DESIGN We begin with our in-house design process using computer-aided 3D design software and FEA (finite element analysis) to ensure strength and reliability. Once designs are customer approved they are sent to the production floor. FABRICATION Next is the fabrication process when operators load pre-programmed computer-aided fiber laser cutting machines with raw steel and aluminum. Once parts are cut, precision bends are made using press brakes for manufacturing proficiency. WELDING On to the welding bay where highly trained welders and robotic welding stations incorporate speed and accuracy in the manufacturing process. All welds are inspected by quality assurance personnel. PAINT & CHASSIS PREP Painters take everybody through a three-step paint process consists of a phosphate wash, PPG epoxy primer, and PPG Delfleet topcoat. The protective coating is also applied. Meanwhile, our chassis prep team equips the cab and chassis as needed before the body is mounted. FINAL ASSEMBLY Moving on to final assembly our specialized service & lube body technicians mount the body to chassis, assemble and install cranes, electrical and hydraulic components, and other accessories.
