Using HT250 cast iron, casting, machining, surface treatment, and inspection processes are completed in-house to control product consistency from raw material preparation to finished components.

Located in Zunhua, China, Shengjian Fanrong operates a 60,000㎡ manufacturing facility with a 30,000㎡ production plant. The company produces precision mechanical components with an annual capacity of 80,000 tons.

Tower Crane Counterweight for Stable Lifting Balance

A tower crane counterweight is installed on the counter-jib section to balance the overturning moment generated by lifted loads.

During crane operation, the counterweight works together with the boom, slewing system, and load mechanism to maintain proper balance.

Shengjian Fanrong manufactures these components using HT250 high-strength cast iron, which offers suitable strength and fatigue resistance for repeated lifting conditions.

Common applications include:

· Building construction projects

· Infrastructure engineering

· Industrial lifting sites

· Wind power installation projects
