Hercules Engineering Australia

Manufacturers and suppliers of Hercules™ composite slip joints, and the Herculon™ range of structural bearings.

Our range of products include:

Hercuslip™ Composite Slipjoint

A reliable, easily applied slipjoint material on load bearing brickwork and under concrete slabs. It is specifically designed to centralise loads and accommodate initial shrinkage and subsequent thermal movement.

Ideal for post-tensioned and cast in-situ slabs.

Hercules™ Shearstrip

This is a reliable, economical bearing strip under short span cast concrete slabs. Designed to centralise loads and accomodate very small movements.

Herculon™ Modified Type "B" and Type "D" Bearing

These bearings have been developed to fulfil the need for a simple, low friction bearing on corbels and columns where a continuous slipjoint is inappropriate. The can be cast in-situ and post-tensioned slabs and beams. Type "D" is used where a highly stressed bearing is required.


Type "B" Bearing
Type "D" Bearing
Herculon™ Type "D" Free Float Bearing

Another low friction bearing on corbels and columns where a continuous slipjoint is inappropriate.

They can be used under

  • beams and slabs
  • pipes and ducts
  • conveyors
  • pressure vessels
  • small span bridges.
Herculon™ Type "D" Sliding Guides Bearing

Used in similar situations as for free float bearings but designed to be removable and to accept a lateral load of 30% of the vertical rated load.

Herculon™ Type "D" Fixed Bearing

Developed to fulfil the need for a rotation only bearing on corbels and columns. They can be used under beams and slabs and also under pipes, ducts, conveyors, pressure vessels and small span bridges. These bearings are designed to be removable and to accept a lateral load of 30% of the vertical rated load.

Herculon™ Type "D" Tanktop Bearing

An easily installed low friction bearing under roof beams of water tanks. They are particularly useful where loads are small and both lateral and uplift forces need to be accommodated. Can also be used in other light structures.
