Slewing Ring Bearings in Transportation and Material Handling Equipment

At LTZC Bearing, we specialize in manufacturing slewing ring bearings that support smooth, heavy-duty rotation in a wide range of industries—including transportation systems and material handling equipment. As demand grows for automated logistics, smart infrastructure, and efficient cargo systems, the importance of high-performance bearings has never been greater.


đźšš Applications in Transportation Equipment

Modern transportation systems—from railways to cargo terminals—rely on components that ensure safe, efficient, and continuous movement. Slewing bearings play an essential role in:

1. Railway Turntables & Bogie Systems

Rail vehicles require accurate rotational motion during direction changes or transfers. Our slewing ring bearings allow rail turntables and bogie pivots to rotate smoothly under significant static and dynamic loads.

2. Aerial Work Platforms (AWPs)

AWPs such as cherry pickers, scissor lifts, and boom lifts depend on slewing bearings for 360-degree rotation of the lifting arm. LTZC bearings ensure safety, load balance, and precise positioning—especially important in urban transportation maintenance.

3. Truck Cranes & Mobile Cranes

In transportation logistics, cranes are used to lift containers, pallets, or construction materials. Our slewing bearings with internal or external gear options offer strong torque support and reliable rotation even under uneven loads.


🏗️ Applications in Material Handling Equipment

Material handling involves moving, lifting, or rotating bulk goods in warehouses, factories, ports, and logistics centers. LTZC slewing bearings are commonly used in:

1. Forklifts and Rotating Telehandlers

For equipment that lifts and rotates pallets or containers, slewing bearings ensure load stability while reducing wear on lifting arms.

2. Robotic Arms & Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)

Precision and reliability are key for AGVs and industrial robots. Our compact, low-friction slewing rings support accurate arm movement and 24/7 automated operation.

3. Conveyor Turntables & Sortation Systems

In modern logistics centers, conveyors often rotate or divert goods between paths. Slewing bearings allow for efficient, low-maintenance turntable integration.

4. Port & Container Handling Cranes

In shipping yards, gantry cranes and container stackers must rotate with stability under high impact loads. Our bearings are engineered to resist salt corrosion and heavy wear.
