Mining is a world of extremes. Massive mining equipment faces punishing conditions: dust, dirt, extreme temperatures, and relentless demands push braking systems to their absolute limits. Failure is not an option. For nearly a century, Carlisle Brake & Friction has met this challenge head-on, engineering robust mining brake systems, friction materials, and hydraulic actuation technology specifically designed for the harsh realities of mining. We understand that "good enough" isn't enough; our solutions are engineered for unparalleled reliability, performance, and longevity.
Our history in mining brakes began in the 1930s with the dawn of off-highway vehicle manufacturing. As the industry evolved, so did we, leading the way with high-density paper and carbon paper friction discs for the shift to large-scale wet brake systems. These innovations set a new industry standard. When a major global manufacturer launched its first generation of mining trucks, Carlisle caliper brakes were chosen—a testament to our engineering prowess. Today, we leverage our deep understanding of mobile mining equipment to remain at the forefront of mining brake technology, constantly innovating and working closely with manufacturers to develop customized solutions that maximize safety, productivity, and uptime. From haul trucks to excavators, Carlisle mining brake systems are designed to keep mining operations running smoothly. Carlisle: Your trusted partner for mining brake systems, built to withstand the extremes.
