Logistics & ports
Salt air, back-to-back shifts and a crane that cannot stay up there
Ports, terminals and logistics. Bearings and seals for marine environments, belting and splices for loading terminals, batteries and transmission for material handling equipment.
On-site serviceBelt service at the terminal: vulcanizing, belt repair and roller lagging without dismantling the system.
The problem
Salt corrodes what the datasheet never accounted for
Port equipment works in the worst possible environment for a metal component: permanent humidity, airborne salt and heavy load cycles. A bearing selected with indoor-plant criteria fails on the dock far earlier than expected, and the replacement happens with the crane out of service and the ship waiting.
What the sector demands
Accelerated corrosion
Salt attacks surfaces, seals and structure at a rate no indoor plant ever sees.
Equipment availability
A stopped crane blocks the entire dock operation, not just its own task.
Bulk handling
Terminal conveyors move abrasive material under continuous demand.
Back-to-back shifts
Equipment does not rest while a ship is at the dock, whatever the hour.
