The excavator counterweight is a heavy weight that is placed at the rear of the machine to maintain the balance and stability of the excavator when it is performing digging or lifting work.

Excavators are heavy machines that can have long arms and large buckets that can lift large amounts of material. Its counterweight is designed to counteract the weight of these loads and prevent the excavator from tipping or tipping over.

At FMGC, we accompany our customers from the design phase to the custom finishing of their excavator counterweight. We guarantee a reliable, robust product with high standards in terms of machining and painting.

  • Shape: Excavator counterweights are generally wide and rectangular in shape. They are designed to fit the shape of the back of the excavator and to minimise interference with other equipment components.
  • Weight: This product can weigh several tons. The specific weight depends on the size and model of the excavator for which they are designed.
  • Material: Cast iron is a common material used in the manufacture of excavator counterweights as it is strong, durable and has a high density.
  • Attachment: Excavator counterweights are attached to the rear of the excavator with bolts and mounting plates. The attachment points are designed to support the weight of the counterweight and to provide a strong and stable connection between the counterweight and the excavator.
  • Custom Design: This product can be designed to fit specific excavator models. At FMGC, we customize the size, shape and weight of the counterweight to meet the specific needs of each excavator model.
