GLT Bearings – for reliable applications in forestry equipment

Nowadays, state-of-the-art technology is also found in forestry technology and is increasingly in demand with autonomous and semi-autonomous driving technologies. Advanced assistance systems provide effective support, especially in rough terrain. Especially in hard-to-reach forest areas or steep terrain, onboard hydraulics relieve the driver.

However, all innovative technologies ultimately rely on reliably functioning mechanics, which are exposed to massive forces and adverse environmental conditions, especially in forestry technology. Continuous mechanical and thermal stress can quickly push applications to their limits. It is then essential to rely on individual components to avoid unnecessary downtime due to maintenance or repair.

Benefit from our wide range of standard bearing products and our expertise in manufacturing unique parts and plain bearings for forestry machinery.

The durable ones

Classic challenges in forestry technology include applications such as on-drive trains, gearboxes, axles and hydraulics. Both standard products and unique designs are often required for the enormous stresses caused by mud, heat, cold, wood chips and soil. Material properties and compositions resist these impacts to maintain functionality in extreme weather conditions.
Many of our products claim to be durable depending on the application’s requirements.
