Heavy-duty counterweights for wheel loaders, built as a welded steel box filled with compacted steel grit and iron blocks.
A welded steel box filled with compacted steel grit and iron blocks reaches the weight you specify without a pattern or a casting. Every unit is weighed and dimensionally inspected before shipment.
| Application | Wheel loaders — rear-mounted counterweight, built to the loader manufacturer's drawing or your own design |
|---|---|
| Material | Q355B (S355JR) Steel Plate — welded box construction, filled with compacted steel grit and iron blocks |
| Weight Range | 1,000 kg – 20,000 kg (2,200 – 44,000 lbs) |
| Unit Size | Agreed per project. Transport sets the practical limit on very large units, so we design to the envelope you need — give us the destination and we confirm crated dimensions and weight with the quotation. |
| Weight Tolerance | ±1% of specified weight |
| Manufacturing | CNC laser cutting → press brake forming → MIG welding → steel grit and iron block filling → machining → surface finishing |
| Surface Treatment | Shot blasting + anti-rust primer + high-durability enamel paint |
| Mounting Type | Bolt-on with reinforced mounting bosses; lifting points and access features integrated per drawing |
| Standards | ISO 9001:2015, material cert per GB/T 1591 Q355B (S355JR) |
| Packaging | Heavy-duty wooden crate with VCI rust protection |
| MOQ | 1 unit (sample), 5+ units (production batch) |
| Lead Time | 45 days depending on quantity and customization |
| Customization | OEM/ODM: custom weight, dimensions, color, logo, mounting pattern and integrated features |
The rear counterweight keeps a wheel loader stable when the bucket is full and the load is at reach. We build it as a welded steel box filled with compacted steel grit and iron blocks — the specified weight is reached through the fill, so your mounting geometry stays exactly as drawn.
Send us your drawing, a 3D model or a physical sample and our engineers will return a welded-fabrication proposal within 24 hours. Tell us the destination as well — a very large counterweight can be built but not necessarily shipped, so we agree the unit size against the transport you have arranged before cutting starts. Full detail on welded composite counterweights.
If you currently buy this counterweight as a casting, we can re-engineer it as a welded fabrication — no tooling, no minimum batch, no pattern lead time.
The box is filled with compacted steel grit and iron blocks, and every unit is weighed before the cover plate is welded on. Send us your existing casting drawing or a sample and our engineers will return a welded-fabrication proposal within 24 hours.
The more detail you share, the faster and more accurate your quotation will be. Not sure about something? Just email us what you have.
No drawings? Send us photos or the loader brand & model — our engineers will work from that and send a technical review within 24 hours.
We build counterweights for wheel loaders as well as forklifts, tow tractors, reach stackers and aerial work platforms. The construction is the same welded steel box filled with compacted steel grit and iron blocks. Send us your drawing or an existing part and we will confirm we can build it.
A welded box filled with compacted steel grit and iron blocks reaches the exact specified weight at a lower material cost than a solid casting, and it needs no pattern. It also lets us adjust the weight by changing the fill rather than the outer envelope, so your mounting geometry stays as drawn.
Every unit is weighed before the cover plate is welded on, and the finished counterweight is verified against the specified weight. Standard tolerance is ±1% of the specified figure.
Unit size is agreed per project. Very large counterweights are limited by what can be transported, so we build to the envelope you need — tell us the destination port and we will confirm the crated dimensions and weight with the quotation before cutting starts.
Yes. Mounting bosses, bolt patterns, lifting points, step and access features and any clearances are welded and machined into the counterweight to your drawing or the loader model.
Standard finish is shot blasting + anti-rust primer + high-durability enamel paint. Custom RAL colors and logos are available on request.
Yes, and it is one of our most common engineering requests. Send us the existing casting drawing or a physical sample and we will re-engineer it as a welded box filled with compacted steel grit and iron blocks. You avoid pattern tooling entirely, MOQ drops to 1 unit, and design changes are handled by re-issuing the drawing rather than cutting a new pattern.
