Solutions in storage and logistics

Counterweights are indispensable for many machines and systems, and mass comes at a price. It’s not just the material itself that incurs costs; there is also significant potential for savings, particularly when it comes to transportation. To remain competitive, we have a subsidiary in Romania where our basic steel structural components are manufactured. Since these components are not filled, transportation costs for them are low. It is only at our facility in Germany that the components are filled using a special process with our heavy-duty concrete filling system and then assembled.

To save on transportation costs, we do not deliver our counterweights to our customers for installation testing; instead, we build a fixture specifically tailored to the individual end machine to simulate installation on the end machine. This process allows us to ensure safe installation, and the counterweight can be shipped directly to the final assembly location without any detours. This saves enormous logistics costs and makes our service attractive even to customers in other countries.
