The material handling equipment eases the transportation of materials with different size, shape and weight. Forklifts are the most common machines, used to lift, lower and move heavy loads. Counterweights should be added to the body configuration to prevent the machine of tipping over and guarantee its safe performance.
Due to forklift's relatively compact dimension, counterweights need to have optimal space utilization while still providing the necessary counterbalancing weight. This aspect can only be achieved by using dense materials such as cast iron. Also in terms of production cost, fragility and protection cast laminar iron counterweights are considered the best solution.
FMGC, a subsidiary of Farinia Group, is specialized in the manufacturing of a wide range of counterweights for different industries.
