Marcar is the UK representative for Hoesch Schwerter Extruded Profile GmbH, who have been designing and producing special profiles for the warehouse and logistics markets for decades.
Hot extrusion is a production process employed for the forming of special profiles with a constant longitudinal cross-section. The process can be employed to manufacture solid or hollow profiled bars with complex geometries and a fixed cross-section, in one single step.
Our hot extrusion technology enables us to offer profiles capable of withstanding extreme loads, for durable joints and lifting tools for heavy loads, offering good visibility and stability – as well as many specific requirements of the industrial truck sector, including stainless steel grade fork truck mast channels but are also suitable for any other equipment where linear motion is required such as lifting, high-storage and shelving systems.
Product benefits:
•Best shape properties and fitting accuracy through adherence to tight tolerances.
•Different material thickness within one profile cross-section, thus allowing specific reinforcement of highly stressed profile segments
•Seamless structure of solid or hollow sections
•The multitude of possible cross-sections often allows the functions of adjacent components to be fulfilled with a single special profile
Manufacturing process benefits:
•Hot extrusion can be used to make complex profile shapes even with metals which are difficult to form
•Costly processes, such as welding, straightening, grinding, milling or turning can be eliminated
•Machining can be minimised, weight saved and bottlenecks in machining capacity avoided
•Expansion of the product range in combination with complementary technologies like laser welding
