Construction Lead Shot
Flexible, flowable lead shot designed for ballast systems, machinery stabilization, vibration control, and structural mass loading.
Key Features and Benefits
High-Density Ballast Material – delivers maximum weight in minimal volume for machinery and structural stabilization
Flowable Fill Design – conforms to irregular cavities, frames, counterweights, and structural voids
Cost-Effective Alternative to Custom Cast Lead – reduces tooling and mold expenses in ballast applications
Foundry-Direct Supply – ensures competitive pricing and consistent material quality
Available in 25 lb Bags or Super Sacks – supports both small construction jobs and large industrial projects
Custom Packaging Options (Fire-Rated or Ballistic Nylon) – improves handling durability and application flexibility
Bulk Production Capacity – accommodates high-volume industrial and infrastructure projects
Product Overview
Ultraray Metals supplies high-quality construction lead shot engineered for ballast and weight distribution applications across industrial and commercial sectors.
Because of its granular form, lead shot easily fills cavities, equipment bases, frames, and structural compartments where solid lead blocks or molds may be impractical. This flexibility makes it a preferred solution in projects requiring dense mass within confined or irregular spaces.
For ballast applications, lead shot is often more cost-effective than custom cast lead molds while offering faster deployment and easier field installation.
Ultraray provides foundry-direct pricing and scalable production capacity to meet projects of all sizes — from small equipment stabilization to full-scale industrial construction.
