However, it must be remembered that
the industry is coming off ultra-low
lows. Even with significant growth,
production will only return to about
replacement-level demand in 2011.

Medium-Duty Demand
While freight and businesses con-
nected to freight hauling are the keys for
heavy-duty demand, you don’t see many
medium-duty vehicles running down the
nation’s highways. Medium-duty vehicle
demand is much more diversified.
Better Under Pressure
More Durable Than Aluminum,
More Machinable Than Steel.
Today’s hydraulic systems demand more power
and higher pressure. Valves and manifolds
made of aluminum start to break down when
pressure rises above 3,000 psi. Not so with
Dura-Bar ductile iron.
With superior machinability and limited deburring,
Dura-Bar is also a cost saving alternative to
low-medium carbon steels.
