Casting counterweight
can be produced
With the current demand for safety in hydraulic excavator, a type of construction machinery, small rear swing and ultra-small rear swing types are becoming the mainstream among all manufacturers.
Our counterweights not only have the original function of effectively balancing the weight in a limited space, but some parts also serve as an engine cover.
What's more, they harmonize with the design lines of the entire machine, contributing to its aesthetic appearance.
CTWT without machining
We can handle a wide range of weights from 40kg/1pc to 12t/1pc, and can flexibly handle thin and complex shapes.
We achieve quality and precision close to that of fabrication products without processing, and are especially highly regarded for their dimensions and precision.
At the prototype stage, we use a 3D layout machine to measure and reliably confirm the required dimensions. This allows us to provide high-precision products that meet our customers' expectations.
Our products are also environmentally friendly. Taking advantage of the characteristics of casting, we can remelt and recycle used construction equipment weights. This contributes to the effective use of resources and the reduction of environmental impact.

Casting process
01 Molding
The wooden and metal molds are combined to create a sand mold into which the molten iron is poured.
02 Melting
The iron is heated to 1,400°C in an electric furnace and melted.
03 Pouring
Molten iron is poured into the sand mold created in the molding process.

Unlocking the frame
- Shot blasting
Once the poured iron has hardened, it is removed from the sand mold and allowed to cool.
After that, the sand adhering to the product is removed using a device called a shot blaster.
05 Putty & Sanding
The product surface is made smooth by polishing it using tools such as grinders and orbital sanders.
06 Painting
We paint the product in the color specified by the customer.
Painting includes undercoating for rust prevention purposes,
and topcoating to improve the product's appearance.
07 Appearance inspection
Before shipping, the product is visually inspected to ensure quality.
