Forestry winch drivetrain
Welded, machined and assembled gear housing from a 6-year serial program. EN ISO 3834-2, EN 10204 3.1.
The model
Stratosteel is a small coordination layer over five in-house plants and long-term European partner foundries, forges and presses across six countries. You sign one contract with us. We carry the engineering, the quality and the responsibility for the result. The plants make the parts. When they win steady work, you get stable capacity and one name that answers for all of it.
Operating company small. Network deep. That is the model, on purpose. Built by people who spent twenty years on the floor, and who still talk to buyers the way one engineer talks to another: drawing first, an honest yes or no, no theatre.
Start here
Route yourself by part family. Each page states the envelope, the documentation and the proof for that family.
High-strength steel weldments, machined after welding. In-house to 10 t under EN ISO 3834-2, to 64 t x 45 m via certified partner. S690QL, S960QL, HARDOX.
Workpiece to 50 t static, 30 t rotary, form-position 0.03 to 0.05 mm. From your casting, forging, weldment or raw material. CMM report included.
Steel castings to 50 t single piece via long-term EU foundry partners. Delivered machined and documented, not raw. NDT scope agreed before pour.
5-axis precision to IT6. A serial program at 10 000+ units per year runs today. CMM trace per batch, samples to serial in one quarter.
Not sure which family your drawing is? Send it. An engineer routes it and replies in 1 business day.

Test us small
You do not need a supplier audit to find out if we are real. Pick 1 to 3 drawings, send them, get a firm number. Judge us on the quote first and the parts second.
A part that is late, badly priced, or hard to place. PDF, STEP, DWG, DXF or IGES.
Form below or rfq@stratosteel.com. NDA first if you prefer, signed before drawings move.
An engineer answers. Honest yes or no on fit, questions if the drawing needs them.
Price, lead time, documentation scope. If we cannot make it competitively, we say so.
Family first
We did not build one big factory and ask skilled people to drive hours to it, or live away from their families all week. We built the network around where they already live. They work near home and have dinner with their kids, every day, not just on weekends.
Less commuting is also a little easier on the planet. A small bit for now, more each year. We do this because work is not first. Family is. Work is what lets a family live well, every day, not just at the weekend. That, and 3NEXT for the next generation, is why Stratosteel exists.
Why we do it
We build a system that gives our plants steady work and our buyers fewer problems. Three percent of every deal goes forward, toward the next generation. Built into the deal, not a donation. We call it 3NEXT.
Profit is the fuel. It is not the point. Where 3NEXT comes from →

No gatekeeper, no commitment. A real engineer replies within one business day, straight yes or no on fit.
