SLIDE BEARINGS & SKIDWAY PLATES FOR A RANGE OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

The construction industry is one of the most demanding industries in the world, which is why all our components offer exceptional weather and abrasion resistance as well as being designed to the highest standards.

Drie-D – Large Slide Bearings Project

For this particular order we had a customer request for a large quantity of fairly technical slide bearings with tight tolerances and angles that would be difficult to achieve for most.

PTFE SKIDWAY PLATES

We offer a range of PTFE skidway plates to suit your individual requirements.

At AFT Fluorotec we like to push the technical boundaries, which is why we developed a special reinforced PTFE material specifically for skidway applications. Structures weighing up to 30000 tonnes have been successfully loaded out on PTFE skidways.

SLIDE BEARINGS

AFT Fluorotec have been manufacturing slide bearings for the UK construction industry for many years.They are becoming more and more common as buildings use steel skeleton structures and require the use of movement and / or expansion joints in the form of PTFE slide bearings.

Our team of specialists will work with you to develop custom solutions to your projects, able to produce components in a wide range of materials.

TECHNICAL EXPERTISE

If your project needs expert input about the material choice for a specific component or coating, our team can help. We pride ourselves in finding solutions where other suppliers couldn't. All of our clients are different, but they come to us for the same reasons - they need our technical expertise to develop robust solutions that improve their internal processes, saving them time and money.

We routinely work with a wide variety of materials and can design a bespoke fluoropolymer solution that meets your requirements.

Development of Ashton Gate Stadium

We were asked to design, manufacture and deliver custom slide bearings for the redevelopment of West Stand at Ashton Gate, home to Bristol City Football Club. One of our long-standing very good customers needed these on-site within a few days to prevent any deviation from the program of construction.

This type of request is nothing new to us. It seems at the design stage and then through to manufacturing the structures in their individual factories, the slide bearings are overlooked and viewed as consumables – like bolts maybe.

With tight deadlines, we were able to design bespoke slide bearings in record time that kept the project timeline on track!
