Construction

Design engineers in construction and off-highway equipment face significant challenges, including managing heavy loads, constant shock and vibration, and exposure to harsh environmental conditions such as dirt, dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Ensuring components are durable, reliable, and able to withstand these demanding conditions while minimizing maintenance and operational disruptions is critical. Additionally, engineers must balance performance with cost efficiency and design constraints, such as fitting components into compact spaces without compromising functionality.


GGB's advanced bearing and coating solutions are specifically designed to tackle these challenges. Our self-lubricating  surface solutions excel under heavy loads and resist wear from constant shock and vibration, ensuring long-lasting performance even in the harshest environments. With superior corrosion resistance and the ability to operate across wide temperature ranges, GGB solutions enhance the reliability and lifespan of construction and off-highway equipment. By reducing friction and noise, our bearings and coatings improve operational efficiency and operator comfort, all while supporting cost-effective, high-performance designs that keep your equipment running smoothly in the field.

GGB Advantage

Heavy Loads and High Stress
GGB bearings are engineered to withstand high loads and stress, ensuring reliable performance in heavy-duty machinery such as bulldozers, excavators, and cranes.

Contaminated Environments
Our self-lubricating bearings and coatings resist contamination from dirt, dust, and debris, preventing premature wear and maintaining consistent functionality in harsh construction environments.

Corrosion Resistance
With corrosion-resistant materials, GGB surface materials bearings perform reliably in moist, chemical-laden, and variable weather conditions, providing long-lasting durability in outdoor and off-road applications.

Shock and Vibration
GGB bearings and coatings absorb and dissipate shock and vibration, reducing operational disturbances and increasing equipment stability, even in the most demanding construction applications.

Temperature Fluctuations
Designed to perform in extreme temperatures, GGB bearings remain effective under intense heat or freezing conditions, ensuring consistent operation year-round.

Eliminate Lubricants
Our self-lubricating bearings and coatings solutions minimize the need for frequent lubrication, ensuring optimal performance in environments where maintaining lubrication is difficult.

Noise Reduction
GGB bearings and coatings help reduce noise and vibration, enhancing operator comfort while meeting noise regulations and improving overall equipment performance.
