Cast-iron counterweights from the manufacturer: reliable ballast for machinery from \u00abForward Systems\u00bb<\/h2>\n

The efficient and safe operation of modern agricultural, construction and specialist machinery depends directly on correct weight distribution. Ltd \u00abFORWARD SYSTEMS\u00bb<\/strong> \u2014 a modern foundry specialising in the manufacture of high-quality cast iron counterweights. Our foundry provides a full range of services: from engineering design to the mass production of ballast weights based on the customer\u2019s drawings.<\/p>\n

We use tried-and-tested grey cast iron of the grade SC 20<\/strong>, which ensures high metal density, resistance to mechanical damage and precise compliance with the specified weight parameters.<\/p>\n

Product catalogue: cast iron counterweights for tractors and specialist machinery<\/h2>\n

Our company manufactures a wide range of additional weights for balancing axles and improving the traction of machinery:<\/p>\n

1. Front counterweights (ballast weights)<\/h3>\n

These are fitted to the front hitch of the machinery to counterbalance the weight of heavy attachments (ploughs, seed drills) and prevent the machine from tipping over.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 50 kg front counterweight:<\/strong> Nominal weight 50 kg, material: SC 20.<\/li>\n
  • Front counterweight, 100 kg:<\/strong> A specialised lightweight section with an actual casting weight of 18.7 kg, made from SC 20 cast iron.<\/li>\n
  • Front counterweight, 45 kg:<\/strong> A compact ballast plate weighing 45 kg, made of SC 20 cast iron.<\/li>\n
  • Front counterweight, 55 kg:<\/strong> Reinforced front counterweight weighing 55 kg (made of SC 20).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    2. Wheel weights (weights on the wheels)<\/h3>\n

    They are fitted directly onto the wheel rims to lower the centre of gravity, reduce wheel spin and increase the vehicle\u2019s tractive effort.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Wheel counterweight (sectional):<\/strong> It is manufactured from grey cast iron to the customer\u2019s specific technical specifications.<\/li>\n
    • 65 kg wheeled counterweight:<\/strong> A reliable 65 kg disc-type ballast made from SC 20 cast iron.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The advantages of casting counterweights at the \u00abForward Systems\u00bb factory\u00bb<\/h2>\n

      Our approach is based on strict adherence to technical standards and quality control for every cast component:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • High metal density:<\/strong> Castings made from SC 20 cast iron prevent the formation of internal voids and air pockets, ensuring that the product has maximum mass whilst maintaining minimal dimensions.<\/li>\n
      • Precise geometry of the fixings:<\/strong> The machining of grooves and holes on modern CNC machines ensures that equipment can be installed quickly in its designated locations.<\/li>\n
      • Corrosion protection:<\/strong> All counterweights undergo a final coating with high-quality enamels, which protects the metal from moisture, dirt and chemicals.<\/li>\n
      • Custom orders:<\/strong> In addition to our standard models, we are able to design and cast ballast weights to your specific drawings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
