Ag & Construction Structural Components

Composite Materials for Internal Structures

The internal structural components that keep heavy equipment running must stand up to the worst the outdoors can dish out. That means materials must be strong, durable and fatigue- and corrosion-resistant. Composite materials offer exactly these advantages for ag and construction equipment designers and engineers.

We can help you achieve greater levels of efficiency without compromising safety or power.

Highlights

  • Stiff and lightweight replacements for components like frame rails, battery trays and support structures
  • Corrosion resistance for longer lasting parts
  • Design flexibility with Polystrand™ thermoplastic structural composites
  • Remove weight, not strength, by replacing the metal in your brackets with OnForce™ LFT long fiber materials
