Applications of Sheet Metal Fabrication in Transportation
We use the sheet metal fabrication process to manufacture a wide range of components that keep the transportation sector moving, even in adverse conditions. Common applications include:
Vehicle Manufacturing and Conversions
Metal fabrication produces both large and small parts for vehicle manufacture (cars, vans, trucks, buses and train carriages) including surrounds for screens, bumpers, and radiator grills. We also carry out vehicle conversions for the emergency services and private sector, from glove-box enclosures and side-steps to steel surrounds for tail-lift doors, working directly with vehicle suppliers to keep safety front and centre.
Infrastructure and Public Safety
Bridges, platforms, and pedestrian walkways all rely on fabricated steel for safety, from bar and diamond safety grating on stairways, walkable bridges and docks, to railings, handholds and ladder hatch trap doors. Using our CNC bending and folding solutions, we produce both bespoke infrastructure components that comply with safety regulations – similar to the work we carry out for the construction and security sector.
Public Transit
Custom sheet metal structures for airports, train stations, railways, and bus stations keep these high-footfall environments safe and efficient. High-quality fabrications help public transit providers improve safety and efficiency for years to come.
