Construction Industry Solutions
The construction industry depends on equipment that can take a beating and keep working. From earthmoving machines to cranes and concrete equipment, every component must withstand heavy loads, impact, and constant use in harsh conditions. That’s why construction equipment manufacturers across the continental United States trust Farrar Corporation. With decades of experience in ductile iron casting and machining, we build components that deliver strength, safety, and reliability on the job
site.
Ductile Iron Castings Built for Heavy-Duty Demands
Few industries push equipment as hard as construction. Machines operate long hours in dirt, mud, and extreme weather, often carrying heavy loads or absorbing repeated impact. Failure isn’t just costly, it can be dangerous. Ductile iron is the material that
meets these challenges head-on.
Compared to gray iron, ductile iron provides significantly higher strength and impact resistance. It also offers toughness on par with steel at a more economical cost. For construction applications, ductile iron delivers:
This combination makes ductile iron the preferred material for heavy-duty construction equipment.
Ductile Iron Construction Components We Produce
Farrar supplies a wide range of ductile iron castings and machined parts used in construction equipment, including:
- Differential housings and drivetrain components
- Pump and hydraulic system housings
- Bearing caps, hubs, and brackets
- Gear housings and carriers machining, and finishing
- Structural supports for loaders, excavators, and other heavy equipment
- Custom-engineered parts for specialized construction machinery
Each part is built to endure demanding environments and keep construction equipment moving safely and efficiently.
End-to-End Manufacturing for Construction
Construction OEMs need a dependable supply partner who can deliver rugged, ready- to-install components. Farrar provides that dependability by controlling every step of the process in-house:
- Simulation-driven casting design to eliminate defects before production
- In-house pattern shop, building aluminum tooling with 3D-printed gating systems for precision
- ISO 9001:2015-certified ductile iron foundry ensuring quality and consistency
- CNC machining services for precision, ready-to-use components
- Protective finishing, such as our in-house primer dipping. We also partner with outside vendors to provide powder coating, e-coating, plating, and more for turnkey solutions.
By offering casting, machining, and finishing under one roof, Farrar delivers streamlined supply, shorter lead times, and reliable quality—advantages that construction equipment manufacturers can count on.
Why Construction Companies Choose Farrar
In construction, every hour of downtime costs money, changes schedules, and compromises safety. That’s why equipment manufacturers don’t just look for a casting supplier; they look for a partner who understands the realities of the job site. Farrar delivers more than ductile iron components. We deliver the confidence that machines will keep working under the harshest conditions.
Our long history in ductile iron casting and machining means we know how to design and manufacture parts that endure constant impact, heavy loads, and unpredictable environments. Construction companies choose Farrar because of our solutions:
