Right from the beginning the quality of our fit and finish has been our driving force. Having worked in this industry for close to twenty years I have seen items from countless manufacturers with varying paint quality. I have seen equipment with little or no paint coverage, painting over rusty steel, and painting over contaminated steel (oil coating) that would come off in sheets. Right from the start we went looking for the best coverage product available. We looked at powder coating at great length. It provides excellent coverage and depth. The only downside is its lack of resistance to UV light which causes the coating to fade if left outdoors in direct sunlight over time. We were looking for a finish at would provide us with a minimum of three years direct sunlight UV resistance with little of no fading. While walking a county fair we ran across a vendor using a urethane finished on the dump bodies they manufactured. After investigating we found that a lot of school bus, heavy equipment, and industrial equipment manufacturers were using this type of paint on their products. The more we looked the more we liked the UV protection. We also liked the way it covered the product, looking almost like powder coating. We learned that prepping the product before painting is as important as the primer and paint application itself. Without proper application the effort is wasted. We brought in the experts from Sherwin Williams and gave them a clean sheet of paper and said “give us the best paint system in the industry” period. With their help we developed our complete paint line, including mono-rail, abrasive blast booth, phosphate bath booth, primer and paint booth and drying chamber. We have developed a quality control program empowering our employees the ability to make critical decisions at each step of production to ensure our users will be purchasing the best product available for the price.
Remember, from the time our raw materials enter our factory, until our dealer’s pick the finished products up they are stored under roof!
