Off-the-shelf lead fails under extreme physical and environmental stress. When commodity components crack, shift, or develop internal air pockets, operations face immediate breakdown and costly delays.

Mars Metal manufactures custom-engineered lead solutions for demanding environments. From internal marine ballasts and aerospace counterweights to high-density radiation shielding, specialized lead machining and precision casting ensure exact weight distribution and structural integrity that hold up where standard parts fail.

National shipbuilding demands a secure, high-capacity domestic supply chain capable of meeting stringent defence standards without project delays.

Marswell Metal Industries Ltd. is proud to be featured by Irving Shipbuilding as a key partner in the National Shipbuilding Strategy, supporting the construction of Canada’s River-class destroyers through a multi-million-dollar contract for custom lead casting and precision metal solutions.

When building for the Royal Canadian Navy, materials must be perfect and the supply chain must be secure.

Cory Aitken represented Mars Metal at the CECA Convention last week, talking through standard and custom elevator test weights and test weight carts for project-specific requirements.
Thank you to the Canadian Elevator Contractors Association for such a great event!
A major point of discussion on the floor was the pressure of meeting tight inspection windows. Standard testing setups often fall short of exact machinery designs, causing unnecessary maintenance delays. Our heavy-duty elevator test weight carts are engineered to fit precise equipment dimensions, helping operations managers reduce equipment downtime and protect worker safety during certifications.
Need test weight carts fast? Mars Metal has in-stock carts ready to ship across Canada and the U.S. to ensure you hit your timeline.
