MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES

The right process.
For the right component.

Discuss feasibility before you finalise your design. Capacity depends on the full combination of material, dimensions and geometry.

Specify the part.
We’ll discuss the process.

Review our stated cutting and bending capacities below, then send your drawing so material grade, tooling, dimensions and geometry can be assessed together.

01

Bending equipment

Bend length, angle, radius, material and thickness.

↗
02

Rolling equipment

Material width, thickness, target radius or diameter and end conditions.

↗
03

Cutting machinery

CAD drawings, blank dimensions, edge requirements, material and preparation allowances. Include CNC cutting requirements for assessment.

↗
04

Welding equipment

Material, joint details, access and acceptance requirements.

PURPOSE-BUILT / 750-3,500 KG MANUFACTURING RANGE

Sheet rolling, MIG & TIG welding, and custom trailers

From curved sheet metal components to welded steel assemblies, our workshop brings forming, welding and fabrication together for your project.

We manufacture purpose-built trailers in the 750 kg to 3,500 kg range, with dimensions, axle configurations and loading arrangements tailored to the job. Final specifications are confirmed against the approved manufacturing scope. Repairs and modifications for larger commercial and truck trailers are assessed on inspection.
