Transportation OEMs
Aluminum extrusions for transportation OEMs — RV, fire apparatus, ambulance, and marine builders across the Midwest.
RVs, trailers, fire apparatus, ambulances, and boats all ride on aluminum extrusion — it trims, frames, and protects the vehicle while keeping weight down where every pound counts.
How aluminum extrusion is used in transportation OEMs
Extruded aluminum supplies body framing and rails, rub rail and roof-edge trim, drip gutters, awning tubes, compartment and storage profiles, and the square and rectangular tubing that builds out a vehicle. On specialty vehicles like ambulances and fire trucks, the finish quality of exterior trim is as important as its function.
Builders choose aluminum because it's lightweight and durable, with excellent corrosion resistance that keeps rust from forming on a vehicle that lives outdoors — and because extruded profiles can be cut, punched, and finished to a vehicle's exact spec.
