A prominent South African side-tipper truck manufacturer has substantially raised its monthly orders for South African bearings manufacturer Vesconite Bearings’ self-lubricating bushings, which Vesconite development engineer Tristen Wintershoven says, “showcases the manufacturer’s trust in Vesconite’s products, but also signals a fundamental shift in the sector’s procurement norms”. He attributes this significant development to the company’s “outstanding performance, as well as the self-lubrication products’ unparalleled dimensional stability”, which he says has positioned it as the preferred choice, and enabled it to surpass traditional materials like nylon and bronze.
