Ausco invented the spring applied-hydraulically released multi-disc brake in the early 1970s. Today, Ausco remains the leader in spring applied-hydraulically released brakes.
Ausco has raised the standard for mechanical calipers with its new EZTorque ball ramp caliper design. This brake produces the highest torque of any caliper in its class.
Ausco has developed new calipers for everything from sprayers and airport tow tractors to utility vehicles, with many more new designs on the way.
Since Ausco patented the original energizing disc brake in 1946, the ball ramp brake has evolved into a more efficient and cost-effective design.
We understand what a brake has to endure inside a mine. We universally recommend sealed, multi-disc wet brakes. This application requires it.
Ausco leads the market with innovative products on dozers, mini-dumpers, backhoe loaders, telehandlers, trenchers, pavers, graders, etc.
Ausco's 60 years of experience in agricultural braking make it the leader in this industry. Ausco developed and patented the ball ramp for farm tractors in 1946.
Our experience ranges from the largest feller bunchers and tree trimmers to the smallest stump grinders.
Ausco was the first to apply wet brake technology to these rough-and-tumble little vehicles. The resulting product was fade-proof and virtually maintenance-free.
Recently, Ausco introduced its new line of EZ Torque™ ball ramp mechanical calipers. This design is simplicity itself.
