Aluminum Castings for Agriculture & Off-Highway Equipment
Aluminum Castings Built for Demanding Equipment
Agricultural and off-highway equipment operates in demanding environments where equipment reliability matters.
Cast Metals Technology provides aluminum sand casting and machining capabilities for manufacturers of agricultural and off-highway machinery.
Potential Applications
Equipment housings
Gear housings
Covers
Brackets
Hydraulic-related housings
Pump components
Motor housings
Control housings
Structural components
Equipment enclosures
Reduce Weight Without Sacrificing Design Flexibility
Aluminum can provide significant weight savings compared with many ferrous materials. Sand casting allows engineers to create complex shapes, ribs, mounting features and internal geometry while maintaining considerable freedom in component design.
Long-Running Equipment Programs
Agricultural and off-highway equipment can remain in production for many years, making continuity of supply particularly important. When an existing foundry closes, changes strategy or no longer provides the required service, CMT can evaluate existing patterns, core boxes and other tooling for transfer.

Machined Aluminum Components
CMT can support both casting and machining requirements, helping OEMs reduce supply-chain complexity.
