AASHTO Bearing Pads
Hanna Rubber Company delivers industry-leading AASHTO-grade plain bearing pads, expertly crafted from high-performance neoprene (polychloroprene) and premium natural rubber (polyisoprene) compounds to satisfy AASHTO M251-06 Grade 3 and Grade 5 requirements, as well as AREMA Section 18, Caltrans Section 51, ASTM D4014, and CAN/CSA standards. Engineered for the bridge and heavy construction sectors, our bearing pads accommodate controlled expansion and contraction of precast concrete and structural steel assemblies, effectively dissipate dynamic loads, dampen vibration, and reduce operational noise—ensuring structural integrity and enhanced longevity under fluctuating temperature and load conditions. Available in thicknesses ranging from a precise 1/8″ to an ultra-robust 18″, and in convenient 36″ and 48″ widths, our stock sizes meet a broad spectrum of project demands across all 50 states and Canada. For specialized applications, we offer custom molding in virtually any size, shape, or hardness within the 50–70 durometer range, delivering tailored solutions that maximize performance, safety, and compliance in the most demanding infrastructure environments.
