Industry-Leading Products
Brake Assemblies
Carlisle park, service, and combo caliper brake assemblies are designed to meet the demands of high energy, high torque applications. Our hydraulically actuated caliper service brake assemblies are built to withstand and perform under any of today’s high energy, high torque braking conditions. In conditions of varying load, our emergency brake assemblies are designed to retain predictable and repeatable performance.
Mechatronics / hydraulic actuation
At Carlisle, we regulate each aspect of the total braking system from the pedal to the brake. We remain dedicated to the testing and development efforts of new and existing products including boosters, master cylinders, slave cylinders, hydraulic valves and actuators. For increased operator comfort and overall performance, Carlisle hydraulic solutions stimulate balanced braking performance across axels.
Friction Products
Carlisle friction technologies help you meet the harsh demands of today’s earth moving equipment. The latest friction materials released by Carlisle demonstrate considerable performance advantages, including the longest wear life of any material currently available on the market today.
Accessories
With decades of design experience, our experienced engineers will help you customize or modify an existing concept, or manufacture a new one, to help you achieve your unique design specifications.
