Mars Metal Attends the 52nd Annual CECA Convention

Mars Metal is attending the 52nd Annual CECA Convention in Victoria, BC, from June 15 to 18, 2026. The annual event brings elevator contractors, suppliers, and industry professionals together for exhibits, education, and supplier conversations focused on the elevator sector.

Cory Aitken will be attending for Mars Metal in Booth #54, and will be available to discuss custom lead counterweights, elevator test weight carts, and project-specific lead fabrication requirements with contractors and suppliers at the convention.

What Solutions Does Mars Metal Provide Elevator Contractors?

At CECA, Mars Metal is connecting with elevator contractors and service teams that need lead products built around tight spaces, exact fit requirements, and certification and maintenance schedules that cannot stall. For elevator applications, that means supplying dense, durable lead components that help contractors solve space and weight challenges without overcomplicating the job. Mars Metal is ISO 9001:2015 certified, supporting consistent fabrication quality for lead products built to specification.

Our main solutions for the elevator industry include:

  • Elevator Counterweights
  • Test Weights & Test Weight Carts
  • Custom Steel and Lead Options

Why Use Stackable Lead Counterweights for Capacity Upgrades?

When an existing elevator needs increased capacity, there is not always enough headroom to add taller steel or cast iron counterweights. Lead helps solve that problem because it is approximately 45% denser than steel, allowing contractors to replace existing weights with heavier lead counterweights in the same available stack height. Mars Metal fabricates custom lead counterweights to the required size and weight, allowing contractors to meet capacity requirements when space is limited.

Are Your Elevator Test Weight Carts Ready to Ship?

Mars Metal also supports elevator certification work with in-stock test weights and test weight carts ready to ship within 48 hours across Canada and the U.S. Each cart is built for daily use in tight elevator cars, service rooms, and transport between job sites.

  • 100 elevator test carts in stock
  • 500 lb total weight
  • Eight 50 lb hand weights plus a 100 lb cart
  • 1/4″ thick steel box frame
  • Solid rubber tires with roller bearings and grease fittings
  • Locking bar to help secure the hand weights on site
