In modern agriculture and forestry, machinery must operate in tough and unpredictable conditions — from abrasive soils to high-frequency use during harvest peaks. Downtime is costly, and every component must deliver both durability and performance over time.
This is where QUARD makes a clear difference.
Its high hardness, resistance to wear, and thin available gauges allow equipment manufacturers to design parts that are both lighter and longer lasting, helping operators reduce maintenance, extend operating time, and improve overall efficiency.
Whether tilling, harvesting, transporting crops, or processing timber, machines are exposed to constant friction, shock, and abrasion. QUARD was developed precisely for such high-wear environments, making it particularly well suited for:
Compared to conventional structural steel, QUARD offers:
Its excellent workability also facilitates welding, cutting, and forming — a key benefit for equipment producers who rely on efficiency in workshop operations.
Choosing QUARD means choosing durability, efficiency, and long-term reliability — three essential factors in industries where downtime and equipment failure directly affect productivity.
From the field to the forest, QUARD gives your machines what they need to keep working — longer, better, and smarter.
QUARD is available in a wide range of dimensions adapted to the needs of agricultural and forestry equipment manufacturers:
The possibility to use thinner, more resistant plates opens up design options that combine durability, reduced weight, and material efficiency.
Thanks to InThinity, QUARD plates under 15 mm thickness also come with tight thickness tolerances and excellent flatness, ensuring predictable forming and consistent fit during assembly.
QUARD and QUEND prove their value well beyond agriculture, serving a wide spectrum of industries such as
