There are times when no available product really fills your customer’s need. This can be especially true when dealing with very new equipment, as well as very old equipment. New equipment simply may not have the right parts designed yet, while parts for very old equipment may have become obsolete.
In either case, custom parts can solve your problems. Choosing a parts and fasteners vendor who can make custom u-bolts or other parts when needed can save your company lots of time and money.
When you have access to custom u-bolts and other custom parts, you don’t need to spend a lot of time searching for the right products. Instead, simply have your vendor fabricate the parts you need for a custom fit.
Talk to your vendor about their abilities to machine custom parts when you need these. If you’re lucky enough to have a vendor that has such capabilities, you’ll be able to make short work of all your custom needs.
To have custom products fabricated, plan to work with the vendor’s designer to provide specs on the products you need. They will create a design and then a prototype for your approval.
Once you have approved the prototype, your vendor can begin manufacturing your custom u-bolts or other items. Be sure to talk with your vendor about the general lead-time required to get your products designed and fabricated.
Once you have a vendor that can design and create custom fabrications for you, you’ll have solved problems for today as well as for the future. You’ll know that any time you have a need for a fastener, screw or bolt that doesn’t currently exist, your vendor can custom design and fabricate what you need to get the job done. This makes a huge difference for your customer and your business.
