OEM Solutions

OEM product development & supply

Custom components.
From concept to supply.

North State Sales helps equipment manufacturers develop and supply custom gray iron castings, ductile iron castings, fabricated steel components, and chain products. We can develop the design and drawings, coordinate manufacturing, and support ongoing supply.

Our full existing catalog, including our entire chain line, is available through OEM supply arrangements. Private labeling is available for any of our existing products.

Two ways to work together

The right starting point for your product line.

Custom development

Develop a component around your requirements.

Bring an idea, an application, a problem to solve, or existing drawings and specifications. We can develop the product design and drawings with your team, then coordinate manufacturing and supply of the approved component.

Catalog supply

Build an OEM program around an existing product.

A component in our full existing catalog may already meet your requirements. Choose from the entire range, including our chain line, with private labeling available for any existing product. We can discuss the OEM supply arrangement for your application and ongoing needs.

Custom component capabilities

Gray iron. Ductile iron. Fabricated steel.

From counterweights to other equipment components, we can help develop a new part or work from your existing design. The application and requirements guide the approach.

Gray iron castings

Custom gray iron components, including OEM counterweights, developed around your application or supplied drawings.

Ductile iron castings

Custom ductile iron components for OEM projects, with design and drawing support when your part is still being developed.

Fabricated steel components

Custom steel components and assemblies, from a new concept through an agreed design, manufacturing coordination, and supply.

Custom chain products

We also supply custom chain products. Bring the application, dimensions, requirements, or an existing specification so we can discuss the product you need and an appropriate supply approach.

A collaborative development process

Turnkey support, with your team involved.

You can involve North State Sales before the design is complete. We work with you to review requirements and feasibility, develop the component, and coordinate the steps toward supply.

  1. Bring the application

    Describe the intended function, available space, mounting requirements, target weight, or result you need. Share whatever information you have.

  2. Develop the design & drawings

    We can develop the design and drawings, or work from yours. Requirements and proposed designs are reviewed with your team for approval.

  3. Coordinate manufacturing

    Once the design and project requirements are agreed, we coordinate manufacturing of the component to the approved specifications.

  4. Supply the finished product

    We coordinate finished-component supply and discuss an ongoing arrangement around your quantities, timing, and program requirements.

Existing products. OEM supply options.

Your next component may already be in our catalog.

Our full catalog is available through OEM supply arrangements, so a suitable existing product can give you another starting point. Share a part number or describe what you need; we can discuss its suitability and the supply arrangement for your program.

The entire chain line

Our full chain range is available for OEM supply, including tire chains, transport chain, and binders. If your application calls for a different chain product, talk with us about a custom solution.

Private labeling for any existing product

Private labeling is available across our existing product catalog, including the entire chain line. Tell us which products you need and your branding requirements so we can discuss the details with you.

The Tractor Weight People

Counterweight knowledge.
Broader component capability.

Tractor weights, equipment counterweights, and ballasting solutions are central to North State Sales. We help OEMs think through the weight, space, mounting, and function their component needs to address.

Our custom development and supply capabilities also extend to other gray iron castings, ductile iron castings, fabricated steel components, and chain products. Your project does not have to be a weight or ballast product.

Before you get in touch

OEM project questions, answered.

Do we need finished drawings before contacting you?

No. An application description, sketch, photograph, dimensions, target weight, or set of requirements is a valid starting point. Share what you have; finished drawings are optional.

Can you help design a new product?

Yes. We can develop the product design and drawings from your idea, application, or requirements. We review the requirements, feasibility, and proposed design with your team before coordinating manufacturing and supply.

Do you supply components other than tractor weights?

Yes. In addition to tractor weights and equipment counterweights, we provide custom gray iron castings, ductile iron castings, fabricated steel components, and chain products for OEM applications. Our entire existing catalog is also available for OEM supply.

Can we use an existing catalog product instead of developing a custom part?

Yes. Our full existing catalog is available through OEM supply arrangements. A catalog component may already meet your requirements, without needing a new custom design or tooling. We can review the application and discuss an appropriate supply arrangement.

Can you supply custom chain products?

Yes. We supply our entire existing chain line and offer custom chain products. Describe the application and requirements, or share an existing specification, so we can discuss your project.

Can you private label existing products?

Yes. Private labeling is available for any of our existing products, including the entire chain line. Share the products you are considering and your branding requirements so we can discuss the appropriate arrangement.
