At Bedford Technology, one of our new year’s resolutions is to create better experiences for our customers and prospects by providing exceptional service.
This blog covers a phrase that has been growing strength internally within our company and is now being extended to the general public…that being Why Not? – Plastic Lumber. We have been asking ourselves for many years…why not use plastic lumber in certain applications. This grew last year into an internal marketing campaign where we asked our employees to submit their ideas and photos for a contest. Out of this campaign came some interesting ideas including: beds, stair steps, cattle troughs, shelving, rolling carts, etc. Enough good ideas were introduced, that we said why not? – expand this out to the public.
There really is no limit to the possibilities of using Bedford Technology’s recycled HDPE plastic lumber (in most applications) to replace wood or other alternative materials in the market. In many cases, we have superior products, which include SELECTFORCE®, FIBERFORCE® and BARFORCE® Plastic Lumber that looks great and is long lasting and resistant to: rotting, splintering, water damage, termites (pests), etc. Our recycled plastic lumber also doesn’t require painting and is very low maintenance (compared with traditional wood.) Bedford Technology’s Hard Tool product is a high quality, carpenter friendly product that can be drilled, sawn, cut, routed and worked just as wood lumber and comes in a variety of colors, making it more useful in commercial playground equipment, park and recreation applications, signage, boardwalks, decks, piers, parking curbs, landscaping boards and any harsh weather environment applications. With all this information, we ask the question again…Why Not use Plastic lumber?
Bedford Technology’s SELECTFORCE®, FIBERFORCE® and BARFORCE® recycled HDPE plastic lumber serves as a replacement to traditional parts made from injection molding, rotational molding, vacuum forming, aluminum extrusion, lumber profiles and wood profiles. Bedford Technology can also design a plastic lumber product to suit your specific application, including custom molded products (ie: pipe supports, bench frame shapes, lids).

Bedford Technology has the capability to create custom molded parts and this blog will offer more explanation and information about this exciting process. Our custom molding process can produce thick, non-rectangular (custom) parts, when coupled to molds similar to typical injection molds. Thick wall parts mean a heavier weight which makes them more stable and easier to fasten and connect to. The custom molding process allows for: relatively low cost tooling, moderate piece part cost and a low to moderate volume product. Bedford Technology prides ourselves on our ability to design custom shapes or profiles, by utilizing our proprietary engineered technology. Whether it is a new design or secondary work, our skilled sales and engineering team are here to serve you. Work with us to solve your specific need. The only limitation is the limits of our collective imaginations.
The process for deciding on a custom molded part include first looking at the scope of the project. Evaluating its end potential and the need or benefit of designing a custom molded part. Secondly, we look at whether this is a one-time purchase or will it be an ongoing residual order of product. The cost will be affected and determined primarily off of this key component. Thirdly, we evaluate detailed engineering specifications or drawings. Before beginning to produce any piece we evaluate all angles and possibilities before making molds or prototypes.
Bedford Technology has produced a variety of custom molded parts in the past including: hexagonal molds, “C” frames, “T” frames, roofing boards, bollards, wedges, bike curbs, speed bumps, parking curbs, bench ends, round lids, square lids, as well as many others. We have the tooling, engineering department and knowledge, and the capability to produce any size, shape or design (some limitations do apply – contact a sales representative for more information or details.)

The parks and recreation industry calls for strong, durable plastic lumber products that will last and take a beating, but be easy to clean.
