Type 4 HD

Outstanding durability offered by a short buffer that can be impacted hard

Type 4 is a high capacity, short stroke unit particularly suited to the rigours of heavy industry environments, including when being frequently impacted or requiring a long lifetime.

One of the first industrial buffers to be developed by Oleo evolving from a Type 4 rail buffer, the Type 4 is well established in steel mills, mining industries and drawbridge applications to name a few.

Product Advantages

  • Particularly robust design.
  • Efficiency of up to 90%, compared to 50% for spring buffers, allows a reduction in damaging forces and/or installation length.
  • Performance can be optimised for one or more impact scenarios; reaction forces will then be optimal at any velocity.
  • Durable against prolonged exposure to chemical corrosion, weathering or UV radiation.
  • Protective bellow design has passed extensive environmental, endurance and particulate testing.
  • Negligible energy passed back to mass after impact.
