Since many years, Van Leeuwen has built up a wealth of knowledge and expertise in pipe, tube and bar steel products for the Construction equipment industry. We have been successful by working for and with the automotive industry. The Construction equipment industry, sometimes referred as yellow goods or off-highway, is the industry that manufactures all possible kinds of construction machinery. There are roughly five segments of industry; Crushing and screening (for the mining industry), Tower cranes, Concrete industry, Road equipment and Earthmoving equipment.
The OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) companies highly rely on high quality materials, because the machines are tested to the limit. We understand those wishes and can supply base material for construction purposes as well as hydraulic and mechanical purposes.
We supply customers with innovative products or even turn-key solutions and we can be partners in the development process. The flexibility in logistics stands for relying on our own vast network of suppliers and stocks, enabling last-minute deliveries to fulfil variations in our customers’ material demands.
Pipe and tube material for construction equipment is used in a large variety of applications. Some examples are:
- Hydraulic cylinder tubes and bars
- Exhaust tubes
- Shock absorbers
- Tube and suspension assemblies
- Axles
- Camshafts
- Linefeed pipes
- Frames
- Air-conditioning tubing
- Drive shafts
- Steering shafts
- Chassis components
