The Challenge
Parklifts required a cost reduction exercise across key sheet metal components used in their lift systems, without compromising safety or performance.
High material waste from inefficient nesting
Complex assemblies increasing labour time
Excessive secondary operations
Inconsistent tolerances affecting installation
Pressure to reduce costs without compromising durability
The Solution
Arben conducted a full design and manufacturing optimisation exercise to reduce costs without compromising quality or safety.
Design Review & Engineering
3D CAD analysis and optimisation, material reduction where viable, part consolidation to reduce assembly complexity, improved tolerances for repeatability.
Manufacturing Optimisation
Improved laser cutting nesting, introduced CNC punching for efficiency, reduced welding through smarter design, standardised components.
Assembly Improvements
Reduced part count, improved fit-up accuracy, streamlined installation.
Finishing
Powder coating for durability and corrosion resistance.
THE OUTCOME
Reduced material waste
Lower production time
Reduced labour costs
Improved consistency
Maintained compliance and structural integrity
KEY RESULTS
Cost reduction across components
Faster production
Scalable manufacturing
Reduced secondary processes
Improved efficiency
