TriSteel Bearings: Not your "garden-variety" bearing

With the arrival of good weather comes the legion of homeowners heading to the local hardware rental outlet in search of the tools they need for common springtime construction projects. Spurred on by a slowing economy and a slumping housing market, many ambitious folks are tackling projects that they might have called in a professional contractor to handle during more prosperous times. And as this need for rental equipment grows, so to does the need for consistently reliable equipment performance.

Enter TriStar and their TriSteel bearings – the preferred supplier to leading manufacturers of light construction equipment.

"DIY" and doing it right
The “DIY”, or “do-it-yourself” mentality is alive and well in the US. With a proliferation of big-box hardware stores and DIY programming, many homeowners are now taking on small construction projects to increase the value and utility of their property. Many are spending their weekends on masonry, home additions and lawn and turf care — and they are using compact tractors, mowers and front-end loaders to get the job done.

TriSteel reliability
Built of a special self-lubricating polymer, TriSteel bearings are commonly found on the steering gear and hydraulic motors of these small construction machines. TriSteel bearings are easily customized to various linear lengths to achieve just the right thickness for each application. And with TriSteel, manufacturers can realize a true fail/safe option for their equipment – which is welcome news to the equipment rental market, where novices are the prime operators.

Only TriSteel bearings offer stainless sub straits – an industry first that helps to maximize equipment uptime and lower repair time. And TriSteel bearings are easily matched to the specific speed, load and temperature of individual construction functions.
