Small Split Bush – Shipping Container Door Bushing

The Small Split Bush is a durable nylon bushing designed for use in shipping container door bearing brackets, specifically the small bearing bracket that guides the vertical lock rod. This essential container door component acts as a sliding bearing, allowing the shipping container door bar to rotate smoothly through the bearing bracket while reducing friction and wear on the metal parts.

Installed inside the small bearing bracket on ISO shipping container doors, the Small Split Bush prevents metal on metal contact between the steel lock rod and the bearing bracket, helping extend the lifespan of the entire container door locking mechanism. Its split design allows the bushing to be installed or replaced quickly without removing the lock rod, making it ideal for container maintenance and field repairs.

Manufactured from high strength black nylon (PA6/PA66), this self lubricating container bush provides excellent resistance to weather, UV exposure, moisture, and salt, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments such as ports, construction sites, and industrial storage facilities.
