From the market leader for plastic molded parts

Creating special shapes for the cladding of construction vehicles is often a challenge. In the field of construction vehicles and machinery, plastic parts are needed that harmonize perfectly with the technical and mechanical characteristics of the vehicles. Thermoforming enables the production of complex shapes with precise details that would be difficult to achieve with metal. Plastic components can be manufactured more easily, more cost-effectively, and in customized designs. This opens up new possibilities for ergonomic, aerodynamic, and functional construction machinery parts, such as cladding or control elements. In addition, the process allows for quick adjustments in the event of design changes.

Another advantage of using thermoformed parts for construction machinery lies in the way they are produced: plastic parts are often cheaper to manufacture and transport than metal parts, which reduces overall costs. Modern plastics are recyclable, and production waste can be reused. Another challenge is to design the plastic components of construction machinery for a long life on construction sites and for extreme weather conditions and loads. Longer life cycles due to corrosion resistance and reduced maintenance also contribute to cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness. The latter point in particular is very important to swissplast and is also anchored in our company mission.

Weather conditions on a construction site can be harsh: plastic components for construction machinery must withstand extreme conditions such as high temperature fluctuations, UV radiation, rain, snow, frost, and moisture, in addition to mechanical stress from daily contact with working materials. High-quality plastics are break-resistant, temperature-resistant, and offer protection against chemical influences, making them ideal for use in harsh construction environments. The result is a long service life and, consequently, minimal repair costs, which in turn has a positive effect on profitability.

The feasibility of various shapes makes it possible: plastic parts have a wide range of applications in construction machinery—from covers, cladding, and control consoles to tanks and protective hoods. They not only improve the weight and durability, but also the design and ergonomics of the machines. Their flexibility enables tailor-made solutions for different types of machines such as excavators, cranes, wheel loaders, dump trucks, and front loaders. Feel free to contact us with your project and we will advise you on which plastic parts for construction machinery are the best solution for your project.

Our portfolio in the field of plastic components for construction machinery includes excavator parts as deep-drawn plastic parts. Our custom-made excavator parts can be designed and produced to suit your excavator model. In addition, our deep-drawn excavator parts have extremely high stability, chemical resistance, UV resistance and impact resistance. This makes our excavator parts suitable for daily outdoor use and gives them a long service life. You also have the choice of which excavator parts we can manufacture for you. Our portfolio of excavator parts includes plastic cladding, plastic covers, plastic caps, plastic covers, plastic flaps, roof cladding, pillar cladding, cab cladding and much more. You choose which excavator part you need and swissplast implements your wishes.

Another popular category of parts for construction machinery is crane components. Thanks to our many years of experience, we are able to manufacture absolutely precise, high-quality crane components that are suitable for the construction of your cranes with millimeter precision. It goes without saying that our crane components are also of the highest product quality and have a long service life in daily use on construction sites or at manufacturing locations. In the crane components segment, we can produce everything you need, including exterior cladding, interior cladding, crane cladding, other crane cladding parts, fittings, covers, plastic caps, and cab cladding. We are highly flexible and can manufacture the desired crane components according to your specifications using our production techniques of deep drawing and CNC milling.

swissplast manufactures wheel loader parts for your construction machinery. This type of construction machinery is subjected to heavy wear and tear through daily use on construction sites and contact with building materials. That is why wheel loader components that can withstand extreme loads and last for many years without deforming or even breaking are essential. Swissplast wheel loader parts meet these requirements because they are made from particularly high-quality plastics and manufactured using a unique production process. Our polycarbonate wheel loader components are extremely resistant to external influences such as stones, dust, or building materials. The wheel loader parts are also designed and manufactured with the utmost care and exactly according to your order, so that they can be integrated into your production process quickly, reliably, and without any problems.
