UNSPSC 41114510: Torque limiter

UNSPSC 41114510 Torque limiter is a Commodity code capturing brake systems, clamping mechanisms, and related holding devices procured by state and local jurisdictions for industrial and transportation infrastructure. State and local governments buy torque limiters and brake systems primarily for port operations, container crane safety systems, and related heavy equipment—work that centers on secure holding under load, emergency stopping, and prevention of unintended equipment movement. The issuing bodies tracked under this code include county port authorities and special-purpose district agencies; Broward County's Port Everglades represents the primary recent buyer, procuring Bubenzer brake and rail clamp systems for container gantry crane operations.

Broward County, Florida dominates recent activity under this code. In June 2026, Broward County issued RFI BLD6232026F12 (due July 1, 2026) to contest a proposed sole-source designation for Dellner Bubenzer USA Inc.'s brake and rail clamp systems at Port Everglades, inviting prospective vendors to demonstrate comparable capability or challenge the sole-source determination. The RFI covers supply, installation, upgrades, repairs, service, and maintenance of brake systems and storm rail clamps across all container gantry cranes, with systems required to provide secure holding under all operating conditions, function as emergency stopping mechanisms, and prevent unintended crane movement. The remaining recent opportunities in the block—DeKalb County's tennis center reconstruction, Atlanta BeltLine's trail corridor development information session, and Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment cooperative—do not align with torque limiter procurement and reflect potential code-classification drift in the source data.
