Heavy Equipment Manufacturing
Heavy equipment work here is production welding first — then assembly, then machining — on OEM weldments, frames, tanks, and structural fabrications in Fort Worth and DFW. We quote repeating programs, not one-off job-shop work.
Fuel Tanks
Welded Fuel Tanks from a heavy equipment program — production weldment proof from the Fort Worth shops.
Heavy equipment fabrication at Kannon is steel work: production welding, then assembly, then the machining that locates the weldment. OEM weldments, frames, tanks, and structural fabrications 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.
RFQs we can run look like production weldments, equipment frames, fuel tanks, skid frames, and structural assemblies — cut, formed, welded, and fit up in-house. Shop-floor proof for this market is the Fuel Tanks photo on this page and on the work gallery. That build is production welding evidence for a repeating program.
Heavy equipment manufacturing here is partnership work, not a one-off job shop. The first frame, tank, or structural 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.
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.
Robotic and manual welding is the primary capacity behind heavy equipment OEM weldments — 30 manual MIG/TIG bays and 3 OTC welding robots (including a 16 ft slider).

Challenge
Production weldments, frames, and tanks for high-cycle OEM operating conditions.
Solution
A welding-first fab sequence focused on structural reliability and repeatable fit-up.
Result
Fewer escapes and better schedule predictability on the next cycle.
Send drawings, materials, annual volume, and timing. Someone from Kannon will follow up directly.
