Lead Ballast Used as Counterweight ApplicationsLead ballast can be customized for your needs, using only the purest lead available for our lead fabrications and lead castings.  Absolutely no refining takes place at our facility, making us one of the cleanest, most environmentally friendly providers of lead ballast in the industry.

Custom lead ballast shapes are available to suit your specifications.  Our industry experience can provide you with all your lead rolled or lead poured ballast needs.

On large modern ships, the keel is made of or filled with a high-density material, such as lead.  40% heavier than steel and 60% heavier than cast iron, lead brick is a cost-effective and efficient material to use as ballast. 

Other counterweight applications of lead ballast in military, governmental, and public sectors include:

  • Submarines and drawbridges
  • Elevators
  • Boat keels
