CAREERS INVESTORS CONTACT US GD WORLDWIDE PRODUCTS & Brands OUR Company OUR Industries Industries Industry Overview Automotive Chemical Electric Power Environmental Food and Beverage General Industrial Labs and Life Science Marine Mining & Construction Oil and Gas Pulp and Paper Transportation TRANSPORTATION Applications within the transportation industry include dry bulk and liquid transfer; tyre inflation, braking systems, cushioned suspensions and air tools in the utility sector as well as providing access to overhead works and utilities for installation, maintenance and repairs. We also provide energy efficient compressed air solutions. COMPRESSED AIR APPLICATIONS Air compressors are used in a whole variety of transit applications that include main line trains, light rail trains, underground trains, trams, metros, hybrid buses, electric buses, etc. With the focus on reducing energy consumption and the move towards more sustainable energy forms, the use of electrically driven compressors with an on-demand control system is increasing. The vane compressor is ideal for both new build and retrofit transit applications as it is an integrated unit offering ‘plug and play’ capability. Compressed air is used for braking systems, suspension systems, door operation, floor leveling systems, pantographs, wipers and claxons. Following the example of transit applications, transport is also moving towards electrically powered vans and trucks which require electric compressors supplying air for the braking and suspension systems. DRIVELINES AND TRANSMISSIONS Webster Drives’ engineered driveline & transmission equipment can be applied to all commercial vehicle applications in both the on highway & off highway sectors. Coach, all-terrain military vehicle and construction equipment body builders all benefit from Webster Drives specialist expertise. Building to customer specifications or delivering bespoke solutions, Webster Drives offer maximum flexibility to the body builder. DRY BULK DISCHARGE Drum products have enjoyed a long, successful history of providing solutions for loading and unloading liquids and dry bulk materials from road tankers. Dry bulk materials conveyed range from fine powders such as cement through to larger pellets like animal feed. Pressure discharging bulk liquids increases the range of liquids that can be hauled by a tanker, thus increasing fleet flexibility. All Drum products are designed to provide market leading performance in small, low weight installations to allow hauliers to maximise profits. MOBILE POWER Air Drive under floor systems use the host vehicle’s engine to provide mobile power to contractors, utility companies and local authorities. Eliminating the need to tow a separate auxiliary engine to provide power, Air Drive solutions lower operational costs, free up towing capability and increase security of the equipment. Applications include optical fibre blowing, road and pavement repairs/patching, white lining, crash barrier repair, insulation blowing and tyre inflation.
