We stringently control the manufacture of our steel brake shoes, using materials
that conform to both German specifications, DIN St52-3 (for the web material)
and DIN Fe360B (for the table material).

Weld detail: Carbon Dioxide Gas Arc Welding guarantees strength, no cracked
or weakened welds and no distortion of the shoe webs.

Cam and anchor detail: Induction hardened cam and anchor for long term
durability and life. Hardness up to HRC35-45 ensures no wear to the pin recess,
preventing lateral movement.

Shoe platform detail: No corrosion or distortion to the shoe platform provides
optimum lining security and geometricity, which helps to reduce brake noise.

Rivet hole detail: No damage, elongation or ovality of the rivet hole, reducing the
risk of loose rivets due to bad fitting.

Cast Iron Shoes: Our cast brake shoes are manufactured from BS2789 / 10 material, painted and
coated with anti-rust preventative.

Brake Linings: We offer multiple formulations most are ECE R90 approved.
All materials are asbestos-free with metallic inclusions and friction modifiers.

Lined Shoe: In addition to our range of Cast and Steel Brake Shoes we also have available a
range of Lined "Wheel End" kits for the popular trailer applications.
