Precision Aluminum Castings for Demanding Heavy Equipment Applications
Heavy equipment manufacturers demand components that can withstand high loads, harsh weather, abrasive environments, and non-stop operation. That’s why more OEMs are specifying aluminum castings as a reliable alternative to steel and iron. Lightweight yet strong, aluminum offers the perfect balance of performance and efficiency—making it an ideal solution for frames, housings, brackets, and more.
Benefits of Aluminum Castings in Heavy Equipment:
- High strength-to-weight ratio: Ideal for reducing machine weight without sacrificing durability
- Corrosion resistance: Performs well in outdoor, abrasive, and chemical-exposure applications
- Thermal conductivity: Excellent heat dissipation properties
- Machinability: Easy to finish, assemble, and integrate into complex systems
Common Components We Cast:
- Air moving manifolds and elbows
- Transmission and drivetrain components
- Gear housings
- Suspension and chassis components
- Engine brackets and mounting systems
- Hydraulic pump housings
- Electric motor enclosures
Our aluminum foundry can accommodate cast components in a wide variety of sizes, supporting both low-volume and high-volume production needs. Whether you’re designing for dozers, graders, wheel loaders, dump trucks, or other heavy equipment, Alcast delivers precision aluminum castings that meet or exceed your engineering specifications.
