Our Polyurethane Bridge Bearing Pads are expertly engineered by Pepsen, a leading China manufacturer and supplier specializing in urethane load-bearing solutions. These pads outperform traditional rubber and elastomer alternatives with superior abrasion resistance, tensile strength, and long-term structural stability. The cast urethane formula delivers consistent performance in demanding environments, giving buyers a product that’s durable, reliable, and cost-effective. All urethane pads are cast in one piece, with smooth surfaces and no bubbles or defects.

OEM service is fully supported in our factory, and our polyurethane bridge bearing pads are widely used in highway, railway, municipal bridge construction projects, as well as seismic zone and river-crossing bridge engineering. We also cater to precast concrete and steel structure bridge projects, providing customized solutions for different infrastructure construction needs.

Advantages of Polyurethane Bridge Bearing Pads

Polyurethane-Bridge-Bearing-Pads-with-inserts

- Resistant to water and aging, adapting to various outdoor harsh environments.

- Higher vertical load capacity than traditional rubber bridge bearing pads.

- Excellent low temperature resistance for cold region bridge applications.

- Strong bonding with metal plates, no cracking or peeling during use.

- Good damping effect to reduce bridge vibration from traffic and wind.

- Long service life with normal maintenance and operation.

- Smooth surface finish meets strict bridge construction quality standards.

- UV Resistant Polyurethane: Ideal for Outdoor Applications

Case Studies: How Polyurethane Bridge Bearing Pads Solved Client Challenges

- Southeast Asian highway construction client faced the problem of rubber bearing pads failing to withstand heavy traffic load and frequent replacement. We provided custom cast 85A polyurethane bridge bearing pads with a vertical load capacity of 8000kN, which perfectly matched their bridge design parameters. The pads have been in use for 3 years with no quality issues, reducing the client's maintenance cost by 60% and improving the bridge's overall stability.

- A European municipal engineering client needed bearing pads for seismic zone overpass construction, requiring excellent shear resistance and low temperature adaptability. Our cold-type polyurethane bridge bearing pads (-50℃~60℃) with a damping ratio of 15% were customized for them. The pads effectively absorbed seismic forces during a small local earthquake, protecting the bridge structure from damage and winning high recognition from the client.

- A domestic China railway bridge client had the demand for quick delivery of bearing pads for a rush project. Our factory completed the production of 200 sets of custom cast urethane bridge bearing pads in 15 days with OEM service, meeting the client's construction schedule. The pads' precise size and perfect fit with the bridge structure ensured the smooth progress of the railway project.

Selection Guide of Polyurethane Bridge Bearing Pads


- Define design loads: maximum service load, dynamic/live load cycles, and safety factors.

- Specify movement and rotation needs: translation tolerance, shear and angular rotation.

- Choose hardness of polyurethane by load and required deflection; request sample tests in lab and field.

- Review published parameters: compression set, creep, Shore, tensile, tear and fatigue tests.

- Confirm mounting: bonded steel backing, bolt-on plates, or plain pad per OEM details.

- Ask for sample pads and run a 30–90 day field validation under real loads.

- Compare suppliers by TCO: price per pad vs expected service life and agent support.

- Ensure after-sales service and spare stocking through local agents for quick replacement.
