Heavy machinery

Manufacturers of heavy machinery face increasing pressure to improve productivity, durability and energy efficiency while reducing operating costs and meeting sustainability requirements. SIJ supports these goals with steel solutions for structural components, wear parts and electric drive systems. From high-strength and wear-resistant structural parts to electric motors, our steel helps manufacturers build equipment that performs reliably in demanding operating conditions.

SIMAXX logo

Equipment manufacturers continuously seek ways to increase load capacity and improve fuel efficiency without compromising durability.

SIMAXX high-strength steel enables lighter and stronger structures by allowing designers to reduce material thickness while maintaining structural integrity. The result is increased payload capacity and reduced energy consumption.

Typical Applications

  • Cranes

  • Lifting equipment

  • Excavator booms

  • Load-bearing structures

  • Transportation equipment

Why SIMAXX?

  • High strength-to-weight ratio

  • High impact toughness even at low operating temperatures

  • Low deformation levels

  • Excellent bending, welding and cutting properties

Better performance at lower thickness

SIDUR logo

Wear is one of the primary causes of downtime and maintenance costs in heavy machinery.

SIDUR wear-resistant steel is designed for applications exposed to abrasion, impact and harsh operating conditions. Its high hardness and wear resistance help extend component lifetime, reduce maintenance intervals and lower total operating costs.

Typical applications

  • Buckets

  • Excavator attachments

  • Crushers

  • Conveyors

  • Dump truck bodies

  • Mining and agriculture equipment

Why SIDUR?

  • High strength-to-weight ratio

  • High impact toughness even at low operating temperatures

  • Low deformation levels

  • Excellent bending, welding and cutting properties

Reach your sustainability targets

All SIJ Group steel is produced from recycled steel scrap in electric arc furnaces (EAF), without the use of iron ore. This results in a high recycled content and significantly lower CO₂ emissions compared to conventional blast furnace production routes.

By choosing SIJ steel, manufacturers can support their Scope 3 emissions reduction goals while maintaining the performance and quality.

Green² Steel

For customers with ambitious decarbonisation targets, Green² steel is produced using renewable electricity sources and delivers an additional 20–40% reduction in CO₂ emissions.

We are also developing an EPD library to provide verified sustainability data and support customer reporting requirements.
