Counter Weight (Steel) in Bangladesh

New elevator construction typically does not involve lead counterweights. However, when there is a need to increase the capacity of an existing elevator, installing a new counterweight becomes necessary. Due to restrictions on headroom, there is often limited space to increase the stack height of the counterweight. In such cases, lead proves to be an invaluable solution.

Lead offers a significantly higher density compared to steel, approximately 45% greater. This allows the upgrading company to replace the existing steel or cast iron weights with lead counterweights, achieving the required weight to counterbalance the increased capacity. With each weight removed, a 45% heavier lead weight is installed, simplifying the process into a straightforward mathematical equation. Often, lead is the sole substitute capable of fulfilling this requirement effectively.

In addition to lead counterweights, Mars Metal manufactures steel counterweights tailored to the specific size and shape preferences of clients. Our offerings include custom sizes as well as standard OEM weights, available in any quantity. Utilizing production cut steel plates sourced from Cobble, Secondary Plate, and Coil, we ensure the lowest costs without compromising on quality.

The Steel Counter Weight represents an integral element within elevator systems, meticulously engineered to facilitate safe and efficient vertical transportation. Crafted from robust steel materials, this specific counterweight serves as a crucial component, effectively balancing the weight of the elevator car, passengers, and cargo.

Installed within the elevator shaft, the steel counterweight is strategically calibrated to counterbalance the car's weight, ensuring smoother and more controlled movement. Its construction from steel, renowned for its strength and durability, enables it to withstand substantial loads while maintaining stability and reliability.

Precision engineering allows for accurate adjustment and alignment of these steel counterweights, guaranteeing optimal balance to minimize strain on the elevator motor and facilitate energy-efficient operations.

Apart from its role in balancing the elevator system, the steel counterweight acts as a vital safety measure. By stabilizing weight distribution, it prevents overloading and assists in regulating the speed of the elevator car, contributing significantly to passenger safety.

Expertly installed and calibrated to meet stringent safety standards, steel counterweights undergo rigorous testing to ensure their reliability and adherence to industry regulations. Their pivotal role in enhancing elevator performance and safety makes steel counterweights an indispensable component in providing passengers with a secure and smooth vertical transportation experience.
