You should implement blankets that align with your asset fire prevention plan. For example, you could specify coverings for Liebherr trucks’ turbos, manifolds, and engine pipes. Additionally to protecting brand-new assets, Aletek blankets can also be used to replace old lagging and for engine rebuild projects.
Turbo & junction blankets
You can reduce surface temperatures below combustion thresholds by lagging hot parts such as turbos and junctions. A fuel leak can result in a fire if turbos aren’t protected with blankets. Our spring system makes blankets easy to attach and take off.
Manifold blankets
A manifold generates a significant amount of heat. Aletek blankets cool surfaces below the temperatures at which fuel combustion occurs. For lagging to be effective, it must provide sufficient coverage with a snug fit.
Exhaust pipe blankets
Add thermal blankets to engine pipes to protect them from fire hazards. If you have grease pumps nearby, you may consider adding blankets to your exhaust pipes. Due to their fish scale design, fluids and contaminants can run off Aletek blankets.
Muffler & tailpipe blankets
If mufflers cause radiant heat issues that affect surrounding parts, consider adding thermal lagging. Minimise fire risks by shielding Liebherr exhaust parts from potential fire hazards. To eliminate hotspots, Aletek muffler and tailpipe blankets have sewn collars from the engine pipe to the mufflers.
Excavators
To defend your Liebherr excavators from fire, add blankets to your engine pipes and hot parts like turbos. We create class-leading fire mitigation solutions by combining our Australian production with acclaimed quality blankets. Various blanket packages are available for excavators from the R 994 up to the legendary R 9800.
Haul Trucks
We offer blanket solutions tailored to Liebherr haul trucks. You can protect your ultra-class T 282 trucks from fire with our lagging solutions. Shield hot parts like manifolds, turbochargers and engine pipes to prevent fire threats like burst fuel lines. Client feedback helps us improve our products.
Other Assets
On request, we can also supply thermal blankets for other Liebherr assets. In particular, we recommend shielding hot parts such as turbos, manifolds, mufflers, and exhaust pipes. Please get in touch with us if you would like more information about our custom blanket options.

The Aletek Advantage
We strive to be the best
An all-encompassing benchmark for quality
Our objective is to create the highest-quality thermal blankets. Every step of the blanket-making process must be precise, from fabric selection to accurate sewing and finishing.
Improved designs through R&D
The properties of our latest thermal blankets have been developed through rigorous R&D. Through our research, we discovered that reducing the coating thickness reduces the burn potential (calorific value). Based on thermal analysis, we adjusted our design to resolve hot spots between adjoining sections.
CNC patterns for precision blankets
Our expert sewing and finishing teams consistently produce high-quality blankets. A CNC machine carries out the production of thermal blanket patterns. We do not know of any other CNC in the southern hemisphere like ours.
Superior design and production process
3D scans and CAD design are the first steps in our product design cycle. We place a high priority on quality and continuity in our product designs. Our production flow relies on uniform templates, lean procedures, and rigorous quality checks.
