McLaughlin Body Co. provides high-performance solutions for the agricultural sector, designing and developing specialized cabs, enclosures, parts, and components employed in various agriculture operations. We are leading manufacturers of agriculture enclosures through our numerous capabilities, allowing us to create outcomes that are built to last.
Agricultural Vehicles from McLaughlin Body Co.
The agriculture industry is known for its rugged environment, requiring various vehicles and equipment for different agriculture applications. Depending on the specific farming operations, these vehicles are subject to harsh conditions such as extreme weather, rough terrain, and high impacts.
Examples of vehicles used in agriculture applications:
- Tractors
- Combine harvesters
- Sprayers
- Planters
- Harvesters
With this in mind, machines and vehicles used for agricultural projects must be resilient, have weathering properties, and operate efficiently. At McLaughlin Body Co., we understand these challenges, so we develop unique enclosures for agriculture vehicles that ensure their operator’s safety while maintaining durability and performance.
Our Top-of-the-Line Capabilities
We have a broad range of capabilities available that we can use to build agriculture enclosures, parts, and components that meet the needs and specifications of our clients. Our extensive experience in sheet metal fabrication allows us to manufacture agriculture enclosures with value and consistency in mind. That said, our capabilities include the following:
CNC Tube Bending
Different enclosures and vehicles require tubes bent at a precise angle, such as structural shapes, railings, handles, and supports. CNC tube bending provides accurate and consistent bends for various steel tubing sizes. Furthermore, we can work on various materials using different bending methods to achieve the results you’re looking for.
Assembly Operations
Our years of manufacturing experience allow us to provide optimal assembly operations with ease and confidence. We can assemble an enclosure for any agricultural vehicle with precision in mind, ensuring that all components are installed correctly and securely through extensive testing of electrical systems, including HVAC, wipers and controls. Aggressive water testing in high volume, high pressure booths is completed to ensure a sealed cab.
Powder Coating
Enhance the protection of your agriculture enclosures with our powder coating services. We use high-quality coatings to provide more desirable properties for your enclosure’s surface. For instance, our powder coating services allow your agriculture vehicles to withstand rugged environmental conditions while maintaining their appearance.
Benefits of our powder coating services include:
- Improved corrosion-resistance
- UV ray protection
- Highly resistant to wear and tear
- Versatile color options
- Increase robustness
- Withstand chemical exposures
E-Coating
E-coating is a unique coating process that electrostatically coats a metal component. It means the part is submerged in a liquid bath of either paint, water-based solution, or epoxy. Afterward, the electric current attracts the coating particles in a liquid solution, which is immediately deposited onto the substrate’s surface.
Agricultural enclosures that have been e-coated can benefit from improved aesthetics, increased durability, and reduced maintenance costs. It also offers resistance against corrosion, oxidation, and other damaging elements like our powder coating services.
Welding
Welding is one of our primary capabilities, and we specialize in several types of welding methods to create strong joints as the enclosure is manufactured. The overall quality of the enclosure highly depends on the welding quality, so we only employ skilled welders who can guarantee consistent results in their welding work.
Some of the welding methods we use include:
- TIG Welding: One of the most commonly used welding techniques is TIG welding. It produces high-quality and clean welds, so they don’t require post-cleaning. In addition, it can weld numerous metals compared to other welding methods.
- MIG Welding: For projects with tight deadlines, we utilize MIG welding since it can create clean welds at a faster rate. It’s also a versatile technique that can work on numerous alloys and metals.
- Resistance Welding: Joining sheet metals can be achieved with resistance welding. This method uses pressure and heat to weld the components, forming a reliable weld.
