Turf Care

Ausco has provided both wet and dry brakes to the lawn care industry for many years. Recently, Ausco introduced its new line of EZ Torque™ ball ramp mechanical calipers. This design is simplicity itself. The patent-pending product boasts the highest mechanical efficiency of any parking brake in its class, requires no mounting bracket and is simple to install.

Recreation

Ausco is leading the charge to improve brake performance in the golf cart, ATV and utility vehicle market.

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. Ausco also has experience providing leading edge calipers with abrasion-resistant linings that hold up even under the most demanding conditions.

Construction

Ausco is the leader in brakes for construction equipment. When John Deere needed a new wet park brake for its "H" series loaders, they called us. Ausco designed a brake that acts as both the parking brake and the mid-mount bearing. The result was a high-value product that eliminated Deere's reliability concerns with caliper brakes and reduced overall cost.

Mining

The needs of mining are unique. You need brakes that will hold up under the worst environments. And you need brakes that won't shut down your operation. You need service, and you need reliability. At Ausco, we understand what a brake has to endure inside a mine. We universally recommend sealed, multi-disc wet brakes. This application requires it.

Agricultural

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. These brakes were the standard for farm equipment for several decades.

Timber/Logging

Ausco produces brakes for a wide variety of equipment in the timber and logging markets. We understand the unique requirements of this industry and know how to deal with the harsh, muddy and equipment-unfriendly nature of timber operations. Our experience ranges from the largest feller bunchers and tree trimmers to the smallest stump grinders. Whether your needs are for a catalog product or a custom-engineered brake, we can help.
