Industry Insights

Abrasion is a mechanical wear process that occurs when materials rub, scrape, or grind across a truck tray. In Australian haulage environments, where aggregates, soil, ore, rubble and mixed waste are often dry, coarse and angular, this wear becomes more severe.

OKUSLIDE® liners are widely used across mining, construction, agriculture, quarrying, waste handling, and bulk transport because they improve material flow and protect truck bodies from wear. A common question operators raise is whether a single OKUSLIDE® liner can perform equally well under saturated, sticky or slurry-based loads as well as dry, abrasive or high-impact conditions.

In industries that handle bulk materials, equipment faces issues such as constant wear and tear, material buildup, impact damage, and safety risks. Equipment liners are a solution to all these problems, protecting equipment from abrasion, impact, and material build-up.
