Rotary Shaft Seals

Radial shaft seals prevent fluids from leaking from rotating shafts and harmful contamination from entering heavy construction equipment. Radial shaft seals are typically made of elastomeric materials resistant to oil, grease, and other fluids. Radial shaft seals are available in various profiles and materials to suit different construction applications.

O-Rings

O-rings are a staple product in construction applications. They are used to seal mating joints and prevent fluids from leaking out. O-rings are typically made of elastomeric materials resistant to oil, grease, and other fluids. They are available in various sizes and materials to suit challenging application parameters such as harmful chemicals and ozone.

Hydraulic & Pneumatic Seals

These seals play a vital role in ensuring the seamless operation of construction equipment. By preventing leakage and contamination, they maximize efficiency and minimize downtime. From excavators to loaders, the reliability of hydraulics and pneumatics hinges on these seals, ensuring a seamless flow of power and control.

Gaskets

Gaskets are an essential component of most construction equipment. The type of gasket used will depend on the specific construction application. It is important to choose a gasket made of a suitable material and the correct size for the joint. By using the proper gaskets, machine operators can help to keep their equipment running smoothly and safely and prevent costly repairs.

Custom Molded Rubber

Custom molded rubber products are made to a specific set of specifications. This means it can be designed to meet the application's needs. Custom molded rubber is often used in construction equipment because it can withstand the expected harsh conditions. Some benefits of using custom molded rubber in construction equipment include durability, ozone and chemical resistance, flexibility, and customization.

GOETZE Mechanical Face Seals

GOETZE® mechanical face seals are found wherever the going gets tough: wheel hubs and axles, support and guide roller bearings of tracked vehicles, transmissions, and many more axial connections in construction equipment. The portfolio of designs and advanced materials cover applications that include some of the largest equipment worldwide: a diameter of up to 1,425 mm.

Hydraulic Accumulators

Hydraulic accumulators work by storing energy in a compressed gas or liquid. When the actuator requires hydraulic fluid, the accumulator releases the stored energy, providing a smooth, consistent fluid flow. This helps to prevent the actuator from stalling or experiencing pressure spikes. Hydraulic accumulators can offer several benefits to construction applications, including smoother operation, extended lifespan, and safety.

Engineering

Seal engineering for the construction industry is a complex and specialized field. Seal engineering for construction products can be especially challenging, as these products are often exposed to harsh environments and extreme conditions. The seals must be able to withstand these conditions and still perform their function of preventing fluids from leaking out and contamination from entering the system. ESP engineers work closely with construction OEMs to ensure that seals are compatible, can be easily installed and maintained, and perform their function reliably and efficiently.

Assembly

Sub-assemblies for construction applications are costly when assembly line productivity is your focus. They require additional labor, tooling, inventory, floor space, and administrative costs that affect your bottom line. Quality drives our process when you contract assembly with ESP – from PFMEA to PPAP. Dedicated, specifically engineered assembly stations are used for each assembly. Our focus on quality reduces your warranty claims and costs and enhances your brand.

Vendor Managed Inventory

Vendor-managed inventory (VMI) is a strategy in which ESP takes responsibility for managing your seal inventory. This includes forecasting demand, ordering products, and stocking. VMI can be a beneficial strategy for construction product manufacturers because it can help to improve efficiency, reduce vendors, eliminate POs, and streamline operations. ESP will tailor an inventory management program to suit your needs and give you peace of mind that the components you need are where you want them when you need them.

Kitting

For many construction manufacturing operations, kitting can be a time-consuming, cost-eating necessity. ESP offers aftermarket, production, maintenance, and assembly kitting that are effectively and high-quality produced and shipped to your requirements as specified. Kits can be assembled with parts, sub-assemblies, instruction manuals, letterhead, return address, or most any custom requirements and sent directly to your end customer, transparent to your end user.
