It is also backed by a dependable support system and a nationwide network of installers, making it a reliable choice across Australia.
Below, we explain the top five reasons why businesses are switching to OKUSLIDE® liners.
Let’s start by understanding the common issues with equipment liners.
Common Issues with Other Liners
Before looking at why OKUSLIDE® stands out, it’s worth considering the issues that companies often face with existing liner options:
- Limited Formats: Some liners are available only in sheet form, while others are available only in coil form, restricting their usability across various applications.
- Stock Limitation: Operators often encounter inconsistencies in liner stock availability, which can leave projects stalled for long periods.
- High Costs: Premium liners often carry price tags that operators find difficult to justify. The cost grows significantly in cases of large-scale operations.
- Lengthy Installation: Delivery delays and a lack of professional installation support often extend project downtime.
Why Switch to OKUSLIDE® from Other Liners
The above recurring problems present a strong reason for exploring alternatives. Here is why businesses should switch to OKUSLIDE® liners:
1. Versatility Across Applications
One of the most compelling reasons to switch to OKUSLIDE® is its versatility. Unlike many other liners that come in only one format, such as Quicksilver in coil and Matrox in sheet, OKUSLIDE® is available in both coil and sheet formats.
This versatility enables the selection of the best formats and their installation into vehicles and equipment of different shapes and sizes. With that, installing liners on tippers, truck beds, hoppers, and other equipment becomes hassle-free.
2. Cost-Effectiveness
Some liners come with a high cost despite providing the same level of performance. OKUSLIDE® provides an affordable alternative without compromising performance, durability, or wear resistance, reducing overall expenses.
Furthermore, the OKUSLIDE® ecosystem of weld wire, plugged caps, and other installation components ensures reliable installation and minimises unexpected costs.
The result is a solution that strikes a balance between affordability and long-term reliability, offering a sustainable return on investment.
3. Reliable Supply and Availability
Bulk material handling operations rely on liners to keep equipment performing at its best, and over time, these liners require replacement due to wear. When liner material is scarce, operations are forced to halt. Idle equipment quickly adds to operating costs and disrupts schedules.
OKUSLIDE® stock is readily available across Australia, reducing supply chain concerns. The channel of distributors ensures a quick and reliable supply of liners in the required sizes and formats, regardless of your business location.
With consistent supply, businesses avoid costly interruptions, making it optimal for industries that can’t afford downtime.
4. Professional Installation Support
Poor liner installation can lead to uneven fitting, reducing its lifespan. It may also create safety risks for both equipment and operators.
OKUSLIDE® addresses this issue with a nationwide network of installers. The team is experienced in fitting liners across vehicles, agricultural tools, mining and excavation equipment, and other industry-specific machinery. This experience ensures a correct first-time installation and minimal maintenance needs.
This professional approach not only enhances reliability but also provides operators with confidence that their investment is protected.
5. Performance and Efficiency
Ultimately, the value of a liner depends on how well it performs under pressure. OKUSLIDE® is engineered to enhance both equipment protection and operational efficiency.
OKUSLIDE®’s weldability enables it to fit seamlessly with standard vehicle beds, industry-specific machinery, or custom setups. In addition, its low-friction surface ensures smooth material flow and minimises blockages.
Made using UHMWPE, the OKUSLIDE® liners offer exceptional strength and resistance to impact and abrasion, resulting in extended equipment life. Plus, a low tipping angle provides an additional layer of safety in tipping applications.
These qualities collectively enhance productivity and reduce downtime.
In conclusion, OKUSLIDE® offers businesses benefits far greater than those provided by other liners. Its versatility across different sectors, reliable supply, quick installation, after-sales support, and unmatched performance have made it an optimal choice across various industries.
