Carlisle ... the longest lasting brake linings

Carlisle created the long-life category with its introduction of CF 2000. A whole new type of friction, CF2000 uses a transfer layer of non-abrasive particles which smear onto the face of the drum. The result? The industry’s longest lasting brake lining. Period.

Our flagship family of premium brake linings is Milestone. These technologically advanced friction materials have been designed to address a wide range of heavy duty hauling, from general over-the-road to the most severe duty applications. And of course, they’re all the longest lasting linings in their class.

WT56

Carlisle's OE approved transit material has been released in several new FMSI numbers for transit as well as new vocational applications. WT56 is designed to handle multiple stop and heavy load braking found in transit, refuse, concrete, logging, sand & gravel and beverage transport operations. The quiet nature of WT56 makes this lining an excellent choice for noise sensitive applications.

EC20 & EC23

In order to meet the needs of the entire marketplace, Carlisle introduced its EC series of economy grade materials designed for extremely price sensitive buyers. These two linings meet F.M.V.S.S. #121 testing standards and guess what? They outperform everybody else’s economy grade linings
