Elastomeric Bearing Pads,
Built to Carry the Load
Between a load and its support, the bearing pad decides how force travels through the structure. We manufacture plain and laminated elastomeric bearing pads to your dimensions and load case, for precast concrete, structural steel, piling, and heavy industrial equipment, in project quantities or small replacement batches.
Why Elastomeric Bearing Pads From Us
Concrete and steel are strong but unforgiving: concentrated loads and uneven bearing surfaces spawn cracking, spalling, and premature failure. An elastomeric bearing pad sits in the interface and spreads the load, accommodates the small rotations and movements every structure makes, and isolates vibration before it travels. It is a simple component with an outsized effect on service life.
We produce these pads plain for straightforward load distribution and with steel laminates for heavier structural duty, cut and molded to the size your drawing calls for. If the pad you need belongs to a structure already standing, send us the old one or its dimensions and we will reproduce it.
- Plain pads for load distribution, laminated construction for heavier structural duty
- Made to your drawing: size, thickness, and hole patterns to spec
- Compounds selected for long-term compression set resistance in the field
- Replacements for existing structures reverse-engineered from the old pad
Where Elastomeric Bearing Pads Earn Their Keep
01
Precast Concrete
Bearing strips and pads under beams, slabs, and double tees that even out camber and seating irregularities.
02
Building Structures
Load distribution and movement accommodation at column bases, transfer beams, and connection points.
03
Piling & Foundations
Pile cushions and bearing elements that protect concrete during driving and under long-term working loads.
04
Industrial Equipment
Support pads beneath tanks, skids, and heavy machinery that damp vibration and prevent fretting at the base.
05
Rail & Transport Structures
Bearing and isolation elements where dynamic loads and long service life are part of the specification.
The Right Compound, Not Just Any Rubber
Every material below is stocked and formulated for bearing pads. Not sure which fits? Describe the application and our engineers will match it for you.
Natural Rubber
High elasticity and low compression set for pads that must stay springy under permanent load.
Neoprene
The civil-engineering standard, balancing load performance with resistance to weather, ozone, and oils.
EPDM
For exposure-driven applications where UV, ozone, and water contact rule the service life.
SBR Blends
Cost-effective compounds for general load distribution where aggressive media are absent.
Custom Options
- Plain or steel-laminated construction to match the load case
- Custom length, width, and thickness from your drawing
- Drilled and slotted hole patterns for anchor arrangements
- Project volumes for new builds or small batches for repairs
- Reverse-engineering from an existing pad or sample

Often Ordered Together
Elastomeric Bearing Pads, Answered
What is the difference between a plain and a laminated bearing pad?
A plain pad distributes load and suits moderate duties. A laminated pad bonds steel plates between rubber layers, restraining bulging under heavy loads and allowing greater total thickness, which is why heavier structural applications call for it. We manufacture both and will advise which fits your load case.
Do you make bearing pads for bridges specifically?
Yes, bridge-spec laminated bearings with rotation and movement accommodation have their own page covering girder, abutment, and replacement projects.
Can you match a pad from an existing structure?
Send the old pad, its dimensions, or a rubbing of the bearing seat. We reproduce replacements for structures whose original supply chain has disappeared, including pads for repair and strengthening works.
Which elastomer should a bearing pad be made from?
It depends on the load, the movement, and the exposure. Neoprene is the common civil choice; natural rubber excels where elasticity under permanent load matters; EPDM wins in exposed, weather-driven service. Describe the application in your quote request and we will match the compound.
Can I order a small quantity for a repair?
Repair and maintenance quantities are routine. We would rather supply the handful of pads your repair needs than lose the structure another season of deterioration.
How do I specify pads for a project?
A drawing with plan dimensions, thickness, and the load or load range is the ideal start. If the design is not finalized, send what you have, including photos and measurements of the installation, and our engineers will work the specification with you.
