Custom Open-Die Forged Industrial Crankshafts
At Great Lakes Forge, we manufacture industrial forged crankshafts for heavy-duty equipment. Unlike automotive engine crankshafts, our crankshafts are engineered for industrial machinery, such as industrial compressors, stationary generators, mechanical presses, and pumps.
Our open-die forging capabilities allow us to produce crankshafts with improved strength and reliable performance for industrial equipment. We can create custom single-, double-, and multi-throw crankshafts and eccentric shafts with superior durability and service life for a wide range of industrial applications. Our crankshafts can be used in a variety of sectors, including energy production, mining, oil and natural gas, and more.
Backed by custom forging capabilities and some of the shortest lead times in the industry, we are a trusted manufacturer for engineers nationwide. Contact Great Lakes Forge to get a quote and start your crankshaft order today!

Capabilities for Forging Industrial Crankshafts
Many industries rely on industrial crankshafts for heavy-duty equipment. At Greak Lakes Forge, we perform open-die forging to produce single-, double-, and multi-throw crankshafts reaching up to 3000 pounds and 100 inches long. We work directly with you to understand your requirements and manufacture a custom solution that works for your application.
Our open-die forging process allows us to create crankshafts with several performance advantages, including:
- Continuous grain flow
- Improved microstructure
- Finer grain size
- Reduced chance of voids
- Greater strength
- Better fatigue resistance
Open-die forging improves the strength, consistency, durability, and quality of custom forged crankshafts, making our crankshafts a reliable solution for industrial machinery and equipment.
