear pads and polycarbonate cab glazing keep machines in the dirt and out of the shop — no grease points, no corrosion, no shattered glass. We machine them to fit.
Common Heavy Equipment Applications
- Bushings and bearings
- Wear pads
- Sheaves
- Guides for electrical and hydraulic lines
- Rollers
- Liners
- Chutes
- Seals
- Outrigger pads
- Slide bars/cam actuators
- Cushion pads (pile-driving equipment)
- Guards and fenders
- Glazing (windows)
- Grating
- Stairs
Why Plastics Win
- Lightweight
- Corrosion resistant
