What happens here

The factory tour continues, showcasing the areas where various trailer components are built. This includes stacks of steel for webs and flanges, which are robotically welded together to form the engineered frames for gooseneck and highway transport trailers. The tour then highlights the robot cell for building aluminum ramps, emphasizing their heavy-duty yet lightweight design (40 lbs, rated for 4,500 lbs mid-span).

Goal: Observe the assembly processes for trailer frames and specialized aluminum ramps.

Tools and materials

  • Aluminum Ramp Components — Materials for lightweight, heavy-duty ramps
  • Robotic Welders Yaskawa — Assembling trailer frames
  • Safety Glasses — Eye protection in the factory
  • Steel Web and Flange materials — Components for trailer frames

built what do they use this crane for though is this for the 53t beams for all the webs all the webs off the tables here so the 53 is of the goose next so you manufacture the beams right here in house correct yeah so this you guys made we going to do next we were just outside loading on that equipment trailer this is where the magic happens follow me let's do the tour grab your safety Stu this is where the main web and the flanges are stacked and we put them together and we weld them together continuously robotic welding so our 53t and our goose neck trailers together married here planned main web put together to to build the engineered frame on a gock trailer or a highway transport let's keep going this is the robot cell where we build our aluminum ramps the robots are going to take over they put the ramps together this is our heavyduty lightweight ramp weighs about 40 lb we rate that for 4500 lb midspan you've got them on your dump trailer thanks Dan let's keep going this is just the main plant out of their their six plants where their flat deck trailers are built same place where we build our
