Advanced Manufacturing for the Transportation Industry

Stronger Components. Shorter Lead Times. Zero Compromise.

Flue gas cooling and waste heat recovery

Transportation manufacturers operate in an environment where every part must perform flawlessly. Frames, housings, lifting structures, platforms, and load-bearing assemblies face constant vibration, impact, weather exposure, and safety-critical duty cycles. A single fabrication error or supply-chain delay can halt production, drive warranty costs, or put equipment at risk in the field.

At LJUNGSTRÖM, we understand these pressures—and we’ve built our Advanced Manufacturing division to eliminate them.

With century-deep industrial expertise and some of the largest fabrication, machining, and coating assets in the U.S., we help transportation OEMs build safer, stronger, longer-lasting equipment with confidence.

The Transportation Industry’s Reality

Transportation Manufacturers Wrestle with three Core Concerns:

Performance &
Reliability Risks

Structural components must withstand:

  • Heavy, repeated loads 
  • Long-term vibration and fatigue s
  • Abrasion, corrosion, and weather 
  • High-stress connections and interfaces 

If a part fails, it’s more than a defect—it becomes a safety event.

Production & Supply
Chain Pressures

  • Tight delivery schedules 
  • Shrinking skilled labor pools 
  • Rising material and rework costs 
  • Fragmented suppliers incapable of scaling 

Delays and inconsistencies simply aren’t an option. 

Evolving
Requirements

Transportation systems are getting heavier, larger, and more sophisticated—requiring: 

  • Larger weldments 
  • Complex machining 
  • Specialized coatings 
  • Documented quality and certifications 

You need partners who can grow with you. 

What Transportation OEMs Want (And Deserve) 

Components that last longer and perform better

Predictable fabrication quality and documentation

A supplier that handles fabrication, machining, and coating under one roof

Heavy-lift capacity for oversized, complex assemblies

Faster lead times with less risk and fewer handoffs

Engineering support that understands structural and load-bearing requirements

This is exactly what LJUNGSTRÖM delivers. 

Why Transportation Leaders
Choose LJUNGSTRÖM

Most shops can’t handle transportation-grade
structures. LJUNGSTRÖM can.

Industrial-Scale Fabrication
for Heavy-Duty Components

Most shops can’t handle transportation-grade structures. LJUNGSTRÖM can.

  • Weldments up to 18′ × 16′ × 90′ × 100 tons
  • Robotic structural cutting for beams, channels, tubing & bar
  • 3″ plasma/oxy-fuel cutting + 1.5″ plate rolling
  • 265,000 sq. ft. of production space
  • ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 certified

We fabricate frames, bases, structural members, platforms, housings, and critical chassis components with consistency and precision.

Large-Format CNC Machining
to Tight Tolerances

Transportation systems depend on clean fits, smooth interfaces, and repeatable accuracy. LJUNGSTRÖM delivers:

  • Vertical boring up to 96″ swings
  • Horizontal milling tables up to 21 ft long
  • Engine lathes up to 84″ swing × 24 ft length
  • CNC lathes, VMCs, and large-platform mills
  • 80-ton stress relief furnace for dimensional stability

Critical mating surfaces, connection points, rollers, rings, flanges, and housings are machined for optimal strength and durability.

High-Performance Coating
& Corrosion Protection

Transportation components must survive harsh,
real-world conditions. .

Our Capabilities Include:

  • Climate-controlled paint & blast booths (18′ × 18′ × 60′) 
  • Multi-layer wet coatings with zinc-rich primers, epoxies & urethanes 
  • Thermal spray metalizing (Tungsten Carbide, Chrome Carbide, Stellite) 
  • Galvanizing via certified ASME A123 partners 
  • NACE Level 1 & 2 inspection with full QA documentation 

Your components don’t just look better—they last longer, even in corrosive or high-wear environments. 

How LJUNGSTRÖM Helps the
Transportation Industry Move Forward

Indoor Heated Warehouse

Our vertical integration (fabrication + machining + coating + shipping) eliminates supplier gaps, delays, and surprises.

We Increase Reliability.

Engineering-backed processes, climate-controlled coating, and precision machining ensure consistent, specification-accurate results.

We Scale with Your Growth.

From one-offs to repeatable multi-site production, our capacity supports long-term platform development.

We Improve Total Lifecycle Value.

Better builds, higher tolerances, and superior coatings reduce maintenance, downtime, and replacements.

What We Build for Transportation Clients 

Heavy equipment frames & platforms

Chassis components & structural members

Load-bearing weldments

Housings, enclosures & guards

Machined brackets, rings, rollers & flanges

Material-handling structures

Corrosion-resistant, coated or metalized assemblies

If it’s large, heavy, or mission-critical—we can fabricate it, machine it, coat it, inspect it, and ship it.
