Forklift Friction Plates and Components

Global end-to-end distribution of forklift friction plates

At FMC, we manufacture, supply and distribute a comprehensive range of forklift friction plates and components suited for multiple applications across the material handling sector.

Forklift trucks and material-handling equipment are critical to logistics, warehousing, and industrial operations around the world.

These machines rely on precision-engineered friction components, including brake plates, clutch plates, and transmission friction discs, to deliver consistent stopping power, reliable torque transfer and long service life under demanding working conditions.

High-quality friction products ensure safety, efficiency, and uptime for operators and fleet managers alike.

Forklift friction materials must withstand frequent starts and stops, heavy loads, and harsh environments such as dusty warehouses or outdoor ports.

Advanced friction materials are formulated to balance wear resistance, high coefficient of friction, and smooth operation, helping to reduce maintenance costs and increase vehicle reliability. We offer friction plates in a range of materials, designed to lengthen the life and optimise the efficiency of your forklifts.
