TIG Welding

Hitch Point uses TIG welding over MIG welding for several key reasons:

  1. Precision and Control: TIG welding offers greater control, allowing for more precise and clean welds, essential for high-quality trailer construction.
  2. Superior Weld Quality: TIG welds are stronger, cleaner, and have fewer defects, enhancing the structural integrity of trailers.
  3. Material Versatility: TIG welding is ideal for thin materials and non-ferrous metals like aluminum, commonly used in trailers.
  4. Aesthetic Appearance: TIG welding produces neat, spatter-free welds, important for the visual appeal of trailers.
  5. Heat Control: Better heat control in TIG welding reduces the risk of warping, crucial for maintaining the shape and strength of trailer components.

 

Overall, TIG welding ensures that Hitch Point trailers are durable, strong, and visually appealing.
