Heavy Duty Bumper

Heavy–duty bumpers are mostly built for protection of front ends of pickups and SUVs but is also commonly found on heavy tow trucks used for pushing vehicles out of the way in traffic incidents where roads need to be cleared or for helping vehicles that have become stuck in mud or snow.

A bullbar or push bumper (also known as a ‘moose bumper’ in Canada,) is a device installed on the front of a vehicle to protect its front from collisions in rural areas from large animals like deer and moose or free range cattle.

Extension for Fifth Wheel

It’s not every day that we extend the deck on a big rig and rebuild the fifth wheel.

The fifth-wheel coupling provides the link between a semi-trailer and the towing truck, tractor unit, leading trailer or dolly. The coupling consists of a kingpin, a 2-or-3+1⁄2-inch-diameter (50.8 or 88.9 mm) vertical steel pin protruding from the bottom of the front of the semi-trailer, and a horseshoe-shaped coupling device called a fifth wheel on the rear of the towing vehicle.

This modification was done to accommodate greater space between the cab and the trailer giving the rig more room for storage.

Just a Little Off The Back

Over the years The Welding Shop Calgary has had many request to modify everything from RV’s to Big Rig cabs but this one is a first.

The particular client wanted some length removed from his flat deck.

The easy part was removing the 5ft of length from the back of the deck. The hard part was re-framing the remaining portion and then welding a special fit rear impact guard.

The impact guard is required by law and is designed to keep vehicles from going under the flat deck if there happens to be a rear impact.

Firewood Sorter

You have probably never wondered where those neatly wound bundles of firewood that you can pick up at the local 711 or gas station come from. Lined up conveniently for those who still have a wood burning fire place and don’t want to make a trek to the woods or won a wood lot to get their own.

Besides, why go to the effort of chopping fire wood when you can just load up down the street.

The Welding Shop Calgary built this giant wood sorter for a local fire wood distributor.

After the logs are  chopped into somewhat equal proportions they are then thrown onto one of these huge sorters and no it is not automated. Humans stand at the bottom of the sorter and organize the wood into bundles. Imagine the splinters in a days work at that.
