Heavy Vehicle & Trailer
Durable Steel Solutions for Heavy Vehicles
Heavy vehicles face extreme wear conditions that can compromise performance and safety. Stancor Special Steel provides robust solutions with our high-grade plates tailored for durability.
The wear problem
Heavy vehicles often experience sliding abrasion and impact wear due to harsh operating environments. Components like hoppers and chasses typically fail first, leading to costly downtime and repairs.
Recommended plate by component
| Component | Grade | Thickness | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hopper Liners | Stanhard 450 (450 HBW) | 10-20 mm | Provides excellent wear resistance, increasing the lifespan of the liner by up to 50%. |
| Chassis Protection | Stanhard 550 (550 HBW) | 8-15 mm | Engineered to withstand impact and abrasive wear, extending service life significantly. |
| Dump Body Liners | Stanhard 360 (360 HBW) | 6-12 mm | Reduces wear from heavy materials, ensuring optimal dump performance. |
| Armor Plating | Stanmor 475 (475 HBW) | 12-25 mm | Designed to resist ballistic impact and enhance safety in vulnerable areas. |
| High Tensile Frame | Stantuf 700 (700 MPa min) | 10-20 mm | Offers superior tensile strength for structural integrity, ideal for heavy-duty applications. |
