Plastic Materials For Heavy Equipment
Despite the extremely heavy loads and challenging work environments of most heavy equipment, plastics offer performance superior to many traditional materials in vital applications.
Environmental and Safety:
Considering the total carbon footprint, including costs of raw materials, manufacture, transport, fabricate, install, maintain, plastics compare favorably with more traditional materials. Also, plastics are safer to handle and install. When you consider that most plastics are readily recyclable, they can become the most environmentally responsible and safest choice for many demanding heavy equipment applications.
