Steel is known for its strength, durability, thermal conductivity, and other great features. However, it’s not resistant to impact and abrasion. Over time, most steel-manufactured components will fail due to high impact, abrasion, or chemical corrosion. Steel isn’t quite so formidable when it’s up against these enemies! When steel fails, productivity screeches to a halt. Money and time are lost due to repairs and downtime. The good news? We created a solution. Our bolted liner product line was designed to help steel stay strong for longer. 

Street sweepers slowly move along roads and through neighborhoods, so we sometimes forget that they are complicated machines doing an important - and risky- job. These vehicles spend all day sweeping up gravel, sand, salt, and other debris at up to 4000 revolutions per minute. You can imagine the wear and tear. These particles can cause extensive abrasion and impact issues, enough to put an entire street sweeper out of commission.

Steel may be one of the strongest metals used in heavy duty equipment, but it can only take so much impact, abrasion, and corrosion before it fails. And that’s why we created our bolted liner product line, arguably one of the most heavy-duty lining systems on the market today.
