The metal fabrication industry is vital in producing components for the transportation industry. Metal fabricators manufacture diverse components for rail cars, trucks, buses, infrastructure, and more. Champ Metal Fabrication serves clients with medium- to high-volume metal fabrication and assembly services from our facilities in the United States and Canada. On this page, you’ll learn more about the different sectors of the transportation industry and the specific components we provide.

Transportation Industry

The transportation industry comprises a variety of major sectors, including automotive, rail, public transport, and more. Here is an overview of each sector and the components we produce for them.

AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR

Automotive metal fabrication supplies parts from the initial manufacture of the assembly to the production of replacement components. Metal fabricated components are essential to every automobile, from tractors and big rigs to pickup trucks, vans, and cars. Common examples of components fabricated for the automotive industry include:

  • Perforated metal and wire cloth
  • Seat frames
  • Doors
  • Hubcaps
  • Trunk lids
  • Steering columns
  • Suspension systems
  • Frames
  • Steps for trucks and SUVs
  • Headboards
  • Grilles
  • Vehicle screens

RAILROAD SECTOR

Custom metal fabrication is integral to the railroad industry, producing critical fasteners, bolts, spikes, rails, and engine components. In addition to fabricating components for passenger coaches, we deliver specialized metal components for freight shipping modes such as closed and open hoppers, flatcars, and boxcars.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT & INFRASTRUCTURE

Custom metal fabrication creates the components to assemble buses, subways, trolleys, trams, and other forms of public transport. Metal fabrication also creates components to build the infrastructure for these transportation systems, such as stations and terminals. At Champ Metal Fabrication, we also fabricate the following components to support public safety in these high-foot-traffic areas:

  • Highway guardrails
  • Safety grating
  • Manhole covers
  • Tunnels
  • Overpasses
  • Stairwell railings

BRIDGES & PLATFORMS

Interior and exterior bridges feature fabricated metal walking surfaces and security walls and railings to prevent pedestrians from falling. High work areas, such as billboards and signs along the highway, also require sturdy metal fabricated platforms.

WALKWAYS

Custom metal fabrication creates metal grating for safe, accessible, ADA-compliant pedestrian walkways. Transportation companies can select from various grating styles to match their preferred strength, appearance, and design requirements. Bar grating is a preferred solution for public walkways, while industrial facilities prefer diamond safety grating. Outdoor staircases, bridges, docks, rooftops, and sidewalks typically also require slip resistance.
