Case Study | Custom Fabricated Cart & Rack Weldments / Assemblies

The Issue


One of our customers, a leading manufacturer of passenger rail car interiors, needed a series of custom fabricated carts and racks to hold several of their products. The carts and racks needed to protect the product and serve as inventory racks for instant quantity recognition.

Our Task


There were no drawings available. Only the actual product as well as some crude racks and carts currently in use. VMA visited the facility and spoke with the production and quality managers regarding their specific needs, took measurements, made notes, and created rough sketches for customized cars and rack assemblies

Our Solution


From the custom cart sketches we created solid works models to prove out the fit and function. From those models we created shop drawings. With the shop drawings we fabricated first article cart / rack assemblies for customer approval before commencing with the follow on production.

What you see is what you get...

Everything you see on our website is the real deal (what we made). We produce components for battleships and Aircraft but never felt the need to show the whole battleship or aircraft on the website. And all the services / facilities posted on the site are truly under our roof and not subcontracted to a second party (which can be costly and introduce production or quality issues). Our customers know this and value it.

All Under One Roof...
