Cast Iron Counterweights

Precision. Durability. Balance.

Cast iron counterweights are critical components in a wide range of industrial and commercial machinery. Designed to provide balance and stability, they counteract load forces to ensure smooth, safe, and energy-efficient operations.

Function

Counterweights reduce the energy required to lift, tilt, or stabilize loads by distributing weight effectively. This improves mechanical efficiency, enhances safety, and reduces strain on critical equipment components.

DiFoZ supplies counterweights using high-grade cast irons, offering both strength and adaptability:

  • Grey Cast Iron (GG20 / EN-GJL-200): High compressive strength, excellent damping capacity.
  • Ductile Iron (GGG50 / EN-GJS-500-7): Superior tensile strength, durability, and impact resistance.

Both materials deliver high density, enabling compact yet heavy counterweights without increasing footprint.

Our counterweights are engineered for use in:

  • Elevators & Lifts
  • Cranes & Hoists
  • Forklifts & Material Handling Equipment
  • Agricultural Tractors & Construction Machinery
  • Marine and Offshore Applications
  • High Density: Allows smaller, more compact designs compared to concrete or composites.
  • Durability: Resistant to wear, stress, and fatigue for long service life.
  • Customizable Machining: Can be cast into diverse shapes and sizes, tailored to OEM specifications.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Available with primers, paints, or protective coatings.
  • Sustainability: 100% recyclable, reducing environmental impact.
  • Shapes: Hexagonal, rectangular, block, and suitcase styles.
  • Weights: [Specify weight ranges, e.g., 10 kg – 5,000 kg].
  • Surface Finishes: Anti-corrosion primer, powder coating, or customized paint systems.
  • Machining: Drilling, boring, and precision finishing to meet application requirements.
  • Packaging: Palletized, customized crates, or protective wrapping for safe global transport.
  • Europe: EN standards for material grades, CE marking (where required), REACH-compliant coatings.
  • USA: ASTM standards, OSHA safety compliance, and alignment with ISO 9001 manufacturing quality processes.
  • Sustainability: Cast iron components are manufactured using recyclable inputs and sustainable foundry practices.
  • Decades of foundry and engineering experience.
  • Proven supplier to elevator OEMs, construction equipment manufacturers, and material handling companies across Europe, USA, and Asia.
  • Ability to deliver both high-volume production and customized batches.
