Hydroforming

All, hydroformed components tare lasercut to create high quality weld joints, higher productivity, besides component accuracies. ALF has invested in top of the line machines from M/s Trumpf and M/s NTC for this purpose.

Components :
Trailing Arms
Suspension Links
Cradles (Engine & Rear)
Cross Members
Side Members
Roof Rails
