Standard Linkage Assemblies

Jan 09, 2024

We've been building custom linkage assemblies for customes since 1967. Our new 'Linkage' category in our webstore is to make standard designs now available to customers in smaller quantities at prices only the largest customers previously had access to.  The logic of the linkage tables is based around center-to-center lengths, and then an array of options is presented. If there's a link size or option you don't see, send us an email and we'll add it if we can. More designs pending.

WELDED & POWDER COATED FABRICATIONS

Aug 06, 2014

One of our great niches is welded and powder coated fabrications. If a part's primary component is bar or tubing, and that in turn is welded to plate, flat bar, other wireforms, or other tube fabrications, and then the entire assembly is powder coated, we are very competitive in the 250 to 5000 piece production run quantities.  Other added operations such as threading, drilling, swaging, press forming, cnc bending, bearing sizing (ie: pressing in bronze bushings), laser etching, all add to our competitiveness.

Plasma and Poly

May 27, 2014

We've added some new manufacturing capabilities recently, including a plasma cutter and a polyurethane injection molding machine.  The plasma cutter will be used to help increase our tubular door, bumper and light bar fabricating capabilities (we purchased a tube positioner for the plasma). Our goal in beginning to mold polyurethane is to support our sway bar manufacturing capabilities.  Added with our existing capabilities of cnc tube bending, robotic welding, and powder coating, we are looking forward to some fun new projects.
