Strategy & Engineering
Because we thrive on collaboration and view every project as an opportunity to work closely with our talented customers, Metalcraft engineers always deliver maximum value—whether they're designing original parts or offering key insights on existing work.
Prototyping
Combine our 4,700-square-foot Tech Center, our in-house tool-design capabilities, and our constant search for DFM (design for manufacturing) opportunities, and it’s easy to see how we're able to help our customers rapidly bring their ideas to fruition.
Production
From cutting to forming, welding to machining, and painting to assembly, Metalcraft offers a seamless, end-to-end production experience.
Tank Manufacturing
With our industry-leading tank manufacturing processes and value streams, Metalcraft has never experienced a leaky tank in the field. As part of our continuous improvement in tank manufacturing, we diligently review all aspects of a given tank design, which include: proper weld-shelf sizing, torch accessibility, adequate drainage ports/location, use of standard ports/weld flanges, as well as the ideal location for lifting lugs to ensure proper orientation for cleaning and drainage of a reservoir.
Assembly
Our customers aren’t required to do any preassembly—and working with us only gets easier from there.
Metalcraft has:
- Worldwide part-sourcing capabilities.
- Multiple assembly lines for products of all shapes and sizes.
- The ability to complete assembly on paint lines when necessary.
- The ability to direct ship to our customers’ assembly lines.
Inspection
To understand why customers turn to us for their inspection needs, start with a thorough inspection of our credentials and equipment.
- Level 1-to-4 PPAP and validation is nationally recognized
- Equipment:
- (3) DCC CMMs
- (2) laser inspection tables
- (8) portable FaroArm® arms with up to a 12-ft. working envelope
Painting & Finishing
Paint lines are located at every Metalcraft facility, allowing each one to operate as a standalone location. Just as important, we've upgraded to allow for “two-pass powder” capabilities. In this innovative process, a powder primer and top coat are applied with only a single cure stage. Best of all, it provides tough corrosion protection with a smooth finish.
- One 7-stage system with iron phosphate cleaner and two 5-stage systems.
- Electrostaticly applied wet and powder paints, to customer specifications.
- Automatic guns triggered by optic sensors along with robotic/automated powder application.
- Up to 15 ft. x 9 ft. x 4 1/2 ft. part sizes and up to 3,000 lb. rail capacity.
- (1) monorail batch wash, powder paint, and cure system with a size capacity of 6 ft. x 13 ft. x 24 ft. and a 3,000 lb. rail capacity.
- Robotic-arm painting systems.
Logistics & Delivery
Dedicated and driven to provide on time, quality product to both internal and external stakeholders, Metalcraft will support any customer’s logistics needs and provide door-to-door service with our trucks and trailers.
- Supplying materials to our shop floor manufacturing teams with SAP, using strategies for efficient and tactical direct delivery to the point of use
- Proficient and quality package processing of customers' finished products
- Delivery via contract carrier, common center, or Metalcraft trucks
- Delivery fleet:
- (1) 2014 Freightliner, (1) 2015 Freightliner, and (1) 2020 Volvo
- (19) 53-ft. trailer
