Custom Designed Lead Bridge Counterweights:
Bridge counterweights are commonly installed on drawbridges or bascule bridges to help balance the load of the bridge, and allow the motors to more efficiently open the bridge.
Our lead bridge counterweights are custom designed for each customer. We will work closely with your engineering team to engineer a product that meets your exact project specifications, and keep your bridge operating smoothly.
