Our custom profiles for off-highway vehicles such as construction machinery, forklift trucks and agricultural machinery are often unique, customer specific solutions. Through decades of experience, Welser can offer bespoke high strength steel profiles bent into shapes such as A-pillars and B-pillars, to ensure your cab looks ultra-modern. To help increase your own productivity, we can offer features such as laser cut end details, pre-fitted thread inserts, and additional welded components.
Producing any steel section for your ROPS & FOPS cabs, whether door profiles, A, B or C pillars, takes serious expertise. Our inhouse tooling competence and investment in state-of-the-art machinery ensures we not only roll form the profile cross section as sympathetically as possible, but we also bend it into shape minimizing or irradicating all the usual steel bending issues.
Sympathetic roll forming of the cross-section ensures localized thinning and internal stresses are minimized, therefore maintaining the strength of the parent material, resulting in a safer, more accurate profile. Welding the profile closed is done online in a cost efficient and very accurate welding process, creating a very strong but almost invisible weld.
It also means that the profile is roll formed to provide perfect visual surfaces, removing the worries of costly paint defects caused by ill-placed roll forming tooling.
State of the art bending technology allows us to bend profiles whilst minimizing any unsightly rippling, thinning or even tearing of the metal. This means you receive sections that are smoothly curved, that can consistently accommodate glazing to create the modern aesthetic you designed.
Further details can be cost-effectively added to boost your cab building speed and accuracy, with features such as laser-cut holes for cable runs, part identification marks, threaded holes, pre-fitted inserts and bespoke laser-cut end forms all helping to simplify your cab building process.
