Elasto Proxy makes tractor parts that provide sealing, insulation, and added value.
March 18th is National Agriculture Day, and Elasto Proxy is celebrating this annual event by honoring the farmers who keep us fed as they care for the land. In Canada, Elasto Proxy supplies tractor parts to Buhler Industries and to MacDon industries. We support these Manitoba manufacturers from our Canadian branches with headliners, hood connectors, and noise dampeners
John Rye, our branch manager in Newmarket, Ontario, explains more in the video below. He also describes how Elasto Proxy can supply tractor manufacturers with parts for autonomous vehicles. Driver-less tractors don’t need to protect operators against outdoor environments and loud engine sounds, but they’re filled with electronics that need sealing and insulation.
Complete Solutions for Agricultural Equipment
From the cabin to the engine bay, and all around the exterior, Elasto Proxy provides complete solutions for agricultural equipment. The sealing and insulation that we supply are made to your specifications from materials we can source from over 200 global partners. Depending on your location, we can support your company from our branches in Canada, the United States, or Europe.
Sealing and Weatherproofing
It doesn’t matter whether a tractor is driven or driverless. Without sealing and weatherproofing, the cab where an operator sits or the enclosure that houses electronics are at risk from dust, moisture, and weather conditions. That’s why Elasto Proxy supplies custom door seals, enclosure seals, and window gaskets to agricultural OEMs. We can recommend the right rubber, cut it to length, and bond cut-lengths into finished gaskets that arrive ready-to-install.
Thermal and Acoustic Insulation
Big diesel engines run hot and loud. That’s why Elasto Proxy makes thermal and acoustic insulation that keeps engine bays cooler and cabs quieter for greater operator comfort. In addition to cabin headliners and engine bay insulation, Elasto Proxy fabricates rubber flooring that provides a durable, slip-resistant surface. We can also laminate floor matting to thermal and acoustic materials for a complete solution that helps keep operators comfortable and safe.
Vibration Damping and Shock Absorption
Vibration damping and shock absorption help protect a tractor’s service life and performance. Vibrations that cause doors or windows to rattle can also annoy or distract operators, especially in quieter electric tractors. That’s why Elasto Proxy provides agricultural OEMs with vibration mounts and shock absorbers made from rubber-to-metal assemblies. We also fabricate vibration dampers from extruded vinyl, fiberglass, metal foil, asphalt-impregnated paperboard, and polyurethane foam.
Custom-Molded Rubber and Plastic Parts
Elasto Proxy offers one-stop shopping to industrial buyers of tractor parts. In addition to vibration mounts, we supply custom molded rubber parts like grommets for wires and cables, bumpers for impact protection, and silicone hoses and hose connectors. We also offer rubber hose clamps, bellows, and shifter boots along with custom molded plastic products such as control and button covers.
Pre-Cut Kits for Easy Installation
Elasto Proxy is more than a fabricator and a distributor. We’re also a value-added manufacturer that can supply you with pre-cut kits for easy installation. Imagine receiving a box with all the parts your assemblers need for a stop on the line. Your installers don’t have to cut materials to size, and everything they need is packaging in assembly order. In addition to speeding production, pre-cut kits reduce material waste since they eliminate the risk of miscuts by workers with hand tools.
Supply Chain and Inventory Management
The benefits of value-added manufacturing don’t end there. Kitting can reduce the number of SKUs you need to track. Industrial buyers can also consolidate their vendor lists and secure their supply of materials. Elasto Proxy can buy everything you need for a forecast period and store these items in one of our warehouses. By issuing a blanket purchase order, you can get the benefit of volume discounts without having to pay for materials or products until we ship them.
