Lead plates can be used to stabilise fork-lifters, or to provide the required counterweight in elevator construction. In the production of rotor blades for wind power plants, numerous tiny compensating weights made of lead ensure correct balancing. For centuries, lead has been a successful ballast keel in ship construction. The softness of the material in comparison to steel or concrete means that collisions with flotsam or other causes of impact are damped.
According to drawing
SCHNEIDER produces lead weights precisely according to drawing. From a few grams to several tons; from individual pieces to serial production. In chill or die casting; pressed or punched.
Lead balls
Hollow spaces can be filled using lead balls to increase the weight. Lead balls are supplied in various diameters. With a diameter of 2,5 mm, please calculate an apparent density of approx. 7 kg/dm³.
Lead plates
Lead plates are often used as counterweight. SCHNEIDER produces lead plates of up to 100 mm in thickness and up to 1.300 mm in width. The standard thicknesses are 5 mm, 10 mm, 25 mm and 50 mm.
Lead ingots
Lead ingots is the most inexpensive method of producing lead weights. Lead weights in various weights and alloys are included in our range of products.
Lead cast
As additional possibility delivered containers can be casted with lead. Counterweights can be produced according to the customer's requirements.
Triangular ingots
SCHNEIDER produces lead weights as well as triangular ingots. This form can be installed explicitly space-saving.
