Hydraulic Pads

Because Medium Duty is Not Moderate Duty

Medium duty is not moderate duty. Medium duty applications —which include stop-and

go delivery vehicles, utility trucks and school go buses— are the most severe applications

for hydraulic pads.

So fleets need pads engineered to deliver the best braking and longest life under the

most rigorous conditions.

A-LINE® GC Series Pads Engineered for Medium Duty

Manufactured with a proprietary high endurance semi-metallic and Resilient Graphite Carbon (RGC) formulation, A-LINE® pads are designed for superior performance in heavy load, stop-and-go, and rough terrains.

A-LINE knows that different applications require different friction grades. That’s why we have created the GC1 and GC2 friction formulations.

For lighter vehicles and less rigorous terrain, specify GC1. For heavier vehicles with demanding stop and go on severe terrain, specify our GC2 friction.

Our broad coverage of part numbers makes A-LINE® pads the fleet’s preferred choice for applications like: 

  Cargo Trucks

                                                                     Utility Trucks

                                                                     School Buses

                                                                     Emergency Vehicles

                                                                     Delivery Vans

Two-Year Warranty

All A-LINE® pads come with a two-year limited warranty protection against defects in parts and workmanship. Ask your distributor for more details.

GC Series Medium Duty Hydraulic Pads Yield Higher Torque

A-Line’s GC series medium duty hydraulic pads are engineered for high torque and immediate stopping in even the most severe conditions.

A-LINE GC1 friction produces  torque output of up to 8,400 lb-ft of torque when lightly loaded at 30 mph. GC1 pads yielded more than 6,500 lb-ft of torque when heavily loaded at 60 mph. This shows that GC1 is ideal for medium duty vehicles that need high torque in demanding road conditions.

A-LINE GC2 friction produces nearly 10,000 lb-ft of torque when lightly loaded at 60 mph, and 7,800 lb-ft of torque when heavily loaded at 60 mph. These performance characteristics are perfect for extreme medium duty loads operating in extreme terrains and stop and go conditions.

A-LINE® GC2 Hydraulic Pads
100% Canadian Made For Superior Performance
 

Medium duty brakes are not just a category between light duty and heavy duty, they are the most severe duty applications for hydraulic brake pads. So A-LINE® teamed up with the experts in North America’s harshest environments to engineer our superior GC semi-metal metallic formulation for the most severe hydraulic pads.

Using 100% North American source materials, our Canadian manufacturers not only created a formulation designed to provide excellent braking and reduced wear, but will also remain quieter with every application.

Quality brake pads are manufactured as a “braking system” not as a component.

A-LINE® GC2 pads start with premium high endurance formulations, then add a patented NuCap® NRS backing plate with patented high-torque retention systems, and finish with precision compression and grinding so you receive the highest standards in brake geometry.

Quality engineering and manufacturing is why A-LINE is the Fleet’s First Choice
