Trailers

Trailer bumpers, weldments, and tube-frame production for OEM programs.

Trailer work here is production welding first — then assembly, then the cutting, forming, and tube bending that feed the weldment — on bumpers, structural weldments, and tube-frame assemblies in Fort Worth and DFW. We quote repeating OEM programs, not one-off job-shop work.

Production fabrication for trailer OEMs

Trailer fabrication at Kannon is steel work: production welding, then assembly, then the cutting, forming, and tube bending that feed the weldment. Bumpers, structural weldments, and tube-frame assemblies 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.

Bumpers, weldments, and tube-frame work

RFQs we can run look like production trailer bumpers, structural weldments, tube frames, and bracket-and-tube assemblies — cut, formed, bent, welded, and fit up in-house. Shop-floor proof for this market is the production trailer bumper and trailer weldment photos on this page and on the work gallery. Those builds are production welding evidence for a repeating program.

Repeating trailer programs in Fort Worth

Trailer manufacturing here is partnership work, not a one-off job shop. The first bumper, weldment, or tube-frame unit 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), plus in-house tube bending for square, round, and rectangular profiles. Send drawings, materials, volume, and timing when you are ready to qualify the shop.

What to send in a trailer RFQ

Drawings or a model, material and weld spec, annual or release volume, and the date the first units have to ship. Call out tube profile, bend radius, 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.
