“…Custom / OEM Forklift Counterweights made to your Exact Specifications”
Mars Metal designs and manufactures Forklift Counterweights to satisfy your specific requirements. Counterweights are used to secure a proper weight distribution and maintain stability, to prevent the vehicle from tipping over and to ensure the safety performance of the vehicle.
There are two main groups of forklift counterweights;
- Bulk type specifically designed hollow body part at back end or between wheels that for space savings is typically lead filled.
- Stack type: Cast metal housings / steel canisters or metal plates designed to stack onto a base plate. Stacking or removing enables configuration for maximum lift weight.
