Sheet metal fabrication uses sheet metal as the raw material to construct a range of different products and structures. Many industries rely on it – including the transportation sector, which utilises thousands of different products made using metal fabrication.
Sheet metal fabrication is carried out across the globe; however, at LSW we are proud to be born and bred in India, and the quality of our products is a testament to that. We fabricate everything in-house, which means you are guaranteed a quality product made by our team of fabricators, right here in Vadodara, Gujarat.
Through metal fabrication, transportation has become more efficient and safer. We use the sheet metal fabrication process to create a wide range of functions that help keep the sector moving – even in adverse conditions.
There are a huge number of parts that go into the manufacture of vehicles including cars, vans, trucks, buses and train carriages. Metal fabrication is an excellent method for creating parts both large and small due to its high level of customisation and flexibility. Surrounds to encapsulate parts such as vehicle screens, bumpers and radiator grills are all made using metal fabrication techniques – helping make vehicles safer for operators and the public.
Emergency vehicles don't start out life as a fully-fledged fire engine, ambulance or police car straight off the production line – and neither do grocery delivery vans. Everyday transits, cars and trucks need converting using sheet metal fabrication techniques. Whether it's glove-box enclosures, side-steps, door-handle mounts or steel surrounds for tail-lift doors, we work hand-in-hand with emergency and private-sector vehicle suppliers to ensure safety is paramount.
In addition to metal surfaces, railings and security walls, many bridges feature metal fabricated surfaces. Platforms used by workers to access high areas such as signs and advertisements are typically fabricated from steel. Safety rails on building sites, ladder hatch trap doors and stair-safe products can all be used to great effect to protect employees.
Custom sheet metal structures in airports, train stations, railways, bus stations and other mass-transit locations keep these areas safe for large numbers of people. By utilising high-quality, hard-wearing metal fabrications, public transit providers can improve their efficiency and safety for years to come.
Metal grating for pedestrian traffic helps make walkways safe for anybody travelling by foot. Sturdy, uniform surfaces improve accessibility – pedestrian walkways often use bar grating, while industrial settings use diamond safety grating. Slip-resistant surfaces let people walk securely on stairways, walkable bridges, rooftops and docks. Our team will help you choose the right design and the best material for hard-wearing applications.
Using CNC bending machines and metal folding techniques, we create both bespoke and batch production runs of railings and handholds for industrial, commercial and consumer use – complying with the relevant regulations and keeping users safe.
We can help you create a huge range of products and parts that improve the safety and efficiency of businesses in this industry – from single bespoke pieces to batch production.
