Markets Served
Barth Industries can supply precision cast iron and steel machining solutions across diverse industrial sectors, from transportation equipment to heavy machinery and emerging sectors like electric vehicles.
Transportation and Material Handling
Our precision machining expertise serves the backbone of America’s transportation infrastructure. As a tier-one supplier to forklift manufacturers, we produce critical cast iron and steel components that provide rugged durability able to handle demanding industrial environments. From transmission housings to structural brackets, our parts keep material handling equipment operating reliably in warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing facilities nationwide. And transportation and materials handling manufacturers know that our just-in-time delivery capabilities keep your production lines moving.
Heavy Machinery and Equipment
Barth specializes in the type of robust components that power heavy industrial equipment. Our cast iron expertise gives us a competitive advantage in foundry work that other manufacturers avoid. We machine housings, brackets, and structural components out of rugged cast iron, suited for punishing daily work required of construction equipment, industrial machinery and off-road vehicles. Whether it’s mining equipment or heavy-duty construction machinery, our precision machining delivers the durability and reliability required by these demanding applications.
Agricultural Equipment
From combines to tractors, or tillers to grain carts, agricultural equipment demands components that withstand heavy workloads and extreme conditions in any weather. Our precision machining capabilities can support the manufacturers who keep our country’s farms productive. We specialize in transmission components, gear housings and structural parts that must perform reliably season after season. We can scale production to meet middle to heavy volume parts needed to keep agricultural manufacturing operations humming.
Automotive Manufacturing
Barth’s automotive heritage dates back to our founding in 1914, and today we selectively serve automotive manufacturers requiring our specialized cast iron and precision machining capabilities. We focus on swift turnarounds for just-in-time delivery to minimize inventory costs and space, knowing that automotive lines can change over rapidly but never stop running. Our confidentiality protocols and quality systems meet the stringent requirements of automotive OEMs and tier suppliers.
Electric Vehicle Market
As transportation electrifies, Barth is positioned to serve the growing EV market with precision-machined components for electric drivetrains. While propulsion changes, the need for transmission housings, gear reducers, wheel plates and hubs or counterbalances remains critical for performance and balance. Our capabilities in both traditional materials such as cast iron and aluminum make us well-suited for the evolving requirements of electric forklifts or heavy trucks and equipment transitioning from internal combustion engines to alternative power sources.
Mining Equipment
The demanding environments inherent to mining operations require components built to withstand extreme conditions and heavy workloads. Barth’s expertise in machining robust cast iron and steel components positions us to serve manufacturers of mining equipment that need precision-machined housings, brackets and structural components for reliable service and a long lifespan. Our capabilities in handling larger, heavier parts with tight tolerances make us well-suited for the rugged applications found in surface and underground mining operations.
Foundry and Metals Processing
Barth’s specialization in cast iron machining naturally aligns with the foundry industry’s needs. We understand the unique challenges of working with foundry castings and provide the secondary machining operations that transform raw castings into finished components. Our expertise helps foundries and their customers achieve the precision and surface finishes required for critical applications.
