BlueScope Distribution supplies PT United Tractors Pandu Engineering (Patria) BISALLOY® Wear 450 Quenched & Tempered (Q&T) steel plate and BISALLOY® Structural 80 Q&T steel plate to produce a range of equipment, parts and accessories including trucks, tippers, trailers, fuel pumps, waste pumps, dump vessels, attachments, concrete mixers, bulk tankers and forklifts.
BISALLOY® Wear steel has been continually manufactured in Australia for over 40 years. It ensures properties such as ductility, weldability, and toughness, while also meeting the required hardness and strength. It’s also a popular choice due to its lighter weight, wear and impact resistance, and straightforward fabrication.
PT United Tractors Pandu Engineering uses BISALLOY® Wear 450 steel plate for approximately 83% of all products they manufacture. It has a nominal hardness of 450 HBW and is formulated to be readily usable and easily bent, formed, welded, cut and drilled, BISALLOY® Wear 450 steel is ideal for applications subject to wear such as tipper truck trailers, rubbish skip bins and concrete agitators.
BISALLOY® Structural 80 steel is a low alloy, high strength steel plate with a yield stress three times that of carbon steel and featuring low carbon, excellent notch toughness and excellent weldability and formability. The high strength properties of BISALLOY® Structural 80 steel allows a reduction in section thickness without loss of structural integrity.
The volume of products made by PT United Tractors Pandu Engineering (Patria) and PT Triatra Sinergia Pratama require both the range and quality of Q&T steel plate supplied by BlueScope Distribution, backed by the know-how of BlueScope Distribution’s Export team to ensure all products are scheduled, shipped and arrive on time.
