Construction Machinery

The reality of a final building or structure being open for use requires many skilled people to operate and direct the use of the heavy duty and complex machinery. The clearing of an existing site to make it ready for new construction involves the use of lots of heavy-duty equipment as well as the new construction which involves even more.

The large Earth moving equipment all has many moving parts subject to high vibrations and dynamic loads.

The use of WL Series wedge locking washers is common on the bolted joints in areas such as the Earth Moving bucket joints and on the tracks of the vehicles where excessive load is applied.

Access equipment such as scissor lifts also have many moving parts which are essential to stay connected. The construction site in general will have many opportunities for the use of WL Series Wedge Locking Washers where the need for a safety critical bolted joint to maintain its pre-load is essential.
