The ATRO Difference

Molding Your Future with ATRO Polyurethane Bushings, Mounts and Torque Rods

ATRO's patented designs, state-of-the-art manufacturing plant, extensive aftermarket distributor network and OEM customer base make us an industry leader developing products which improve performance, eliminate downtime and help control costs. With the obvious advantage polyurethane has over rubber, combined with our continuous improvements through innovative world-class processes, ATRO truly delivers solutions that mold your future.
 

Purpose Engineered Polyurethane

ATRO polyurethane components for heavy-duty trucks, trailers and buses dramatically outperform the same parts using traditional rubber while improving vehicle ride quality and reducing stress on related components.  That's the basis on which ATRO was formed.  But it's just the beginning.

ATRO is the only polyurethane producer that has a score of specific formulas to fit each task within a given vehicle and protect the adjoining components.

Unlike rubber, polyurethane can be formulated thousands of different ways to perform under any combination of conditions. Heavy-duty suspension applications encounter very different environments, stresses and needs; whether it's temperature extremes, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, or load-bearing and spring-back qualities.

At ATRO Engineered Systems, using "off-the-shelf" polyurethane is out of the question. While other companies practice “one type fits all” when it comes to using polyurethane, at ATRO we engineer polyurethanes specific to the part and its end-use. It's the foundation of our business and the reason we are the leader in heavy-duty polyurethane suspension parts and service.

Matching a polyurethane to a specific end-use not only increases longevity of the part, it has everything to do with the containment of vibration, ride and cab stability. In other words, proper polyurethane selection for each capacity creates a synergy among related components that preserves the integrity of the vehicle as it navigates through stress, load and environmental challenges.

Free-Rotating Pin Design

ATRO’s breakthrough design efforts culminated in the introduction of the free-rotating design. It included chemically bonding the polyurethane to the outer bushing sleeve while the inner pin, now equipped with concentric rings, remained unattached. These fundamental advances lengthened the life of the part, increased durability under extreme conditions and ultimately lead to operating cost reduction as the vehicles experienced less and less down-time for repairs and maintenance.

Full Product Range

The goal of every fleet operator is to have every one of its units in service at all times, with a minimum of down time. Each day that a truck, bus or trailer is stagnant results in loss of revenue or failed deliveries. Historically, our polyurethane parts have outlasted and outperformed competitors’ rubber equivalents by three, four and up to ten times. Our components for heavy-duty trucks and other vehicles dramatically outstrip the competition while improving vehicle ride quality and reducing stress on related components.

ATRO has a complete range of Bushings, Mounts and Torque Rods for:

• Trucks

• Trailers

• Buses and Coaches

• Bumpers

The entire product line has undergone rigorous study and testing using every element that we have here at our disposal. Advanced engineering, design and quality materials are used to meet or exceed the OEM specifications.

Bottom line, trucks and fleets are in service longer, withstand punishing terrains better and need far less maintenance when ATRO’s family of polyurethane parts is spread throughout the vehicle’s suspension and related components.

That's the ATRO Difference!
