Durable Shims for Heavy Equipment
Heavy equipment is expensive. It must be correctly positioned and aligned to reduce wear and maintain performance. Artus has been a custom shim and gasket manufacturer for heavy equipment owners and manufacturers for over 80 years. We work with and develop long-lasting relationships with heavy equipment customers, such as John Deere and Komatsu.
Used in agriculture, construction, and automotive equipment, our plastic and metal shims and shim stock are designed with reliability and performance in mind. Our lead times are kept short to meet your deadlines, our process is economical to meet your budget, and our employees are trained to deliver maximum precision. Our shims and gaskets are ideal for leveling and positioning heavy equipment and machinery, such as engine gaskets, excavator shims, power takeoff on trucks and tractors, and powertrain shims.
Artus shims and shim stock are remarkably durable, non-corrosive, non-hygroscopic, impervious to oil, and economical. Our metal shims have an extremely high tensile strength to maintain performance in heavy applications. Best of all, plastic and aluminum shims are color-coded so you can save time on industrial manufacturing.

The Color Tells the Thickness
Each color represents a specific shim thickness, making distinguishing between thicknesses quick and easy. With variations in shim thickness being as little as 0.00025”, differentiating by color instead of measuring shims drastically saves time and reduces errors on the production floor.
