Aerial Lift Platforms
Frames, platforms, and aluminum man-baskets for aerial lift OEMs.
Aerial lift work here is production welding first — then assembly, then machining — on frames, rails, platforms, and aluminum man-basket weldments in Fort Worth and DFW. We quote repeating OEM programs, not one-off job-shop work.
Aluminum man-basket
Fabricated aluminum personnel man-basket with perforated panels — welding and assembly proof for aerial lift OEM programs.
Production welding for aerial lift OEM programs
Aerial lift fabrication at Kannon is steel and aluminum work: production welding, then assembly, then the machining that locates the weldment. Frames, rails, platforms, and personnel-basket weldments run on the same Fort Worth floor. Buyers see weld qualifications, bay and robot counts, and inspection before a plant visit — the same evidence used to qualify a repeating manufacturing partner.
Frames, platforms, and aluminum man-baskets
RFQs we can run look like platform frames, rail weldments, deck structures, and aluminum personnel man-baskets — cut, formed, welded, and fit up in-house. Shop-floor proof for this market is the Aluminum man-basket photo on this page and on the work gallery. That build is production welding and assembly evidence for a repeating program.
Repeating OEM programs in Fort Worth
Aerial lift manufacturing here is partnership work, not a one-off job shop. The first frame, platform, or man-basket weldment sets the fixture, weld, and inspection sequence so the next units run the same way for Dallas–Fort Worth and national OEM releases. Fort Worth capacity is 30 manual MIG/TIG bays and 3 OTC welding robots (including a 16 ft slider). Send drawings, materials, volume, and timing when you are ready to qualify the shop.
What to send in an aerial lift RFQ
Drawings or a model, material and weld spec, annual or release volume, and the date the first units have to ship. Call out fixture or inspection requirements if they are already set. Structural steel programs are quoted against AWS D1.1, D1.3, 80K, and 100K where those apply. We will tell you if the work fits the floor.
