Specializing in Large Machine Bases
C.A. Lawton Minster knows how to handle large orders.
We’re talking about 17,000-pound orders, like this recently completed machine base.
Minster was tasked with producing this giant casting, with overall dimensions of 144” x 68” x 66”.
The total weight of this machine base was 17,200 pounds.
And this wasn’t just a block of iron - it was very complex and required extreme attention to detail during the molding process. The cores for this casting had to be carefully assembled to make sure all of the details were met.
You can see the sheer size of this casting when some of our workers were standing next to it.
