Altec^® Brake Systems

Remanufactured Brake Shoes

Today's fleet managers understand the importance of a quality foundation (brake shoe) to the overall performance of a brake system. Very often when tractors and trailers come in for relines mechanics find a brake shoe that is twisted, stretched and distorted. A relined brake shoe that has not been returned to OE specifications will often result in cracked or loose linings, representing a safety hazard and requiring more frequent relines. For many fleets this situation has forced them to purchase an increasing number of new shoes for brake relines, raising costs. There is a better alternative . . .

And with Altec®, your fleet is guaranteed a consistent OE quality brake shoe distributed throughout North America.We’ve got the capacity and logistics to handle any large fleet requirements.
