Extreme Wear Resistant Plate
Air Corrosion Resistance
Longer Service Life at a Lower Cost
High Fatigue Strength Limit, Air Corrosion Resistant, Extreme Abrasion Resistant Steels
Giflo not only makes industry defining protection and performance structural steels, but it also offers a range of extreme abrasion resistant steels. Giflo’s metallurgical strengthening technology means HARDMAX (EN 10051 - EN 10029) is hard from the surface deep down to its core, giving users extended service life and high productivity in the most challenging environments.
HARDMAX can be used for more than just wear plate, it can act as the load-carrying structure in many applications due to its unique combination of hardness and toughness. With HARDMAX wear plate, you can design structures that are wear-resistant, strong and lightweight, all at the same time.
HARDMAX wear-resistant steels help to reduce weight, improve fuel economy and extend the service life of truck bodies, containers, dumpers, buckets, garbage trucks and more. The lower weight from lighter bodies allows fleets to carry more load using the same vehicles. For example, a lighter dumpster container made of HARDMAX steel means an increased load capacity of 15-20%, or even more in some applications.
This extra capacity may result in fewer trips per day because the vehicle can carry more payload. A lower curb weight also reduces fuel consumption, and in turn, operating costs. As an extra bonus, 100% of HARDMAX wear plate can be recycled at the end of its lifetime without loss of its properties or performance.
