Product Overview: Loader Hook Counterweight Block
Our Loader Hook Counterweight Block is a core cast iron component designed to balance the weight of loader hooks, ensuring safe and efficient operation of heavy machinery. Crafted through advanced casting and machining processes, the product features precise dimensions, excellent structural integrity, and resistance to wear and corrosion. It is widely applied in wheel loaders, track loaders, and other heavy-duty equipment, effectively enhancing the stability and operational safety of the machinery during lifting and loading tasks.
Advanced Production Processes
We adopt a scientific and standardized production workflow to ensure the quality of each cast iron component, with the main processes for Loader Hook Counterweight Block including:
1. Raw Material Selection: Strictly screen high-quality cast iron materials (such as HT200, HT250, QT450-10) with professional material testing equipment to ensure material purity and mechanical properties.
2. Mold Making: Utilize precision mold design and manufacturing technology, combining CAD/CAM software for mold simulation and optimization, to ensure mold accuracy and repeatability.
3. Casting Process: Adopt sand casting (resin sand, green sand) as the main casting method, with optional investment casting for high-precision small-batch products. The casting process is controlled by intelligent temperature and humidity monitoring systems to avoid defects such as porosity and shrinkage.
4. Machining: Equipped with advanced CNC machining centers, lathes, and milling machines for precision machining, ensuring the product meets the required dimensional accuracy.
5. Surface Treatment: Provide multiple surface treatment options to enhance corrosion resistance and appearance, including shot blasting, painting, galvanizing, and phosphating.
6. Quality Inspection: Conduct comprehensive inspections throughout the production process, including dimensional inspection (using CMM), material performance testing, and surface defect detection, to ensure each product meets international quality standards.
In addition to the above core processes, we also master other advanced technologies such as centrifugal casting and die casting, which can be customized according to customer needs for different types of cast iron and non-ferrous metal components.

Up to now, we have maintained a long-term cooperative relationship with the customer, with an annual order volume of 2,000+ pieces.
Common Cast Iron Processing Problems & Solutions
Common Problems | Causes | Solutions |
Porosity in castings | Moisture in molding sand, insufficient degassing during casting | Control the moisture content of molding sand (≤2.5%), add degassing agents during casting, and use vacuum casting technology for high-precision products |
Dimensional deviation | Mold deformation, uneven cooling during casting | Optimize mold material and structure, adopt gradient cooling technology, and conduct dimensional inspection during machining |
Poor surface finish | Impurities in molding sand, improper shot blasting parameters | Use high-purity molding sand, adjust shot blasting pressure and time, and add a grinding process for key products |
Corrosion after use | Inappropriate surface treatment, harsh use environment | Recommend suitable surface treatment options according to the use environment, such as hot-dip galvanizing for humid environments, and enhance the thickness of the coating |
