Slide Bearings and Skidways

Utilising our range of Fluorinoid® load bearing low friction materials for over 30 years, we have gained a global reputation for providing slide bearing, pipe supports and skidway solutions to the construction and oil industries. J Bearings & T Bearings We manufacture specific J Bearings & T Bearings for subsea use. The bearings are used on projects incorporating PLETS (Pipe Line End Terminals) where movement may occur between the pipeline/ riser assembly and mudmat. Our range of J Bearings were developed for the BP Greater Plutonia project off Angola in 2005 for deep subsea applications. Pot Bearings We also supply PTFE plain and dimpled inserts to leading manufacturers of pot bearings for road and bridge applications.
