Engineered for Unmatched Strength and Durability
Crafted from high-tensile strength steel, the 31097-001 Extension Weldment is engineered to withstand immense stress and heavy loads. The term “weldment” signifies a multi-piece fabricated assembly, and in this case, it means every joint has been expertly welded by Thieman to create a single, incredibly strong unit. This precision manufacturing process ensures that the component meets strict dimensional tolerances, which is critical for proper alignment and function within the complex mechanics of a liftgate system. The entire assembly is finished with a durable, corrosion-resistant coating that protects the steel from environmental hazards like road salt, moisture, and chemical exposure. This meticulous attention to material and construction quality translates directly into a longer service life, reduced maintenance, and most importantly, a safer working environment for your operators.
