Stainless Steel Custom Welded Roof Rack

Sometimes your from the factory roof rack just isn’t designed to your specific business needs.

There is a solution! Why not have a custom built stainless steel roof rack.

The Welding Shop Calgary can build a roof rack for any size vehicle and for any specific carrying need you have.

This roof rack while relatively simple needed to function as a lock box and once all sides have been welded on it would do just that.

Welding Big Rig Modifications

Big rig cabs can be just like a small apartments on the interior but sometimes there is little if no storage on the exterior.

To accommodate the need to store tools, chains and other items critical to keeping cab space free of heavy equipment The Welding Shop Calgary created these side lockers for this big rig cab.

The rear deck of the cab also had to be extended to assimilate the new large lockers.

TELUS Spark Science Centre is a science museum with interactive exhibits, multimedia presentations and educational demonstrations in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. There are more than 430,000 visitors annually, including over 82,000 students.

The parking lot for the Spark recently got an upgrade.

What Metals Can be Welded Together

Weldability is word used to describe how compatible certain metals are with one another.

Metals such as titanium, copper or brass have common elements.  Iron and steel can all be welded using basic stick welding.

Magnesium alloys are welded using AC-TIG welding while copper, brass and titanium use DC-TIG

The Welding Shop Calgary has extensive experience in all forms of welding and are on hand to offer advice or a FREE quote on your unusual project.

This odd coupling will be installed in a service area in a new hospital renovation.

Industrial leaf remover for commercial leaf and natural debris removal.

This leaf remover is supersized. Just like the common, everyday leaf blower for around the house this vacuum makes short work of large leaf fall and other small natural debris like twigs and small branches.

When installed to a the back of a one ton truck this will be able to remove large leave and debris from outdoor commercial and residential areas like parks and parking lots.

Structural Steel Yard Upgrade

While there is no shortage of overhead cranes in our main building it was becoming evident that we could only get so far with manual labour and forklifts in the yard.

Today we installed the first overhead crane in yard to accommodate some of the larger structural steel I beams we use in construction projects like the Dorion Hotel downtown.

I took a couple of hours to install but will safe many hours when in use.

For all welding and structural steel projects give us a call at 403-273-7717

It’s not the Welding it’s the Grind

Welding repair can apply to anything from gigantic excavation bucket that has a broken tooth, structural steel I beams and forms, to a common vehicle rim that has been cracked or damaged.

With all of these repairs there are many different processes used to accomplish the weld. A few of these are GMAW (Gas, Metal Arc Welding), Arc, MIG (Metal, Inert Gas) or  TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas).

Repair welding is not just the process of welding but also includes grinding. A skill that sometimes goes unnoticed but a necessary evil in most welding repair.

The Welding Shop Calgary team is expert in welding repair.

For information or emergency repair get in touch at info@twscalgary.com or 403-273-7717.

Big Rig Rail Frame Extension

This Rig is being retrofitted for a static container that will eventually fit a small car.

Once the rails are extended and the smaller trailer permanently welded to the frame this rig will be fitted for a lift to get a vehicle into the container along with room for work bench and possibly sleeping for touring a show car to shows and exhibits.

Easier said than done but The Welding Shop Calgary has seen just about everything so bring us your next project and let us bring it to life.
