Heavy-Duty U-Bolts for Tractors and Farm Implements | Tekay Automotive

In agricultural machinery, every component carries a critical responsibility. One of the most essential—and often overlooked—parts are U-bolts, the fastening elements that secure key structural and functional components of tractors, cultivators, ploughs, seeders, harrows, tillers, and rotavators.

At Tekay, we do more than manufacture U-bolts; we engineer durability, precision, and long-term reliability for real working conditions. Backed by over 70 years of manufacturing expertise, Tekay U-bolts have become the trusted choice for agricultural equipment manufacturers across global markets.


The Role of U-Bolts in Modern Agriculture

Agricultural vehicles operate under harsh and unpredictable conditions—constant vibration, uneven terrain, variable loads, and continuous exposure to moisture and dust. This environment demands fastening solutions that can withstand fatigue, ensure structural stability, and extend equipment lifetime.

Tekay U-Bolts Are Designed to:

  • Deliver high clamping force under dynamic loads

  • Maintain fastening stability despite intense vibrations

  • Withstand corrosion and environmental wear

  • Secure key assemblies such as axle housings, spring suspensions, frame components, and implement mounts

  • Ensure reliable performance across long working hours

Whether used in heavy-duty tractors or light soil-preparation machinery, Tekay U-bolts help maintain the integrity and performance of agricultural vehicles through strong, consistent fastening.


Precision Manufacturing for Maximum Reliability

Every Tekay U-bolt is produced using industry-leading techniques, including cold forming, controlled heat treatment, and strict dimensional quality checks. This ensures:

  • Accurate thread geometry

  • High tensile strength

  • Uniform hardness and microstructure

  • Precise bend radius and symmetry

These characteristics directly translate into longer service life, reduced maintenance, and improved operational safety.


Material & Surface Options for Harsh Conditions

Agricultural equipment often operates in corrosive environments—fertilizer exposure, mud, humidity, and water contact. To maximize lifespan, Tekay offers multiple material and coating options:

  • High-grade carbon steels

  • Alloy steels for high-stress applications

  • Zinc electroplating

  • Dacromet, Geomet, and hot-dip galvanizing

  • Customized coatings on request

This ensures resistance against rust, abrasion, and chemical exposure, even in long seasonal cycles.


Why Manufacturers Choose Tekay

Agricultural machinery producers rely on Tekay U-bolts because they are:

  • Consistent in quality, backed by strict testing and inspections

  • Customizable to any dimension, shape, material, or coating

  • Tested for real operating conditions

  • Supported by fast, reliable delivery and long-term production capability

From OEM manufacturers to global distributors, Tekay remains a preferred supplier for precision fasteners that stand the test of time.


Supporting the Future of Agriculture

Agricultural technology continues to evolve, requiring stronger, more durable components that can support higher loads and more efficient machinery. Tekay is committed to supporting this progress by offering fastening solutions manufactured with advanced techniques and continuous improvement in mind.

Whether for new production, aftermarket support, or specialized equipment, Tekay U-bolts ensure reliability across every field.
