Construction, Mining and Off-Highway
Here at AV Industrial Products, we have a wealth of experience supporting OEM clients within the construction, mining and off-highway manufacturing industries. Applications within these industries are prone to high levels of mechanically induced shock and vibration, which need to be controlled, in order to prolong the life of the equipment and reduce machinery downtime.
We are well positioned to accommodate clients in these industries, having developed specialist parts and extended-life rubber compounds to accommodate the harsh environments seen within the construction, mining and off-highway industries.
All of our customers can expect high level OEM quality, along with the support and expertise of a technical engineering team conversant in the design and application of mining, construction and off-highway equipment.
Take a look at our product range below. Alternatively, if you are looking for our technical expertise, product recommendations or pricing guidelines, contact our team today. We are available to support construction or mining machinery design and production, whatever the scale or size.

- Commercial Vehicles
- Vibratory Rollers & Compaction Equipment
- Crushers & Screens
Our Range of Products Suited to Construction, Mining and Off-Highway
Cab Mounts
Cab mounts are integral to reducing vibration and shock in industrial vehicles, ensuring operator comfort and protecting vehicle components. These mounts are widely used in construction equipment like excavators, backhoe loaders, and dump trucks. By isolating the cabin from vibrations generated by the engine or transit movements, cab mounts not only enhance operator comfort but also reduce fatigue on vehicle structures and hydraulic systems.
Our cab mounts are designed for durability in harsh environments, offering optimal vibration isolation and supporting applications that require Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS) and Falling Object Protective Structures (FOPS). Options include cone mounts, hydro mounts, and rubber bushes, each tailored to specific performance needs. Whether prioritising cost-efficiency or premium operator comfort, we have the right solution for your vehicle.
Cone Mounts
The most common type of Cab Mounts, they are designed to offer a high horizontal stiffness in comparison to their vertical stiffness which provides control of lateral movements whilst allowing flexible movement in the vertical axis to offer good levels of isolation and operator comfort. Using Overload and Rebound washers will provide a failsafe design which is critical for mobile applications. They are particularly suited for applications that required ROPS & FOPS certification (subject to approval).
Hydro Mounts
Interchangeable with Cone Mounts, the Hydro Mounts offer the ultimate performance in terms of operator comfort - a premium experience. In addition to the rubber component, which provides vibration isolation, the product has an integral hydraulic damper which controls and absorbs excessive shock forces created during off-road movement and transit shocks.
In addition, the Hydro mounts incorporate an integral failsafe device suitable for mobile applications and are suitable for ROPS and FOPS certification (subject to approval).
Rubber Bushes & Hydro Bushes
Low cost solution and fully captive. Are also available as Eccentric bushes which are typically used to provide higher levels of vertical deflection and ideal for tilting cabs. Similar to Rubber Bushes, Hydro Bushes offer a built-in hydraulic chamber to absorb transit shocks and bumps and provides improved operator comfort. Suitable for ROPS & FOPS certification (subject to approval).

Engine Mountings
Engine mountings are critical components for reducing vibration and noise transmission in off-road, construction and mining vehicles. They isolate engine vibrations from the chassis and other components, ensuring smoother operation and minimising wear and tear on the machine. Properly selected engine mounts contribute to better operator comfort, enhanced vehicle efficiency and prolonged equipment life.
Designed to withstand harsh conditions, our engine mounts are ideal for diesel engines in off-highway vehicles, construction machinery and heavy-duty trucks. They feature high load-bearing capacity and exceptional durability. From compact construction machines to large-scale mining equipment, our engine mounts are built to provide dependable performance in demanding environments.

Compaction Equipment
In construction and ground maintenance, compacting loose soil, aggregate or asphalt is essential for creating firm foundations capable of supporting heavy loads. This is achieved with compaction machinery such as vibratory rollers, plate compactors and rammers, which rely on oscillating motion to compact surfaces effectively. Rubber mounts are key to enabling this motion, offering flexibility and tuning capabilities for precise compaction performance.
Our compactor mounts are specially designed for high dynamic forces, featuring robust materials and precision engineering. Their ability to withstand intense vibration while minimising stress points ensures long service life and reduced downtime. Additionally, these mounts can isolate vibration in cabins, seats and handles, enhancing operator safety.
With proprietary rubber compounds like HPF™, our mounts can deliver up to five times the durability of standard alternatives, ensuring maximum reliability.
