DESIGN
From the beginning of the trailer ordering process, the customer is intrinsically involved. The engineer, using various design tools like AUTOCAD, SOLIDWORKS, including the latest 3D solid modelling and stress analysis software creates a detailed sales drawing reflective of the customers specification.
3D Design to ensure 100% accuracy and fitment we use the latest Inventor software to 3D model all components used to build each trailer.
We guarantee each new design or change is dimensionally correct and fulfills our customer’s requirements. Every design is stress checked using finite element analysis (FEA) software. This allows us to simulate loading, deflection and stress levels on parts before they are produced.
MACHINING & CUTTING
After the completion of design Machining & Profile Cutting has been started, the next step in the manufacturing process involves cutting steel parts using state of the art CNC laser and plasma profile cutting machines. This ensures accuracy to 0.5mm and 100% repeatability of every component
FABRICATION
After the Machining & Cutting, the next step in trailer manufacturing process is Fabrication. During the design process DXF files are created by our engineering team to facilitate parts to be cut directly on the latest CNC laser and plasma profile machines.
All parts, materials and sub-assemblies are barcode labelled for identification and traceability. Fabrication is done to strict procedures and quality standards by our experienced and qualified worker.
Higher volume parts are made in custom jigs, while special and one off parts are fabricated from 3D drawings. Each assembly is checked and signed off once tacked together, again after welding and again when finished.
BLAST & PAINT
A blasting process achieves a clean, peened, smooth surface ready for paint application. This process is critical to the overall paint finish.
After blasting process, all parts are primed with a two pack epoxy primer, allowed to dry and then sanded smooth and sealed for top coat. At the final coating stage, our experienced trades-people top coat to the required colour in two pack polyurethane gloss finish. Each item is again inspected and signed off ready for assembly.
ASSEMBLY AND FIT OUT
Next stage of trailer building process involves the assembly and fitments of all the materials, fabricated parts, electronic componenets, etc. This includes axles, suspension, brake system, hydraulics, lights, mud guards etc.
The body is bolted to the chassis rather than welding it which avoids breaking the paint seal and adding to the life of the trailer. This allows for easy accident repair, meaning the trailer is off the road for the minimum period, saving time and money.
QUALITY CONTROL
Once all components are fitted the trailers are tested to ensure everything works correctly and that there are no leaks in any systems. Electronics, suspension and braking systems are tested using the latest computer diagnostic software. Finally bolt tensions are checked and signed off. The trailer is now ready for licensing and delivery to the customer.
DELIVERY & HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP
Last but not least stage is to deliver high-quality manufactured product to the customer.
We believe this is the beginning of the healthy relationship between Yugma & Customer and it will be a long lasting.
