Recently, we have designed and installed a full fabrication and hydraulic project from scratch, turning a basic 7.5Ton wagon chassis into a mobile 20metre2 LED advertising wagon. We designed and fabricated the complete sub chassis assembly integrated with a bespoke hydraulic system.

Following the wagon, we designed, fabricated and installed a steel frame into the side of a double decker bus and installed a 18metre2 LED screen complete with generator and all the associated equipment.

Our vision is to maintain continual growth as a team, whilst striving to be number one in the eyes of the customer in a cost effective, safe and environmentally friendly manner.
