Performance

Maximizing Bridge Safety While Extending Infrastructure Lifespan

Our POT Bearings are specifically designed to handle heavy traffic volumes while allowing controlled movement that accommodates thermal expansion, contraction, and dynamic loads for optimal structural performance.

Rotational Capability

The confined elastomeric disc allows for rotation about any horizontal axis, accommodating bridge deck deflection and preventing stress concentration in structural elements.

Precision Engineered

Manufactured to exacting tolerances with high-quality materials, ensuring consistent performance throughout the bearing's service life under varying environmental conditions.

Vertical Capacity

Engineered to support substantial vertical loads ranging from 1000kN to 60000kN, making them ideal for high-traffic bridges and heavy-load infrastructure.

Minimal Maintenance

Designed for reduced lifecycle costs with low maintenance requirements, needing only periodic inspections and occasional corrosion protection renewal after 15+ years of service.
