Our range of products for the material handling segment includes parts and sub-assemblies made from castings, forging, and sheet metal fabrications.
Our range of solutions for this segment includes a wide range of parts and assemblies of various materials such as grey iron, ductile iron, carbon and alloy steels, aluminium, brass, zinc etc., using manufacturing processes as sand casting, die casting, hot forgoing, cold forging, sintering, precision machining, laser cutting etc.
We offer custom-made solutions to construction equipment, earth moving machinery, mining industries.
We have been supplying engine components such as pistons, camshafts, conrods, crankshafts, cylinder heads, engine bearings, engine valves, tappets etc., to discerning customers in several countries around the world.
Before talking with Equatorial, we used a cold-forged steel slug, because of cost considerations, to make our high precision components. The limitations of a cold-forged slug subsequently caused assembly and quality issues that were our headache. Equatorial replaced cold-heading by making a machined-from-bar-stock part, without increasing costs, that eliminated assembly and quality issues. This was highly beneficial for us.
Because of Equatorial, we could get parts in small quantity without paying a big premium. It improved our cashflow.
Equatorial developed and supplied heat-treated and finish-ground pins and bushes for us for which we had to deal with several suppliers. This saved costs for us.
Our company was the first in our country to import truck parts from India because of Equatorial. We were able to expand our business because of the efforts Equatorial made to develop parts for our market.
We could source small and medium volume diesel engine components for our market from Equatorial that were difficult to obtain from other suppliers, to reduce our inventory costs substantially.
We were greatly helped by Equatorial in value-engineering our manufacturing activity, retaining the financially viable processes in Canada and moving others to India, without compromising quality and delivery.
Equatorial not only successfully developed hardenable iron castings for automotive valve train that were commercially produced by only one American foundry, but also brought synergy driven savings by offering a machined and heat-treated products of highest quality standards.
