High Yield Strength Steel
Quend® product line refers to high yield strength steels developed for low weight applications which require high carrying capacity such as lifting or transportation. It reduces the weight of lifting equipment or of applications whose structure has to withstand high loads. Its main applications are in boom sections for truck cranes, chassis, outriggers, grapples, desk structures, etc.
-
Sectors where Quend® is used:
- Lifting
- Handling
- Transport
