Construction
Supporting the Industries that Shape the World
The construction industry plays a vital role in building the world around us, and the heavy-duty equipment that powers this work faces significant challenges, including managing heavy loads, shock and vibration and exposure to harsh environmental conditions such as dirt, dust, moisture and extreme temperatures. Ensuring machinery components can endure these conditions while remaining dependable — and doing so without frequent maintenance or operational interruptions — is essential.
Our portfolio of solutions supports builders in designing and manufacturing this hard-working machinery, optimizing maintenance intervals and keeping a vital industry moving forward.
Engineered Solutions to Reduce Replacement Costs, Labor and Downtime
Excavation Equipment: Built for Heavy-Duty Demands
Track excavators and dozers operate under punishing loads, constant vibration and relentless contamination — conditions that leave no room for compromise. This heavy-duty equipment depends on compact, debris-resistant components capable of handling severe loads, shaft deflection, oscillating motion and frequent directional shifts.
We deliver engineered solutions built to perform in these extremes, helping operators maintain productivity, extend service life and reduce unplanned downtime. Our portfolio features advanced tapered and cylindrical roller bearings with surface enhancements, spherical roller bearings designed to accommodate misalignment, Aurora® spherical plain bearings and GGB DX®/GAR-MAX® engineered bushings—each built to deliver durability and reliable performance in harsh operating conditions.
Earthmoving Equipment: Engineered Solutions for Extreme Work
Earthmoving equipment operates at the heart of construction, infrastructure and site development projects. Wheel loaders, motor graders and pavers must perform reliably through heavy loads, fluctuating speeds and exposure to dust, debris, and moisture. In these environments, component durability and consistent performance are critical to keeping projects on schedule and equipment running at peak efficiency.
We support these demands with enhanced internal geometries, ES coatings, advanced bushings and high-temperature sealed bearing units designed for long-lasting, reliable performance to keep your jobs moving.
Building Construction Machines: Designed for Precision
Backhoe loaders, telehandlers and skid steer loaders must deliver precise control while handling heavy loads, repetitive motion and constant directional changes. To maintain accuracy, safety and uptime, these machines rely on robust components engineered to perform consistently in high-stress applications.
Our solutions include surface-enhanced tapered rollers, fuel-efficient cylindrical bearings, power-dense geometries, Aurora® rod ends and GGB® composite bushings help ensure smooth operation, responsive handling and long service life across diverse applications.
BEKA EP-1 Progressive Lubrication System
There’s a lot to be said for the right amount of lubrication at the right time, consistently over the life of a machine. Bearings, chains, and gears simply last longer. Grease collars form to keep dirt and moisture out. Blown-out seals become a thing of the past.
Our automatic lubrication systems are engineered to keep critical earthmoving and construction machinery moving.
The BEKA EP-1 is an electrically actuated pump for progressive lubrication with up to three independently operating lubrication outlets. Because the pump is suitable for pumping NLGI-000 to NLGI-2 grease, it is ideal for a wide range of applications.
