Introduction

Right weighting your machines for optimal performance, efficiency and sustainability

What’s your challenge? Today’s construction and handling equipment manufacturers are facing some exciting opportunities.

Whether you're making earthmoving and road building machinery, mining equipment, cranes or forklift trucks, you'll have an ongoing focus on:

Making your machines and production processes more sustainable
Improving the efficiency of your machines and production processes
Optimizing payloads – to help your customers beat the competition
'Right' weighting - high-strength steels combined with intelligent design offer significant opportunities to reduce weight in the right places in your vehicle.

Bringing you benefits

For any production challenges our team understands your technical needs and processing requirements. We offer decades of experience and continue to use our wide knowledge base and expertise to develop products and services to meet those needs
For continuous production, we offer reliable delivery and a pro-active customer service team to plan your next on time delivery

These ingredients give you the opportunity to optimize your operations, strengthen your customer base, expand your product range, target new and demanding end user applications – and grow your business.

Wear resistant solutions

Made to last

During construction, road building and mining activities your machines need to operate at a constant pace transporting the largest possible loads, getting the work done on time.

To optimize your machines, choosing wear resistant steel means your machines last longer and weight is reduced compared to using regular high-strength steel material.

For wear parts and aftermarket spare parts our Valast wear resistant steel (Valast^® 450) offers the lifetime wear protection needed for your machines. Valast is available up to 81 inch wide ensuring efficient nesting and laser cutting of your parts. Valast's high surface quality helps to create the premium look and appearance of your vehicle in the showroom.

For parts that need shaping and heat treatment steps before getting their wear properties we offer a range of boron manganese products too.

Structures and frames

Strong and resilient machines

For chassis and structural parts in construction, mining, and road building machinery choosing high-strength steels helps to right weight and uphold machine performance.

Right weighting means taking out weight and improving fuel efficiency where possible, without compromising on equipment performance. Our engineers provide advice on how to achieve this by choosing the needed steel material (grade, strength, thickness) in the right location, using the right adhesion or forming processes, for the optimal functionality.

Next to excellent laser cutting and welding properties, our Ympress sheet products are available up to 80 inch / 2050 mm width and 1 inch / 25 mm gauge. Ympress products have excellent performance under cold conditions, ensuring the toughest parts of your machines withhold the challenges, even under extreme conditions.

Ultra high strength for cranes

Reaching for great heights

For equipment designed for heavy lifting we offer our high-strength Ympress steels.

Using ultra high-strength steel allows cranes, scissor lifts, and telehandlers to achieve a spectacular reach and lift heavy payloads.
