INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Plastics for Transportation
In anything that rolls, floats or rides the rails, weight is money. Polycarbonate glazing weighs half what glass does; UHMW liners let loads slide out clean; nylon wear plates run greaseless for years. We supply fleets, upfitters and transit shops with the materials cut to size — and machine the replacement parts that keep equipment moving.
Common Transportation Applications
- Marine — seating, switch board panels, relay bases, bearings, bushings, port hole windows, cabinetry, seals, trays, decking, bimini surrounds, cutting boards, anchor shrouds, fuel/fluid handling tubing
- Mass transit (rail car and bus) — bearings, pedestal liners, coupler carrier wear plates, brake beam guides, center bowl liners, luggage compartment components, folding trays, bus windows, wall panels, mirrors, driver security glazing, air conditioning housings, lighting covers, electrical wear shoes
- RV — windshields, interior components, wear pads, lighting covers, body panels, hinge pins
- Trucks — dump truck liners, flooring, wear pads, step ups, light housings, covers, fan shrouds, snow plows, mud flaps, fifth wheel bearing plates
Why Plastics Win
- Lightweight, resulting in better fuel efficiency
- Impact, weather, chemical, corrosion and fire resistant
- Easy to fabricate
- Reduced maintenance and downtime
- Sound dampening
- Low friction
- Design flexibility, offered in a variety of colors and decorative caps
- Easily manipulated into complex fabricated or thermoformed parts
