Are You Wasting Wear Plate?
A competitor proudly claims his steel is so much harder, he could not even bend it.
In reality, his wear plate is so brittle it cannot be formed without cracking the steel.
With several tons of pressure on the chain as it drags along the wear plate, it is a fight to the finish to see if the chain will last longer than the deck plate.
With the chain supporting most of the log’s weight, the sides of the deck do not show as much wear as the center.
Repairing Vs. Replacing The Worn Section Reduces Their Investment
Rather than replacing the entire deck plate every few years, adding material to the worn groove will extend the deck life until the chain needs replacing.
JADCO knows your cost saving efforts are important to the maintenance or capital expenditure budget.
This is why JADCO will deliver EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED for your project. If that means 3” wide strips to fill in a worn area, you get it.

What Wear Plate Works The Best In Woodyard Applications?
JADCO’s QT-PLUS ® delivers greater performance IN YOUR MOST CHALLENGING WEAR APPLICATIONS than the various wear steel you have used in the past.
Being able to create wear resistant steel having the same hardness through the entire thickness of the steel, demands you accurately control the alloying chemistry with precise heat treating.
Doesn’t Every Steel Company Make Their Wear Plate Last As Long As JADCO QT-PLUS ®?
The quick answer is No; although the attention to alloy content required at the steel mill is available to anyone. Yet most wear plate distributors choose to reduce the proper quantities and percentages of these essential alloying elements, to get a lower selling price.
When you cut back on these critical alloys, wear life drops, and it is always the customer who suffers.
For the last 46 years, JADCO has focused exclusively on delivering consistent, longer equipment life for our customers.
