Why use metal over plastic?

8/8/2016

Designing a product? If you're thinking about manufacturing with metal instead of plastic, think about these 5 great reasons why metal might be a better choice for you:
  • You need strength. Metal is a stronger material than plastic.
  • You need accuracy. Metal can stand up to warping more than plastic. For example, metal sheave gauges last much longer than plastic ones.
  • You need heat and UV resistance. Will your product need to withstand high temperatures without melting or warping? Metal may be your best option.
  • You need your product to look more expensive. Metal simply looks more pricey than plastic. Customers perceive it as better quality and durability.
  • You need good conductivity. Metal is a natural conductor. 

If these factors matter for your production, consider metal over plastic.

Crane and rigging training institutes: give away metal sheave gauges for less than $10 per set

Crane and rigging training institutes can now provide trainees with durable, long-lasting sheave gauges as giveaways at a fraction of the cost competitors charge.

Our most popular sheave gauge - called our Special Group I (1/4" - 1-1/2") - sells for less than $10 each at high volume quantities (1,000+). That's about 10% of the price of any durable metal sheave gauge you can find in North America. (Even for 1 gauge, you'd pay about 25% of the price competitors charge for metal sheave gauges.) Add imprinting so your trainees can more easily remember you or send clients your way, and it's just a bit more per set.

How we keep our prices low for you
We stamp our metal sheave gauges - giving you the same precision as a laser cut option but more durability than plastic options.

Don't just take our word for it. Get a sample or see our prices.
